Chef Dave’s Corner

Grilled food is not only healthy, but in my opinion adds a nice flavor to food. The great debate is rather or not charcoal is better than gas. Respond to this post and let Chef Dave know what you prefer and why?

I have been meaning to post this for a while. I was born and raised in Florida. Most people when going to Florida think seafood. In Lake Worth, Florida there is a Chinese restaurant that I compare all other Chinese restaurants to. The name Oriental Express not only does it have an awesome sushi bar, but the food is First Class! If in Lake Worth don’t forget to give this place a Chef Dave Shout Out…

My family and I were invited over to a friend?s home for dinner tonight and as an appetizer we were served Oklahoma Caviar. Not only was it good, but the name I think is kind of funny.

Serves: 6

1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon jalapeno, chopped fine
1 can low sodium black eyes peas, drained and rinsed
1 can white hominy, drianed

Refrigerate and serve.

Note: This is great as a side dish or served as an appetizer with fresh cut veggies.
