Review: Big Dawg Fire Department – Chipotle Dip Mix
One of the items that I picked up at the Fiery Foods show was a chile grill. After seeing them show after show, I finally picked one up and have already put it to good use. When I got home, I lined up all my goodies on the bar and started doing a mental inventory of all the items and trying to figure out what I can use with each other. The Besito Caliente mix is already gone (it rocked and I’ll be ordering more soon) and when I was thinking about using the grill, I remembered that I had a packet of Big Dawg’s Seasoning to put to good use.
Ingredients: chipotle flakes, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), and other spices.
The little zip lock baggies come with instructions on how to mix the seasonings, but it’s pretty simple – 2 packages of cream cheese and a package of seasoning, mix and refrigerate for a few hours.
The making of the stuffed peppers is also simple – remove the tops of the peppers and use an apple corer to remove the seed (be careful not to puncture the sides of the peppers). Using a toothpick, put a small hole in the bottom of each pepper and then fill with the cream cheese mixture (but not to the top of the pepper). Leave about 1/2 inch of space so that the filling can expand. Top each pepper with 1/4 a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

The Jalapenos look tasty. I was gonna ask what you were going to stuff them with, you could see them in the background in the Besito Cliente review. I enjoyed a ribeye last night that I had rubbed with Big Dawgs Salvage Cajun Seasoning. It was so good.
Wow that looks good and easy to boot. But Texas bagels? I hope you are having them shipped from NY.

I could be wrong but didn’t Nick move to Houston from NY.Bud(DAH)! I heard the bagels are better in Houston! They have better water in Houston.

First hot dogs, now bagels? Come on Tony, there is no better place in the whole wide world to eat food than in NY. The water might not look clean, but it does wonders for your cooking. On another note Tony, I might be coming to Texas Zestfest afterall. I just have to wait a little, and then find myself someone to share the hotel and maybe the car rental with. Its going to be a quick flight in and out, not much time to check out Texas and all it has to offer.
Those jalapenos look really good…next time Nick try stuffing the Jalapenos with the chipotle mix and sour cream (not as salty) and then bury the whole jalapeno in a shredded cheddar cheese and sausage mixture and completely cover the jalapeno until the mixture is shaped like an egg and none of the jalapeno is showing. Wrap with bacan and grill. There you have the best darn armadillo eggs you have ever tasted.
Usually use a good breakfast sausage like owens or jimmy dean

I go to Cali all the time, I still think NY has the better food! Nothing beats NY bagels, Ny dirty water dogs, or NY pizza! It must be all the crap in the water here in the east! You may not want to look at the water, smell it, or swim in it, but hell it sure does make some damn good grub!
Where do I get one of those chili grills?

Sprouts? I’m not talking about that damn dirty hippie tree hugger food. Aside from our locally grown California cuisine, I’m talking about some of the best steaks, Mexican food and burgers around. I’ll give you the dogs and bagels and pizza. But that’s all junk food.

Come on Buddah, You know Im ginkin ya. The dogs are in Long Branch I think. Max’s. They are called schickhouse, not the way you spelled them. sh*thouse? Sprouts on a pizza horrrible!
I will give you the Mexican and the sushi, but I will put our avocado free burgers and thick juicy steaks against any Cali bistro. Now we all know where comes from, but how it is prepared, NY is the tops in North America. If I want some Wheat Grass and Chick Pea Protein shake and salad, I will come to Cali, but for real American heartland food, I will stick to the east coast. BBQ in Memphis, Brisket in Texas and orange juice in Florida. Thats all I need outside of my region. California burgers. LOL

I’ll give you Mexican food. But BURGERS? No friggin way. There is nothing like a good ol’ NY steak house. Where they dry age the meat, and make the scraps into burgers. Sorry dude, but when I am in Cali, I just want good ‘ol food from NY.
[Comment ID #131634 Quote]
Yah, from the scraps they find on the floor.
[Comment ID #131683 Quote]
Yum, and even them pieces taste better than a Cali Burger.
[Comment ID #131684 Quote]
I was going to say that was what added the extra tang! HA HA HA

Doubtful. Anytime you can see the beef stock out walking in the field next to the restaurant while you’re eating your burger, you know it’s gonna be good.

I’m pretty sure the burger that won the national burger cook-off was from Berkeley. Isn’t that in California. Hummm…..
There is Taylor’s Automatic Refresher in Napa. Grubsteak in San Francisco. Tommy Burger in Los Angeles. And of course there is the In-N-Out Burger chain — only found out here. If I’m ever in NY, I would like to try a Luger Burger.
