![]() ![]() ![]() I particularly love beers from the nearby Westbrook Brewing. And of course, like many of the establishments we visited in Charleston, XBB has a great drink menu. Definitely hit the spot on a gorgeous winter day in Charleston. This fresh veggie dish had delicious house made paratha bread (Indiana flatbread) and was topped with fried falafel balls. The crispy chicken on the Som Tum Chicken dish was delicious and any heat I was missing with the Okonomiyaki was more than made up for with the spicy papaya salad. If I’m being nitpicky I would have liked a little more heat, but it was a great way to kick off lunch.įor entrees we split a Som Tum Chicken (black bean fried chicken with rice and spicy papaya salad) and a Paratha (Thai green curry served with veggies and paratha bread). This colorful dish definitely has a lot going on but the flavors work so well together. The pancake is topped with chili sauce and Japanese mayonnaise, plus a bright sprinkling of furikake seasoning, and in our case, two pieces of pork belly. For starters we ordered their famous Okonomiyaki ($8), a vegetable pancake made from shredded cabbage, kale, carrots, and scallion. It was 65 degrees outside in mid January (again, I love the South) so we decided to eat outside on one of the six picnic tables at XBB. We visited XBB for lunch on our last day in town. The name is a bit of a misnomer because sadly, they do not serve any biscuits. It’s a pretty cool spot and best of all, they serve fantastic food. Xiao Bao Biscuit began as a food truck started by the husband and wife team of Josh Walker and Duolan Li and has grown into a full service restaurant located on the north side of town in a converted gas station. Yes, somehow an Asian restaurant tops our list of places to try in Charleston. After about 90 seconds of Googling ( really, just read this), it was obvious that our nice dinner was getting scrapped and we were eating these burgers. ![]() ![]() But everyone says that, so I had to do some research of my own. I asked our waitress about the burger and she said they were famous for them. I could eat it by the spoonful.Īs we sat at the bar, we saw an inordinate amount of burgers go by. The bacon jam has such an incredibly powerful bacon flavor to it. This rendition, covered in cheese and studded with bacon jam, was one of the best bites I’ve had all year. Benne crackers are thin, wafer-like crackers made with sesame seeds that are native to the south. While enjoying our cocktails, we tried an order of the pimento cheese and Benton’s bacon jam on benne crackers. It was a really well balanced drink and even won over Cate despite her insistence that she doesn’t like rum. Cate ordered the Charleston Light Dragoon’s Punch (California brandy, Jamaican rum, peach brandy, black tea, lemon juice, raw sugar). I loved the smokiness from the apple juice and it definitely had some heat to it. I had the Fire in the Orchard, Husk’s take on an Old Fashioned made with Rye whiskey, smoked apple juice, Cointreau, brandy, bitters, pickled jalapeno and a sugar cube. We started with some fantastic cocktails. Everything from the exposed brick walls to the great craft beer menu to the handle-bar mustached bartenders told me that this was the place to be in Charleston. Cate and I arrived at Husk a little early for our reservation and were somehow able to score one of the few tables in the first floor of the bar building. I wish I had more to say about Husk restaurant, but unfortunately The Bar at Husk (a separate building) happens to be right next-door. It won Best New Restaurant honors from Bon Appetit magazine in 2011 and the menu includes many innovative twists on Southern Classics. Husk is one of the most well regarded fine dining options in Charleston and is located in an old country house in the middle of downtown. Today, a quick look at Husk (actually, the Bar at Husk) and Xiao Bao Biscuit. They have an incredible amount of great restaurants in a relatively small area. If I wasn’t 90% sure all of those things were bad for you I’d never eat anything else.Ĭharleston certainly excels at traditional southern food, but there’s more to their food scene than just shrimp and grits. Biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, bacon everywhere – and tons of beer and bourbon to wash it down. As a Northerner you won’t hear me say this too often, but man, the South really knows how to eat. A few weeks back, Cate and I escaped snowy New York City for a weekend trip to one of the South’s culinary hotbeds. Here are two of our favorite meals in Charleston – Husk and Xiao Bao Biscuit.įriday Dinner Series is back with a look at two of our favorite spots in Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston, South Carolina is a charming southern town full of amazing food. ![]()

To do so, select only the dictionary document (or multiple dictionary documents) that you wish to include and select Create model. You can train a model using only dictionary data.

Press the knife into the soft flesh just before the head and cut up to the bone.Since the fish is cooked, they come away easily. It’s really easy - and I think, much easier than when the fish is raw. In the video above, we show you how to fillet your trout once it has finished baking. I’ve shared a temperature and cooking time in the recipe below. Use our tips for checking for doneness as a guide.īy the way, you could put the trout packets on a grill instead. The bake time will be longer if you have a larger variety of fish, like steelhead trout. In our recipe below, we call for small to medium rainbow trout and find that they take between 10 and 15 minutes. The baking time depends on how large your fish is.

