Anyone else find that they are cooking more, or preparing new dishes based on what they've seen on Food Network? I recently started cooking more in an effort to control what I'm eating. The Food Network and a few cooking shows on PBS have definitely made an impact. Last night I made burgers. I seasoned my ground sirloin with the usual spices, but then added breadcrumbs, grated parmesean cheese, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and cilantro. I then stuffed the patties with a mixture of onion, garlic, and mushrooms that I had previously sauteed in white wine. On a toasted bakery roll I applied an avocado spread, spinach leaves, sliced plum tomatoes, and some grated cheddar/jack cheese. Pre-food network, my burgers would have consisted of salt, pepper, and a bun. I'm not saying I'm a great cook - I'm not - but things are getting tastier (and healthier) in Big D's kitchen. Discuss.

damn that really sounds like a great tasting burger. hook pook up next time I am town bro!
and to answer your question--NO, my cooking skills remain in the toilet.
:-(
Roberto - good luck getting Big D to invite - he's very exclusive when he cooks!
Look, I run a test kitchen, not a diner! :-) In 5-10 years when I'm really good, I'll invite you all over. I promise.
what a punk.
Pook, that kind of ungratefulness could get a brother banned from Hotel 77. Besides, remember law school? I thought so.
Dave what about your special chinese fried rice -- with the eggs? I have to agree those burgers sound good and I don't eat red meat. :)
Damn Dude,
I really hope my wife isn't reading this blog. She's always cuttin' a hubby down for his lack of skills in the kitchen. She'll turn me into Chef Boyardee if she knows that you're cooking with "breadcrumbs, grated parmesean cheese, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and cilantro." Damn you Big D - you best pray to "El Jesus Negro" that "Mi Esposa Negra" doesn't get wind of this!
