>>1118532What is their spice blend?
Is it more of a sweet or vinegar sauce?
Goober burgers are always popular it seems.
Nor am I. Ground sirloin is hard to beat.

>>1118534Cajun, little bit of heat to it. Hits just right.
Sweet BBQ, ketchup base. Probably has honey in it, as that's what they use to make their peanut butter sauce.
>Goober burgersOn paper it makes some sense. Caramelized onions, honey/peanut butter sauce. Took some time to perfect I'm sure.
Agreed. But we'll see when I finally make the plunge.

>>1118536They don't overdo themselves on it. Rare I can find perfect fries like them around here. Most places do an under-cooked unseasoned steak fry that just depresses me.
Damn straight.

Thanks. This batch I kept for myself, but the next few I sent out to friends and family.

>>1118537There is nothing as telling about the quality of a place as fries.
We hand-cut ours and then do a blanch in oil before letting them cool and then going in for a second. Keeps the insides fluffy and the outside crispy.
Season with a mixture of onion and garlic powers, salt, pepper, paprika, and a bit of cayenne.
If you ever find your way to Hemingway, SC it is illegal to not stop at Scott's BBQ. They are a treasure of SC and worth every penny.
I try everything we cook. I have been known to have the "pregnant pallet" sometimes so I do enjoy goober burgers.
I need to make something nice for the lab people at Wolf's work at some point. Maybe eclairs.

It's about getting the basics right. If they can't put effort into doing a good fry, then odds are they won't put effort in elsewhere.
>If you ever find your way to Hemingway, SC it is illegal to not stop at Scott's BBQ. They are a treasure of SC and worth every penny.Oh dear, is it the one near FIG? Or the one near Hemingway? Edit: Oh derp you said Hemingway. I'll add it now. I'll make it another must on my way up north if need be.
Pfff, apropos title for such foodstuffs I suppose.
I never turn down an eclair. Nor a cookie or especially a perfect brownie.
>>1118539Oh yes, you showed me a laughably sized portion of BBQ too a year or two back. That quad burg cost about 14 dollars. With fries and a drink.

>>1118539White chocolate and espresso muffins
French omelet stuffed with parsley and brie.
Lemon turmeric pancakes
Polenta made with mushroom stock.
Overnight Oatmeal with golden currants, figs, and apricots, topped with house-made granola and fresh berries.
Open from 5 till noon.
>>1118540Exactly! Another thing I do is take a walk behind a kitchen. If their backdoor looks like shit then god help you what it looks like inside.
It is closer to FIG but it would be an extra hour drive.
I think so! But then again I got people looking at me strangely for salting a watermelon.
Best tip for eclairs is when you have the choux in the mixing bowl and it is cool enough for the eggs to be added, once you can make a V with a paddle and it stays in a solid mass it is done.
I should demo it one day here.

>>1118545It is really easy for most places. Most of the time you will see the cooks coming in and out of it depending on where the walk-in is. Normally close to where their trash cans are.
It is my pleasure.
Ha, so did mine. Did he also enjoy making peanut butter and Karo syrup for biscuits?
I will keep that in mind for the next day I have off.
A good demo for stock-making, eclairs, and maybe roasting chicken and making pan sauces.

Of course! Thank you in advance.
Of course, he did! Made it out of old drum barrels that he somehow always had.
Eclairs it is!
Oh honey you have the best weapon there.
So, I would strain them through a cheesecloth to remove any solids from the drippings, and then store them in a container of your choice. Something that always is good for that is homemade gravy. Make a roux and add the drippings and you have an extra delicious gravy!
Or save the drippings and make a sauce from them.
The best way to do that is to reduce the filtered drippings in a pan and add cold butter a bit at a time until it is thick.
Pour over some chops.

>Drum barrelsOh, mine just welded steel into a box 6 feet high and layered wire racks into it so all the meat drippings would fall onto and marinate each other. Still, spooky stuff.

A little trick for mash, take a head of garlic drizzle a bit of oil on the top of it, wrap it in foil, and back it in the oven at 350F for about 30ish minutes or until it is soft and caramel-colored.
When you are mixing the butter and cream into the potatoes add the roasted garlic to it. Then you have roast garlic mashed potatoes. Season with salt and white pepper.
