Having Dickie's BBQ for lunch... they ordered it in for a lunch meeting.  It's a Texas-based chain but they just started opening locations here about six months ago.  Delicious. :mmm:

Only one other place around here that I know of actually knows how to do brisket correctly.

So a doner kebab is *not* a gyro! :o

I find placing some of the stuff weird - e.g. a döner kebab could also be with chicken, and a Schnitzelsemmel is more likely to be a chicken or pork schnitzel than a veal schnitzel.

Props for including Bosna, though:

pulled pork with jalapenos on a tortilla from Holy Smokes, the BBQ Cowboy. :cool:

Frau Spiess made some pork schnitzel and spaetzel. It's uncanny how well she can do German cuisine. Anywho, I'm polishing off the leftovers as a late night snack.

Cause German cuisine is not that much different the American cuisine?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Kinda. But she's not from here and is reluctant to adopt American recipes.

Maybe she read Frau Mengele's Old Time Recipes from the Fatherland.

I got a box of Argentinian foodstuffs in the mail on Monday.  A friend bought us a subscription to this service that sends you a box of food and accompanying recipes from a random place every month.  I should run that stuff by you to see what it all is.

spiess, in case you give a crap  :D here's what I got in that box:

Vanoli chimichurri sauce
Memories of Patagonia Malbec wine marinade
Bake Love Coo! butter cookies
Dona Magdalena dulce de leche
Moa Gourmet green olive paste
Chamana and Inti Zen teas
Dulcor dulce de membrillo

I obviously know what chimichurri and dulce de leche are, but never heard of membrillo before.  I googled it and I guess it's made from quinces?

The thing also came with a recipe for some cookies called alfajores that apparently are made with cornmeal and spread with dulce de leche. :hmm:

I ate dinner in a Magic Time Machine. Food was OK, atmosphere worth taking a look. Though the kitchen sink approach to thematic design may rankle some, I found it quite amusing.

Why did I not hear of this place when I was there? :hmm:
