As an Italian-American (and Hungarian, and Irish, and Native, and others - I got layers, guys) I have had many an Italian Sandwich.
In fact, growing up, my mom would make a big to-do on “special” sandwich nights. We would go to the local market deli counter (I’m looking at you, Eurofresh) - and it was always PACKED. We’d grab our ticket number and wait for what seemed like HOURS (it was probably like 10 minutes) to get the most magical items to a child apart from sugary cereals: salami, mortadella, provolone, and, my favorite, capicola (or what my mother would lovingly call coppa).

I do not normally cook chicken. I'm not a big meat, gal (let me holla at you, pasta & cheese) but when I do cook meat, it's usually of the red variety: sausage (to throw into pasta), ground beef (to turn into chili and pour over pasta), or bacon (to. Throw. Into. Pasta.)

Bottomless. Tacos.
Seriously, every Tuesday, for $20, you can opt in for bottomless tacos and grab any server walking by with trays on trays on trays of tacos.

I decided to make this the morning after hosting 4 former fraternity brothers of my husband over for drinks (aka when I made the Shake & Bake Chicken & Crispy-Coated Oven-Roasted Sweet Potato Fries). We proceeded to do a midnight taco run, experience the wine that talks to you, and stay up until 4am. I had to work the next day - these are the decisions I make in my life.

I did some serious meal prep to prepare for this: I mixed the marinade & the shaky-bready goodness, chopped the potato wedges, and made the hot honey the night before. I then asked my husband to please, please, please, throw the marinade in with the chicken when he gets home from work (at 4) the next day, so that it would be ready for me to shake when I got home from work (at 8). WHO THOUGHT AHEAD!?!? This gal.

I will say that prep was fast and easy. I rarely work with mint - not a mojito gal - so that was new and a bit odd. I kept expecting the end result to taste like a stick of gum, not the savory goodness of the ricotta and crispy shallots.

Over the years, I have noticed that some things that I do regularly in my cooking are not universal. I have assembled my holy grail of cooking tips that I swear by. NOTE: This list is not exhaustive and I will continue to update this list as I see necessary.

The inside of The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club is huge, cavernous even. With several courts tucked on the right and left sides of the room, other games like giant connect four in the middle, and the bar and booths scanning the back wall.

There is so much you can DO with tacos that the possibilities are endless. The only question remains, which are the best? Over the course of 2016, fellow taco connoisseur and ride-or-die babe, Sara Seibt, and I decided to celebrate Taco Tuesday every single Tuesday. We tried 52 different places exactly and have compiled for you what we thought were the very best the city has to offer.

“You are hesitant. I can feel it from here.” So starts Chrissy Teigen’s commentary on this recipe. And she was right, I was. I had never made this recipe before today because it sounded…. unappealing? However, I had hot dogs leftover from a barbecue that I did not want to go bad so, into the void I went.

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love a good dive bar. Cheap prices, good food, regular people, ALL. MY. THING. I will take it over something trendy almost any day and I can say that the only problem I have with Loncar's is that it is no where near my apartment

I was STARVING by the time I got to La Chilangueada with fellow taco connoisseur and ride or die babe, Sara Seibt. I was stoked for some slider tacos to make my dreams come true. La Chilangueda a small sit-down place where I got to use my very rusty and embarrassing Spanish. We were served quickly.

First off, El Taco Veloz is adorable. And I mean that in the best way. And I would think it was just as adorable if it wasn't also very close to where I live. It's a sit down place that is very affordable (extremely so) and cash only.

The place is a small and you order at the counter. We got a slew of tacos, some miso soup, and some dumplings because why the hell not? (Disclaimer, miso soup and dumplings will not affect taco score and will only make me happy)

I don't have a whole lot to say about Carniceria Aguascalientes - not for bad reasons - I mean it in the best way. It 100% fills your expectations. It's a small restaurant attached to a small grocery store. We had our pick of tables and it was nice that you could order alcohol, because let me tell you how much I needed a margarita that day.
