peppercorns (baies roses de Bourbon) and tomato concasse. So what’s with the title? Pink peppercorns come from the Brazilian Pepper tree which is in the cashew and mango family (yes, they’re related) – and also includes poison ivy and poison oak. My own take on steak and eggs – grilled skirt steak (marinated in dark […]
Who Wanted to Eat?
So Pho Dai Loi #2 did me proud on Wednesday. Sorry if you missed it. Lots of pork, beef, cha gio and great conversation. We’ll do another one soon (I promise to give more notice this time). I’m thinking Malaysian – perhaps Penang (I know it’s a chain, but they do a pretty good job).
Redneck Gatorade
I held off posting this for a while, but what the hell. You know, I really don’t care for hot dogs that much. As a kid, I despised them. You couldn’t force me to eat a hot dog and I can promise you, it had nothing to do with any of the stereotypical reasons you […]
Pho Fat Make You
Search term of the week: “pho fat make you” Just checking something on the blog and noticed this as one of the search strings used to find eatbufordhighway.com. That’s gonna take a lot of pho… Speaking of which, don’t forget to join us Wednesday, May 28 @ 7PM – Pho Dai Loi #2. See “Who […]

Chicken Jalfrezi
As with any curry, there are a million variations for Jalfrezi (a curry of Pakistani origin). The one consistent factor is onions, tomatoes, peppers and various spices fried in oil. Originally developed as a way to cook leftover meats, the sauce tends to be drier than other curries. I’m not posting a recipe, as a […]
Rounding Up Chickens at the Beach
I ascribe to a theory of infinite distraction – better to obsess over a lot of things rather than just one (even though food is predominant at the moment). To that end, nothing about food… but two big things did happen today: Tom Waits (http://tomwaits.com/) announced July 5 at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta will […]
