The recipe this week caused a lot of strife in our house back in the day. Mexican casserole… if you like seasoned meat, cheese, salsa, and crunchy chips, it would just make sense that you’d like Mexican casserole. Any sane, rational person would find no reasonable argument on that point, right? I’m betting that argument […]

Shirtless Chef makes catfish that will leave you ready for the catwalk
Back in my previous life, I worked as a purchaser for an industrial hydraulic cylinder manufacturer. The company headquarters were in Youngstown, Ohio, and as a result, many of the suppliers I dealt with were from that area.

Shirtless Chef is “holding out for a gyro” in this week’s recipe
When it comes to places on this globe that I find myself drawn to, it’s the Greek Isle of Zakynthos and New Zealand. Drop me off at either of those places, take my phone, never contact me again, and I’ll be all good. Seriously, do not come back for me. It stands to reason then […]
Shirtless Chef shows how to take your mushroom and stuff it
The great thing about taking the time to figure out how to modify traditional foods into healthy dishes is… not only is it better for you, but a lot of the time it ends up tasting better. Take the Philly Cheesesteak for instance. I’m betting most of you have only eaten a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich […]
Shirtless Chef tells how to answer the “Caul Of The Wild”
Cauliflower. It’s amazing how strong the reactions are I get from from people when I mention all the dinners I make with this versatile yet strange alien member of the cabbage family. Of all the foods I bring up, it’s the one people most sneer their nose up at and declare they hate. Then with a […]
