🧑‍🍳 Chain / popular restaurants where you've never eaten.

One of my favorites but people seem to either love it or hate it.

I'm a hater

I’ll have to see if it’s streaming somewhere and check out a few episodes. There’s a lot of shows that are/were popular that I’ve never seen- Parks and Rec, The Office, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones to mention a few

"The Contest" is a good one to start. Fall of '92 is when that episode premiered. I think it may be the funniest of the series.

Crazy I can remember this, but I think you'll know why. Fall of '92, right? Instead of playing a cupcake Bama had an off week before Auburn. I'd recorded the episode and had a few friends over that Saturday. It left two of them in tears.

I will try this one. Here one I did about 6-7 month a ago for our grandson. It a lot of cheese and pepperoni.

PS It was just a joke! Now I would buy it because our grandson would eat almost 85% of this without batting and eye! He should does like his pizza.

I decided to go this route instead of using a few baking pans I have. I wish I had used one of those OR a different run on the temp.

The Mozz keeps sauce from getting the crust wet and that's the reason for it being below the sauce. However, when it's in the oven that long, and may be it is the skillet here, it KEEPS the moisture out of the crust. It's not burnt. It's a crunch.

Block of mozz shredded.
1/4 (tad more) of ground sirloin.
Brat, skinned, mixed with the sirloin.
Sauce.
Green Peppers. That's it.

One crust.
Mozz.
Second crust.
Sauce, meats.
I topped with sweet fresh Green Peppers.

It look good! Now take those pepper off and my grandson would take a bite or two.

That sounds like a personal problem.

I love the contrast in taste with bell peppers and tomato sauces. With them on top you still have the crunch.

The taste was perfect. The crust...gotta work on that.

If I didn't have a quiche in the fridge I'd be taking this concept with a different twist.

Dough in skillet for 7-8 minutes baking at 425 ... pull it...

Cheese layer
Sausage gravy is where I'm going here. A tomato sauce would work.
Scrambled eggs
(optional meats)
Sharp Cheddar, shredded.

Skillet back in the oven for another 6-7 minutes.

It's basically the same thing you would do if you were making a breakfast pizza. Except, here it would be a 1 1/2" thick pie servings. Just like quiche, or pie, is served.

(DUDE. If you used some Chirizo, changed your cheese to a mexican type blend, topped with Pico...good lord that would be good!)

@rick4bama

Here ya go. Try this one.

Baking sheet greased/sprayed.
425 oven
Dough
Sausage gravy (I made mine this morning with Chirizo.)
7 eggs
1/3 cup half and half, cream, milk ... your call. I used half and half.
Salt
Pepper
Chives.
Six/Seven slices of bacon crumbled to bits.
2 T of olive oil (brush dough before putting in over for the first time.)

Your pizza dough goes in for 7 minutes, then out.
Top with the gravy, then the eggs, then cheese, top with bacon.
Back in the oven for another 7 minutes.
Slice as a pizza, serve as one.

Ever make your own bacon? Cooked some i made yesterday, it was really good. Just take a 3lb piece of pork belly put a salt, pepper, brown sugar if you want, I only use a little, and curing salt mix on it then in a zip lock bag in the fridge for 4 to 6 days turning twice a day and smoke it at 200 until it hits 150. Pretty simple and I like it better than any main brand bacon I've tried.

 

[rick4bama]

@TerryP That is my grandson. Not mush he will not eat but then again a whole lot he won't eat. He has aspergers put a X Box in front of him and he will go thought a new game within a day.

No. I haven't. Pork, the Chorizo I mentioned, Brats, Italian Sausage...all come from the meat place I hit. It's part of what they call their "specialties." I'm intrigued.

Speaking of ... we were talking about cowboy steak and presentation. I didn't know until recently they offered airline chicken. I don't know how I missed it.

When I was stationary I made a not of sausage as well, now that's something you can spend some time on. So many recipes out there.

I saw a blueberry bacon the last time. I walked out and forgot; one of those days. He has an onion sausage I love!

Bacon can be overly sweet for me really quickly, I want a touch but not much.

A blueberry/bacon sausage they'd made.

Coming this way soon though... starting TN. Personally, I really like their burgers/fries.

The company is moving to Tennessee. Expect to see many, many more on the east coast.

Yeah, looking forward to it, but I'm sure it'll still be a while before they are in my market. Saw some photos of the lines of the ones that opened in the Nashville area this week and it was ridiculous. I know some people enjoy the opening day rush, but I just can't imagine waiting in a line like that for a fast food burger. Or any other type of food.

They put a Wendy's in Thomasville a month or so back, same way with the lines. People act like they've never been to a Wendy's, don't get it. Fast food could close up shop and I can't think of anything I'd miss.

For a Wendy's? LOL. People love anything new I guess.

I'd miss Chick-fil-A... not gonna lie. They are such an easy, quick, quality, and consistent meal. But if they went away, I'd save a lot of money...

Probably the one I like most but go maybe twice a year so don't think I'd miss it much.

LOL, sometimes I end up there twice a day.
