As I mentioned in the dinner thread, we stopped at the casino on the way home for a quick dinner. Was surprised at the new items they had on the lunch menu they are trying out to see how they go over.
Three of them are things I'm going to have to play with, so I stole (with permission
) the menu to work on.
- Double Dare Burger Dip: "Our 1/2 lb. Angus burger topped with melted pepper jack cheese, sliced jalapeno & pico do gallo on an Alpine roll with Bloody Mary au jus for dipping."
Roy had this one and it was a regular beef au jus with bloody mary mix added. I'm thinking the one Bill & Jane make would be better in the 'jus' than the one we make. But, will try both. He loved it. And it was tasty.
- Taco Salad Wrap: Ground beef, black olives, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, crisp Frito chips - all tossed in a French dressing in an garlic-herb wrap."
In other words, a Taco salad in a wrap - it was delicious! And the corn chips (just a few) added such a surprise crunch! It was served warm, but not hot enough for the cheese to melt - just perfect.
This one, I really wanted to order just to see how it was put together, but will have to wait for another visit....
- Memphis Sweet Potato Nachos: "We start with crisp sweet potato waffle fries, add a generous layer of slow roasted pulled pork, bourbon barbecue sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, finished with diced fresh tomatoes & slices of jalapenos."
Oh, there was one more that sounded fun - "crab stuffed butterflied shrimp, wrapped in bacon - deep fried and topped with Hollandaise sauce........."
I'll probably gain 20 lbs. if I play with all of these.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
