The Mighty Cone!

chappy — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:58:59 +0000

First you gotta realize that this thing is a technically a taco..then, come to terms with the fact that it might be the tastiest taco in town. We are all children of the cone. [mightycone.com]

wait a minute! i just realized that back in 2007 when I wrote about the chicken cones at ACL fest, I entitled my post “The Mighty Chicken Cone” .. did I name the place?

Rio Grande – beef tenderloin taco

chappy — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:58:15 +0000

Don’t confuse this with the Brisket taco – the tenderloin at Rio is much better – juicy chunks of steak with avocado and a tangy tomatillo salsa…Great taco. Perfect base coat for a night of heavy booZin.

Chappy’s Superbowl Habanero Carne Guisada

chappy — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 22:55:31 +0000

Carne guisada is one of my favorite dishes.. its a mexican beef stew with a spicy kick that goes great as taco and burrito filling or just in a bowl like chili.. I tried my hand at making it on superbowl sunday thanks to inspiration from a recipe post on the Homesick Texan (one of my favorite food blogs!). Lisa’s recipe served as the jumping off point for my creation.. I went with an orange and yellow theme – yellow tomatoes, carrots (to give it more of the pot roast vibe), no onions, a lot of garlic, and then I kicked it up the scoville units with the slow burn of habanero peppers! I let it stew in my crock pot for about 6 hours… bring in the taco cabana tortillas, avocado slices and fresh cilantro on special teams.. then turned the Chippys loose on my creation at the super 43 bowl party..

Cabeza got a $16 steak for lunch that was aiight.. we got a nice queso appetizer that included carnitas, jalapenos, avacado, and cilantro on the side.. worth a try.

Thanks to all who came out and supported Joby’s Hot Sauce Fest. Taco Town took home the first place price for a the third year in a row! Chappy’s green sauce didnt win this year, it was the dark horse, dboz’s pineapple-habanero concoction that won over the crowd in a field of over 20 entries.

His sauce was a fresh, all organic mix of pineapple, guava, lime, cilantro, habanero peppers, and one item that will remain his secret. All adding up to a tropical fiesta for the mouth that earned him 1 year of glory.

1st Place – DBOZ
2nd Place – Joby’s mom
3rd Place – Kem Watts
4th Place – Angela Hodges
