The Drunken Chef

Hey ya'll once again from the big dry ditch of Las Vegas. I had picked up some beautiful chix I wanted to deep fry but soon discovered I didn't have enough oil. Why not just drive down to the local grub store and buy it you ask? BECAUSE I WAS PISS DRUNK!! Alrighty then. I grab the bottle of Hornitos tequila and ready myself to begin the destruction. I fire up the cast iron dutch oven and just start throwing stuff in. Olive oil. Garilc. Julieanned shallot. Chix thighs. Gets a little blurry here but I somehow managed to debone the thighs without chopping off my leg but then all good cooks should be able to pull that off. The vast majority of experienced kitchen rats and riffraff cook much better after a bottle of wine or three. Those of you reading this keep that little kitchen tip in mind, especially when family from out of town is around. If the wife is chewing your ass the next day for your drunken lewd and lascivious behavior in the kitchen the previous night, then you know you must have made a helluva meal and did it right.

Continuing on, I soon missplaced my shot glass and decided to dispensed with it all together. Why should tequila have to go through a middleman anyway. Liquors quicker straight from the bottle. I discovered I had a stash of dried pequins from last season and bada bing bada boom in they went. Same with some forlorn looking button mushrooms. Whirring and stirring with a spoon in one hand and the bottle of firewater in the other, why not deglaze the pan with tequila? Excellent idea! Might as well get rid of the rest of the hab salsa I made the other day. In that goes, adios baby! Add some seasalt and cracked black pepper. Whir and stir. Taste. It tastes like burning. Nice.

Somehow during this culinary rampage I managed to take a few pics.

The beginning of the end...

I can't be sure but I think I ate it with tortilla's but who can say. This morning as I looked at the devastation in the Blues Kitchen I reckoned that were I to detonate a hundred pounds of C4
in the middle of it I would only cause about $21.47 worth of damage. Mrs. Blues was not amused but and well acquainted with my late night shenanigans. Ahhh marital bliss.

Now that I have started this thread, I call on all you THP drunks, sots, and gin blossomed heathens to keep it going. Pics are mandatory and it goes without saying that rule number one is...YOU MUST BE DRUNK WHEN COOKING!!

So get the divorce papers ready, get your favorite bottle of liquid stupid and get cookin' ya'll!

Cheers, TB.
 
its actually the first spicy food I have really had here in Chicago

did buy a bottle of Black Mamba though, and talk about brutal
 
CHeezuz H. JayT! Have mercy but I could roll that up on a corn tortilla w/goat cheese, habs and sundried tom. That is pure MAN FOOD!

:confused: I dont know why you gave JT credit for the meal I made :crazy:


CH, where the hell are you finding one pound lobster tails these days? The ones I can find are no bigger than big shrimps! :lol:

That looks absolurely sinful!!

I stopped at a grocery store on the way home cuz I needed something, walked by the meat department & saw they had a whole row of BLT's (big lobster tail) & I HAD to buy one :drooling: :drooling: I dont see any point in buying those very little lobster tails. they even had jumbo shrimps.



was that a florida lobster???

It looks great!

Guessing from the shape of the package I would have though it was burrito meat.

no it was from another country, I read the bag it was placed in but forget the location, I think it was from central or south america ?



wheebz - the sandwich looks good & sounds like a scorcher.
 
well I'm going for a hat trick with these country style pork ribs.
store bought pork rub, added smoked serrano powder & bhut jolokia powder to the rub

yum

10 of us from my brewing school are going to a brazillian steak house this saturday for my birthday

so freakin excited
 
I've enjoyed every minute spent going over this thread during the past couple of days. Spicy food and booze -- not much else one can really ask for.

So, although our dinner tonight was hardly Iron Chef material, I felt compelled to share. A newb has to start somewhere, right? Especially given that tonight is a four beer night (not four bottles, four kinds).

Chile con Queso con Beer and some tacos (also con beer).


The Players:
Not pictured: flour, spices, a few other types of cheese for the tacos, and hungry girlfriend.

First picture I took while pouring beer into the taco meat ended up with Natural Light spilled all over the stove. I'm not ambidextrous sober, so while I'm buzzed it's a miracle I can even write my own name. On the upside, I didn't spill the Arrogant Bastard.
 
Wow that is some awesome looking stuff being made lately. I'll take some of each please!

Wheebz, I hope you have a good time at your Brazilian Birthday Party with your NEW FRIENDS!

CH, TB wasn't giving me credit for your dish, he was being funny, read it again.
 
Nice job Nick. Everything tastes better with a splash of beer. Sometimes I'll add a little beer to my beer, just to enhance the flavor a bit.
Welcome.
 
great looking grub recently in the Drunken Chef thread.

Nick, awesome first DC post! Love the Kitty in the Cupboard :lol: Looking forward to more of your drunken concoctions~ SL
 
I have no booze pic for this one, but you have to trust me i am drukft. If need be I can take a pic of booze, but alas, I forgot to take one when cooking. Here is my ultimate roast beef sandwich.

I started by making some French onion soup,

That's my friend's Mule mustard. A horsey hot mustard. Then added some pepperjack and under the broiler it goes.

I ladled some of the French onion soup into a bowl and used it for the au jus. Simply perfect.

JT - great looking roast beef sandwich, thats how I like making roast beef sandwiches...using garlic bread is far better than regular bread.

TB - thats the best looking shrimp taco I've seen!
