Irish Cheese Burgers
I have burgered with booze before, of course, but today, we're really all about the cheese. Specifically, Kellygold's Dublinier, which is a little difficult to explain, but texturally, it's like a dry cheddar or perhaps a Parmesan block, yet it's a…
Beer-Marinated Pork Fajitas
Yay fajitas! …again. I've been on a kick lately, Thankfully the family has no problem with this, so I get to try stuff. Today, I'm playing with meat and beer, because meat and beer. This serves 5-8 people,…
Grilled Tequila Fajitas
I've been hankering for fajitas for a couple of weeks now, and with the long weekend (plus the official start of Grilling Season), I figured it was time. Fajitas are another thing that have their roots from the vaqueros (Mexican…

Jackburgers
Cooking with whiskeys and bourbons seems to be all the rage these days. Most of it, though, even in Burgerland, seems to be sauce-based flavorings – make a regular burger and put a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce on it, for…
Bacon-Swiss-Mushroom Burger
Sometimes, out of desperation comes greatness. Battles are fought, wars are won, Burgers are made. And, Costco can be avoided for another day. Along this vein we tread perilously today. Options are few, danger is great. But, we must eat….
