TV-tastic evening tonight. It's the finale of Top Chef Masters and the first episode of Top Chef: Vegas. To mark the occasion, we made Rick Bayless' queso fundido burgers. It's one of those recipes that's super easy if you have a restaurant full of prepped ingredients lying around. For home use, there is a bit of prep (fry chorizo, roast poblano, grill onion) and that's w/o making the guac that's supposed to be a side. I shortcut that one and bought some guac at the store. But it's a damn good burger, topped with chorizo sandwiched between two slices of cheese. The grilled onions were a great touch. But, even tho I stayed close to the recommened cooking times (for rare), the burgers ended up closer to well done. Which is a sad fate to befall an otherwise tasty burger.

Completely unrelated but this song's been running thru my head for a day or two now so I thought I'd share.
