The funny thing is that in our prior talks, he was trying to get me to lower my prices, then he tasted my food and said price is fine
I will do my best to get pictures of the gig but it will probably take about 10 days to post as I will be heading to Portugal for 8 days upon my return to Dallas from Stillwater
Feel free to discuss those bacon jalepenos in greater depth. I love em but haven't been able to master them yet. I'm stuck in purgatory between soggy bacon/good peppers and crispy bacon/charred as peppers.
Cut stem end off jalapeno and then remove seeds and core (i use a chopstick to accomplish this by just going in circles), rinse with water and then soak in milk overnight (if they were just for me i would avoid this step and bring the heat)
Cream cheese, chives & garlic salt in a mixer to soften and then put in a piping bag, use piping bag to fill jalapenos (putting the filled bag under warm water softens the cheese and makes this easier)
Take a toothpick and put it through the jalapeno about 1 inch from the bottom, impale bacon on I side of the tooth pick and start wrapping up at an angle without overlapping, put another toothpick through the top parallel with the bottom toothpick (this is actually kind of important)
Put jalapeno grill plate on the grill and let it get hot (flat metal plate with 1" diameter holes in it and look for ones where the holes are not super close together), put jalapenos on plate and then close the lid and grill vents almost all the way
Cook them almost like in an oven, if you leave the grill lid open much these bad boys will flare up bigtime from all the bacon grease hitting the coals; when they are done, pull them off
