    This was the very first post in the GAMEDAY foods thread in 2017 on a BROWNS bye week so the same question are any of you doing anything special for the weekend college or professional football games?

    And then there's the next BROWNS game coming up in week 8 at 4:25 pm in New England after that, should be interesting to see the BROWNS after an extra week off and a few key players back.

    GO BROWNS and eat well!

    Went to placing of the ashes for daughter in law's grandpa Mickey, WW II vet and oil field roughneck & rig foreman all his life. Great guy whom we celebrated by placing those ashes alongside his son's who died of cancer at age 44 just a few years ago. As his other son placed the ashes in with his brother's he laughed and said, "Damn, they're arguing again already!" ?

    Extended family enjoyed a beautiful clear blue sky, t-shirts & shorts weather and good potluck eats afterwards with just about every dish you could think of from country raised folks. Deviled eggs, meatballs in BB sauces, German chocolate cake, every chip & dip, Shiner Bock & Cokes/Sprite, chicken salad and tuna salad sandwiches and plenty of varied fruits on toothpicks with fine sour cream & brown sugar dip. Great day for celebration of a great life from the Greatest Generation.??

    Here's a great snack or side dish for a GAMEDAY get-together and one of my favorites FRIED GREEN TOMATOES.

    FRIED GREEN TOMATOES - Michael's grandmother made the best Fried Green Tomatoes we'll see how this recipe compares to them.

     

    World’s Best Recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes ?

     
    4 large green tomatoes
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup milk
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup cornmeal
    1/2 cup bread crumbs
    2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 quart vegetable oil for frying
     
    How to make it :
     
    Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
    Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
    In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

    That is a very basic recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes some use a few other additions like a dash of hot pepper sauce.  Sometimes I would use the old standard Frank's Red Hot Sauce.  You probably could also use Tabasco or others to taste.   Any other recipes out there?

    I just love them my grandmother's way but she never used a written recipe on anything!  A true scratch cook best I've ever eaten.     🙂

    Green beans with bacon is a always nice start with your favorite cole slaw and some good looking meat!  

    .......Oh God the place I'm in now has a somewhat "limited menu" compared to the last two great ones  I was in.  I see carryout real soon!

    I'll be in Jersey next weekend, watching the Browns game with my cousin (who is originally from Ohio)...

    I'll have to take some pics of the Jersey fare I eat... like a Dutch Baby (breakfast) or some pizza (the pizza joint in Brooklyn we usually go to - Grimaldi's - has opened a restaurant in North Jersey) for my boy mjp.. 

    I was in Jersey a few years back and was surprised to see Jersey Mike’s was actually called “Jersey Mike’s”. Why not just Mike’s? That would be like calling Kentucky Fried Chicken “Kentucky Fried Chicken” in Kentucky.

    Also some great pizza in Hoboken. Big slices. Can’t remember the name of the place but all kindsa famous people pics on the wall. James Gandolfini in there l recall.

    I tried this burger recipe last night with good results. Added some onion powder, garlic powder and Montreal steak seasoning in the mix and made for some great gameday burgers.

    Oh yes!   The main difference between just-a-burger and a real good burger is their step #1:

    Sink your teeth into a delicious restaurant-style, hamburger recipe made from lean beef. Skip the prepackaged patties and take the extra time to craft up your own, and that little extra effort will be worth it. To make cheeseburgers, about 1 minute before burgers are done, top with sliced cheese; continue cooking until cheese begins to melt.

    Almost every time we start with ground beef and go from there including using an egg or two as a necessary binder.  It just screams GAMEDAY or anyday.

    .......oh edit add, we sometimes use different combinations of beef and maybe pork and chicken in other various dishes.

    Of all the foods there are a good burger tops my list. I’ve found that the number one thing to get a perfect burger is using fresh ground 80/20 beef. No pink slime and other crap in it.

    The leaner the meat the harder it is to not overcook it. Frankly the fat in a burger is what gives it that good greasy burger deliciousness, but at the same time has the “eww fat” thing. I’m a Jack Sprat type myself so l like a really lean meat, so l gotta do something with the meat to add moisture back. Minced onion helps. Egg too. Any other suggestions?

    When we do lean turkey burgers I mix in shredded zucchini for moisture along with spices. Sounds weird but tastes good.

    That sounds fantastic! What is your rough ratio of ground meat to shredded zucchini?
