contest VOTE! Ethnic/Regional Sandwich II

[JayT]

It was on my short list, but since I am a "wrongsider" as you say, I went with what I know best. Failing.

Anything a torta can do, a TORTILLA can do better.

God-speak!

Chin up, LDHS! If I did this just for votes, I'd have been committed to a mental hospital about a year ago.

Oh I know - was sayin it tongue in cheek. the beauty of the TD is that everyone wins. Me & my friends got to chow down righteous tortas and I have enough grilled ranchero steak to eat off it all week (grilled 5 lbs for 3 people - one gal didn't show). All in fun - I enjoyed making it and pushing the torta to the limit - finally had an occasion to break out the great powders everyone's been sending me.

Sic's Jalapeno & Habanero powders are like crack - a spoonful in the guac and a pinch on in the steak rub and a spoonful in the beans - yum. And the hot garlic rub from Redtail Forrester was incredible - halving the tomato, powdering it with garlic rub and grilling it was probably the best take-away for me in this one. I will absolutely do that again, and I highly recommend all 3 of these rubs/powders.

TD's are like sex....if they're really good they'll be so sloppy you'll need a towell afterwards.

Geeme!!!!!

I'm truly shocked.




Whoa!

Anything a torta can do, a taco or burrito can do better.

Ordinarily I agree - but there's something about taking a sweet french roll, buttering it and smearing mayo on it then grilling it that gives it a unique taste that's specific to the Torta.

For Carne Asada I actually prefer the torta - use whole steak strips instead of chopped up - I think it's a more sophisticated dish.

We've all got out opinions though. By the way - the plating was "traditional" taqueria plating for such a meal. I usually don't bother with the sides, so amusing that I apparently lost points for them here.

And it appears that I got 2 votes. So there.


Rest assured - I will be practicing with my camera prior to next one - in the least I'll have autofocus turned on. Still kicking myself for that - I just thought the lens wasn't suited to close ups.

I just wanted to give a quick shout out and props to one of our newer members, and if I'm not mistaken, a 1st time TD'er; keybrdkido9...You hit the nail on the head with his Italian Beef Giardiniera sammie...

Great method, great colors, the meat, green, red, flecks of seasoning, flaky and chewy bread...the juices running out over the bottom half of the bun...looks outstanding! Melt that cheese, and we'd have another horse at the head of the pack!

Great job...and I think ths entry is fair warning that we better be on our toes!

Is Keybrdkid and one other the only ones who baked their own bread? I haven't been following that closely. Keybrdkid's entry ROCKED! I didn't get the ethnic part of it. If I missed that I'm sorry, I would have voted for you, dude!

Crock pot meat, the veggie thang, baked bread....yea, baby!

The 'Kid rocked it, and I hope to see him again in future TDs. Good Job!

 

[sicman]

[paulky_2000]

I wish someone had done a lobster roll....or a po-boy!

But I still hold steadfast to TB and that brisket!

 

[sicman]

oooh by the way t.b. if you didnt have that stupid raw onion on your sammy i would have voted for you!


i like it raw ooh baby i like it raw

[JayT]

I gotta stand up for my buddy TB here. You guys are WAY too focused on the couple slices of onion. Did you see that brisket? I don't know if Kreutz' themselves could make it that juicy with bark like that. I mean that stuff looks perfect! C'mon about the onion. You could take it off you know?
