mjp28 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 1 hour ago, flyingfooldoug said: A true Italian sandwich is very popular in upstate NY... Binghamton area to be specific. Spiedies! Little marinated (Italian dressing) chunks of meat (any) grilled on a skewer and loaded onto a hunk of Italian bread. Absolutely delicious ! If you're an Italian in the Mahoning valley.....shame on you for not knowing. The best Italian restaurants in the world are here but none serve spiedies (speedys). Easy to Google, easy to make. And there is a whole 3 day Spiedies and Balloons festival each year. We were looking at the Chicago style steak sandwich although there are many some are heavy steak and mushrooms, some with other seasonings and of course the Philly steaks, one of my favorites. But we are going to shop for the ingredients this week for the Chicago style, much more involved than most steak sandwiches , looks good! From Guy Fieri's recipe pretty much the classic Chicago Italian. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/chicago-italian-beef-sandwich-recipe-1910967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Another slow cooked beef sandwich from the Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond, fewer ingredients but really good IF you have the time NOTE: THESE ARE NOT THE QUICK AND EASY PHILLY STYLE ROAST BEEF! DRIP BEEF SANDWICH ...... Ingredients One 4-pound chuck roast Salt and black pepper 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons canola oil 2 cups beef broth 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary One 16-ounce jar pepperoncini, juice and all 2 yellow onions, sliced 10 to 12 toasted, buttered deli rolls ADD CHECKED ITEMS TO GROCERY LIST Directions Watch how to make this recipe. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and the canola oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Sear both sides of the chuck roast until very browned, about 5 minutes in all. Pour in the beef broth and 1 cup water. Add the rosemary, and then pour in the pepperoncini with their juices. Now cover the pot and simmer until the meat is tender and falling apart, 4 to 5 hours. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onions and saute until light golden brown. Set aside. Remove the roast from the pot and shred the meat completely using two forks. Return the meat to the cooking liquid and keep warm. To serve, slice wedges out of the tops of the deli rolls. Heap a generous portion of meat on each roll, and then spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat. Top with a few peppers from the pot and plenty of caramelized onions. Top the sandwiches with the wedges of roll and serve to a roomful of ravenous guests. You¿ll win friends and influence people.Cook's Note...For a variation, lay thinly sliced cheese on top of the meat before adding the peppers and onions. Serve with dishes of the cooking liquid on the side for dipping if desired. Show: The Pioneer Woman Episode: Make Ahead Marvels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Now to round out the great GAMEDAY SANDWICHES here's one I actually saw on Guy Fieri's Diners & Dives TV show and is similar and definitely quicker, a true Philly Steak Sandwich like I've made before. https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/episodes/grabbin-a-sandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some regional areas like Youngstown use green peppers, onions, provolone (my favorite) but areas like Philadelphia use onions and American cheese or a cheese wiz like product. Most all use generous amounts of salt, some black pepper. I guess it's what you like if you're making them at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make for a more exciting winter and a true test of combined team skills. Hey, watching half pipe was like those who watch NASCAR to see the wrecks. Got to see two spectacular crashes. The top of the pipe is pretty much solid ice, and a couple guys hit it coming down from 20 feet in the air. Thought one of them was a broken leg or busted ACL for sure. Those guys are crazy.

mjp28 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 National Pig Day is an event held annually on March 1 in the United States to celebrate the pig. The holiday celebration was started in 1972 by sisters Ellen Stanley, a teacher in Lubbock, Texas, and Mary Lynne Rave of Beaufort, North Carolina. According to Rave the purpose of National Pig Day is "to accord the pig its rightful, though generally unrecognized, place as one of man's most intellectual and domesticated animals] The holiday is most often celebrated in the Midwest....... And they're dee-lish especially while throwing around or watching the ol' pigskin on TV. Any special pig recipes out there? I see we have one more pack of city chicken in the freezer......neither city nor chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably are some good pizzas just about everywhere at least up in the Northern USA not so much down south.....but I don't travel down there now. I've had some lousy pizzas in Florida and Texas even from joints named Youngstown Pizza. The northern soils, temperature, tradition etc. make a difference. Now great pizza NE OHIO can challenge just about anywhere but I've had some great pizza in Chicago, never made it to NYC. Even some other GAMEDAY FOODS like sandwiches, wraps, chilis, perogies and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcam222 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Jalapeños really vary in hotness. Different strains go from damn near mild to pretty hot. Once you deseed and cook they lose quite a bit of the fire. When I make these even the people who aren't chili heads devour them. Sometimes I stuff the pepper with sausage and cheese and then bacon wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
