Just had stingray for the first time ever.

Really does taste like chicken.

I agree with Scott. Love an Italian beef sandwich. I've never had Portillo's, but I live in Jay's Beef delivery territory. They'll bring a dipped sandwich to my door and I'll crush it leaned over the sink like its nothing.

You're up there in Chicagoland, definitely try Portillos next time... I swear you wont be disappointed

And I nearly fell outta my chair when I seen their prices, krazy low for a big city, the regular size beef is $5.69... a big mac is almost that much by itself
[Reply]

I'm going to do that. For some reason I thought that Portillo's in the city was way far from me, but I pulled it up on the map and its not as far as I thought. Kind of close to my wifes work actually, I may see if she wants to meet there for lunch. I've had their dog, but never the beef sandwich.

I need a good way to make panade without a food processor. Whisking by hand just leads to a clumpy mess. Ideas?
[Reply]

Your hands or a fork.
[Reply]

Yeah, I've tried those. The recipe calls for breadcrumbs and heavy cream, soaked for 10 minutes. I think the ratio is too little on the cream side.
[Reply]

Once it soaks, you should be able to just give it a stir. What's the problem, why are you thinking you need a processor? I don't think I've ever used a processor for a panade.
[Reply]

Yes, which is why I suspect that the liquid to crumb ratio is off. Just a clumpy mess.
[Reply]

Most of the panades I've made are pretty clumpy. Does it seem overly dry or wet? I think you're probably fine.
[Reply]

And without a doubt that sandwich was exponentially better than the Big Mac.

I have no idea what the hell that is, but it looks fantastic
