Wow.

Went to a restaurant called Old Chicago yesterday and had Italian Nachos.

Deep-fried pasta chips made to look like tortilla chips. Mozarella. Pepperoni. Italian Sausage. Pepperoncini. Marinara dip.

Holy Yum, Batman. I expected to have a heart-attack on the spot, but wow, was it good!

That sounds like a full meal!

It was... we didn't order anything afterwards because we were stuffed. It was huge.

How many beers did you drink. Old Chicago usually has at least 110 choices.

AZRedhawk44 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 24, 2009, 05:22:38 PM »

Just one beer, two of 'em: Killian's.

Wasn't aware they were a big brew-type place. My trusty beers that I order when I'm at a new place are Killian's, Sam Adams and Fat Tire. 99% of bars have at least one of those.

We made Irish Nachos last weekend, if anybody wants a departure from Italian and Mexican versions.

Irish Nachos: Potatoes, killarney sauce, and what else?

brimic · « **Reply #9 on:** September 24, 2009, 06:31:22 PM »

My favorite is home made potato chips with cheese sauce.

Irish nachos? What do you do get drunk and pass out before you make them?

I don't think I can even guess what those consist of. I may look it up.

Slice potatoes w/skin into rounds, similar to cottage fries.

Deep-fry until crispy.

Place in skillet with sliced jalapenos and shredded Colby/Jack cheese, then bake in oven until gooey.

Irish Nachos - enjoy!

And I now have an idea for food after the movie tonight.

I think I just lost an artery looking at that.

You guys are so pedestrian:

1. Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio with wasabi bechamel sauce layered on slivered asparagus
2. Grilled skirt steak, rare, thin sliced and drizzled with brown sugar cognac sauce
3. Steamed king crab leg, shelled, sliced into rounds with a dab of gruyere potato on each
4. Escargot
5. Oysters Rockefeller
6. Slivered lamb tenderloin, rare, on arugula drizzled with soy chili
7. Breaded deep fried squid rings with wasabi mayonaise
8. King Crab Futomaki
9. Boneless Buffalo Short ribs done bulgogi style.

AND A BUCKET OF EXTRA HOT BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS AND A BUDWEISER,

That right there is a recipe for some excitement on the can!

WildAlaska has it right. That other stuff... no thanks.

I'll add: Poached pear with toasted blue cheese on a bed of wild greens.

I'm enjoying Malpeque oysters on the half shell and a tall glass of Yuengling fraft as I type.

Lennyjoe · « **Reply #20 on:** September 25, 2009, 07:09:35 PM »

"Fraft"......doh, I meant draft. Might have to call for a ride after this one.
