Hatteras Style Clam Chowder
This is 'Hatteras style.' I work in a restaurant near the North Carolina coast and make this two times a week. I have scaled down the batch for home use. It is very simple. You can also use the bacon grease to saute the vegetables in.
South Georgia Biscuits
These are traditional hand-formed South Georgia biscuits as made by my family for generations. Unlike most recipes, these biscuits are formed entirely by hand, not rolled and cut. Once you master the technique, you can make them very quickly and will find the texture and appearance to be much better than rolled biscuits.
Pork Chops Al Pastor
These pork chops al pastor are inspired by my favorite taco. Smoky, spicy, tender, and juicy, the chili marinade also serves as a sauce, with a cold, bracing fresh pineapple salsa on the side. They are double-thick, so each one will make 2 servings.
