Crawfish Bacon Cheesecake
Sometimes you come across food that folks will refer to as "stick to your ribs". This is one of those recipes that will stick to your ribs, your arms, and your legs. Seriously, do not plan on eating anything else the rest of the day if you make this recipe. I've always been a fan of the idea of taking a dish that is usually thought of as sweet and making it savory. This is a prime example of that.

Jowl Bacon and Brie Sandwich
Pork jowl is quite possibly the most under-appreciated piece of piggy out there. Taken from the cheek of the pig, this fatty and flavorful cut is not well known by everyone. Popular in the South as a perfect addition to a pot of beans or black eyed peas, it also makes a delicious bacon. It's cured for a while and then smoked. You think you will have died and gone to bacon heaven.

Beer and Cheese Soup
For some people soup is a cool weather only treat. That makes sense. It's a warm you up, stick to the ribs treat. It's certainly not a food that will help cool your body down after a long day of hiking, kayaking, or some other warm day activity. But in spite of all that, and also in spite of the fact it may make me a bit odd, I love soup three hundred and sixty five days out of the year. And...Beer and Cheese Soup is at the top of my list.

Boudin King Cake
This recipe first started making its rounds on the internet about five years ago and to put it simply, at a party or function, it's a show stopper. Unless someone at the party is roasting a whole pig in a hole in the ground or your drunk uncle is chasing the soon to be fried chicken around with a hatchet, I promise this will be the most talked about dish at the get-together.