Whether you prefer to grill or smoke your fish, Hey Grill Hey has some delicious recipes for you to try: More BBQ Fish Recipesįish and BBQ were made for each other. ![]() I always recommend investing in a sturdy meat thermometer so you don’t have to play the guessing game of “Is my food done yet?” Cooking to temperature is always going to be more accurate than cooking to time. Make sure to smoke trout until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees F and the meat of your fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This variation in time greatly depends on the thickness of your trout fillets. It will take anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours to fully smoke trout. Experiment and determine how you like to enjoy eating your smoked trout. With cream cheese on top of a cracker or crusty bread. It can be flaked and eaten with capers, lemons and red onion on a bagel. You can eat it hot off the grill, or you can allow it to cool and serve it with a variety of accouterments. This trout can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. At this point, your trout should be cooked throughout and should flake easily. Smoke the trout fillets until your trout reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Once your smoker is preheated, remove the fillets from the brine. Preheat your smoker (I prefer to use a pellet smoker, but this recipe works for whatever smoker you have on your patio) to 180 degrees F. Once your trout has finished brining, it’s ready to smoke. Eat warm with your favorite sides or serve chilled as an appetizer. Smoke. Mild smoke at low temperatures to cook and flavor the trout.A simple salt and sugar liquid to add flavor and moisture. Start to finish, smoking trout is as easy as 1-2-3. If you’ve got a thicker filet of steelhead trout, brine for 30-40 minutes. If you’ve got thinner filets of brook or lake trout, brine for 15 minutes. Place the trout in the brine and set it in the refrigerator. You can add in aromatics or flavor in the form of fresh herbs (dill is a favorite) or fresh garlic and onions. I use a simple brine recipe of 2 cups water, 1 Tablespoon Kosher salt (coarse grain) and 1 Tablespoon brown sugar. I find the sugar, salt, and smoke work well together to enhance the flavor of the trout without being overpowering. I like to keep my brine simple and add in some brown sugar for a rich, sweet element. Smoked Trout Brineįirst step in smoking fish (after catching or buying the trout, of course) is brining! This recipe calls for a wet brine of water, brown sugar, and kosher salt. I have so much admiration for those of you who catch your own food! And since you put in all that effort to catch the fish in the first place, let’s make sure it’s cooked well too. While I’ve rarely smoked my own fresh caught lake trout, I understand how amazing it can be to catch a fish, prep it, smoke it, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. My whole goal with this recipe was to make a smoked trout lover out of Todd. I didn’t fish a lot growing up but my husband, Todd, grew up fishing and his favorite way to enjoy brook or lake trout was sauteed in a pan with a lot of butter. Honest moment here: I’m not a big fisher. You can enjoy this trout in so many ways! So whether you’re a fishing enthusiast looking to cook your fresh catch, or you prefer buying your fish at the store, this recipe will help you smoke it to perfection! The trout stays moist thanks to a simple brine and takes on an amazing amount of smoke flavor. This Smoked Trout is a delicious way to cook fresh trout. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many countries have imposed a ban on the website for illegally uploading cartoons.

Overall, worth it on a sale.I am a big fan of the first Ziggurat of 10 years ago, and Ziggurat 2 is even better! Extremely well polished in all aspects. If you're looking for FPS Binding of Isaac, this ain't it. If you go in to this treating it as something with a finite goal, you'll have a good time. It still didn't hit the roguelite "just one more run" feeling, and I found myself getting fatigued after playing about 1-1.5h at a time, but I can also appreciate that not every game has to be an infinitely engrossing timesink. That being said, I enjoyed my time going through the campaign. The unlocked perks are also a mixed bag, with some of them serving just to dilute the pool with modifiers that are very similar to what's present from the get-go. Between new characters, weapons, and perks, there's a lot of stuff you aren't going to see unless you do some serious grinding, and getting to start with the new staff that fires 8 fire projectiles at a time instead of 2 really only offers so much variety as you're on your journey to unlock more stuff. Unfortunately, that brings me to another criticism: this game has a -ton- of stuff to unlock, but the pace still feels just a little too slow. Meta progression is there and quite powerful, with trees focused on your overall adventuring (+HP, +% XP, pickups are stronger), ammo pool, and damage. Additionally, having an unskippable cutscene for each boss encounter gets old pretty fast. Shops, weapon upgrade stations, and curse rooms are there too, but not necessarily all guaranteed on each floor.īosses felt like a weak point to me personally, with each of them having a built-in invulnerability phase on top of some of them having "boss armor" to artificially reduce your DPS. Fortunately the shooting gameplay is fun, but some more variety in the rooms would have been appreciated. 90% of the time, this is "kill all the enemies" with an occasional twist (more elites, smaller enemies, lights turned off), the remaining 10% it's "kill all the enemies but also you have to stand near 3-5 pylons first" or similar. Layered on top of that is the roguelite classic "go from one room to the next and look for the key to get to the boss for the next floor". The moment-to-moment gameplay is relatively standard boomer shooter circle strafing and hopping around while firing until everything's dead, with added pressure of disappearing pickups (health, ammo, XP) to add some risk to the rewards. There are a good amount of characters who have gimmicks which favor one particular category of weapon, but you can always build to be more of a generalist no matter who you're playing. The different weapon types offer some good variety, you have Spells / Staves / Alchemy (Steampunky guns and grenades) which each have their own benefits and downsides. Still feels very much like Hexen / Heretic: The Roguelite, but with a much more colorful palette this time around. A good example of a developer learning how to build on their first game without changing so much that their game loses its identity. ![]() ![]() ![]()
