You can't make proper gravy in commercial quantities. Can't be done. Love and roux required.

I drive J crazy with the length of time it takes to build my roux.

I just tell him he can go to Denny's and ask for their wallpaper paste or just be patient. It will be worth it.

 

[SeeMeRolling]

I make a mean SOS. I can’t stand it out anywhere.

Mine has the right amount of heat (spice).

 

[midwestyankee]

I don't have an answer for that. The time demands would make cooking to order all but impossible. I guess one could make a skillet full, and serve it till it's gone. Point is, gravy made from a mix can't compete.

Sounds like I will have to find a diner down south that has a really big skillet if I'm to get some proper sausage gravy.

Or maybe an invite to breakfast at Gracie's.

I presume we are talking about creamed chipped beef here? Haven't had any in decades.

I have been known to throw down a big spread for breakfast but never in my current tiny kitchen. Could be a challenge.

We could all bring something.

champagne and orange juice?

ooooo! Talk dirty to me Any time!

 

[gracie920101]

I’ll bring fruit. Also, tequila sunrises. And water.
Greetings, ladies and gents.

I'm good for the biscuits and gravy.

Maybe I'll raid the neighbor's chicken coop for fresh eggs.

I can't make up my mind between tequila or champagne.

 

[gracie920101]

Why not both?

I'm not sure how much I can cook if I do both.
lightweight

 

[gracie920101]

I’ll make them weak. And I’ll cook. You relax.

Nah....I like to cook and besides, I'm not on the covid front lines. If anyone should relax, it should be you.

Also...are you afraid I'll throw in some pineapple while you're not looking?

<ducks and runs for cover>

 

[gracie920101]

Slick, gracie.

(Yes. I know what I said.)

LOL

I'm not sure the younger crowd gets that

Pretty sure both of you know this reference only because you took History of Rock and Roll in high school, right? I, on the other hand, was an actual high school student when I first heard about the acid white rabbit on Top 40 radio.

 

[twister947]

Ms. Slick is 80, soon to be 81. Yikes!

 

[gracie920101]

Whipping up the tequila sunrises.
Who’s in?

I've got brats with peppers and onions on the stove. That should go good with tequila sunrise.

Brats are always good.

 

[twister947]

We are.

With peppers and onions?

 

[midwestyankee]

We are.

I think I know where to put the pepper, but the onion seems a little more problematic.

[gracie920101]

Far talked up tequila sunrises so much that J made us one while I finished up the brats with peppers and onions.

Lucky me!

Now I'm too full to clean up the kitchen. It will have to wait a bit.

 

[gracie920101]

That looks truly delicious.

Oh it was! J (my resident carnivore) was happy with it too.

Thank you, btw.

And definitely thanks for the tequila sunrise!!

*shoots Little Johnny dagger eyes*

 

[Aphroditiac]

Brats are always good.

Really now? Never thought of you as a Brat lover...

 

[midwestyankee]

Absolutely! Especially when they come with soft buns.

I've been on a kick lately trying to learn more about regional hamburgers and cheeseburgers. I've had In and Out, Shake Shack, Whataburger, and Friendly's among the regional chains and a few locally-famous butter burgers up in Wisconsin. Would love to try some of the other regionals in their natural habitat but travel seems to be a helluva lot more daunting and dangerous right now than I like.

Who's had some experience with regional burgers? I ask in part because Chicago doesn't really have a local style and I love all foods local.

Best burger and root beer I ever had was at The Spot Drive-In in Kenosha. They make their own root beer.

There used to be a chain in OK called Sandy's that was bought out by Hardees. Of course I grew up on Sonic burgers and A&W. I love Carl's Jr. French fries. They're different because they are extruded so they become really crunchy out side and soft and buttery, creamy inside.

 

[ultramarineblue]

A good burger would be wonderful right now. I tend to prefer a local place over a chain. There used to be a great place not far from my house for a good diner type burger. There are a couple of places a few towns over that season their burgers well.

What regional differences have you found with your burger research, MWY?
