Roast Beef Poboy
Some things scream Southern cuisine without even trying. Gumbo, jambalaya, and poboys all let you know which region you're driving through if your GPS is broken and your sense of direction sucks. The Roast Beef Poboy is at the top of that list. The Roast Beef Poboy also has the distinction of being the first actual poboy. The two main versions of the Roast Beef Poboy you'll see around both contain a dark, beefy gravy. The difference lies in the meat. Some places serve the poboy with sliced, deli-style roast beef. While this version is still delicious, in my opinion, it takes a backseat to the number one way to…

Classic Italian Lasagna
I've always found lasagna to be a very interesting dish. The recipes and methods most everyone uses are always similar but it seems like every dish turns out just slightly different. This makes lasagna a very eccentric dish to cook.

Hearty Beef Chili
Chili: As the dog days of summer draw to a close and the thermometer begins to drop, the thing I look forward to the most is being able to cook my hot soup stew-like recipes. Personally, I can eat dishes like gumbo, chilli, and soup on the hottest days of the summer. I understand though that most people like to wait for the Halloween decorations to start popping up before indulging in the warmer comfort foods which is cool...I guess.

Caribbean Inspired Beef Curry
Curries are one heck of an amazing thing in the culinary world. The name and a few ingredients (curry powder mostly) are the only thing that curries have in common. The geography could not be more different. India, Thailand, Haiti, and Jamaica are just a handful of countries that have their own curry. Although I do love curries from India and Thailand, today I'm going to focus on a more caribbean inspired curry.

Birria Torta
Birria is a traditional Mexican stew usually served at special occasions. But more recently it has taken the internet by storm, most notably, in taco form. In birria, the meat (traditionally goat but in this case I used the more easily found chuck roast) is slow cooked in a spicy adobo sauce. Then, it’s either shredded and served in taco form or eaten with all the glorious juices and accoutrements in stew form. But of course, we had to make a sammich. Although the term “torta” represents several different culinary items, (it’s an omelette in the Philippines by the way…just learned that cool fact) here we’ll be discussing the torta…

Roasted Prime Rib
Ah...the prime rib. The star of Christmas dinners and casino buffets across the country. More properly referred to as standing rib roast (not all rib roasts have to be deemed prime by the USDA) because you can stand it on its own bones while cooking. The rib roast is one of nine primal cuts of the cow and certainly one of the more sought after cuts.

Short Rib Debris Quesadillas
The quesadilla has had quite the journey in its existence. From its humble beginnings in Mexico, to now. It's available in just about every south of the border style restaurant in the world, from sit downs to drive thrus. I've come to notice that the mighty quesadilla is to adults what chicken nuggets and mac and cheese are to kids. Even the most picky eaters can always find culinary solace in the quesadilla, which does indeed make dining out a bit easier. Because again, you usually will always be able to find a quesadilla on a menu.
