8 or 9 years ago on business I was traveling in St. Louis. It was late. The restaurant I wanted to go for dinner was closed that evening and I had an early day the next morning. So, I went to a local grill on a flyer. I don’t even remember the name and never went back. Nothing on the menu appeared appetizing so I settled on the portobello burger. It was the best part of the trip! Continue reading Mushroom Burger with Italian Red Sauce, Pesto, Carmelized Onions, Provolone and Parmesan Cheeses on a Kaiser Roll

I was talking to Dena (one of our legal assistants) yesterday about REMCooks.com and going through some of the photos and recipes (she didn’t know I cooked, much less had a food blog :o).

This dish, however, is not hot. IT IS DELICIOUS! Continue reading Seared Tuna with Clementine Orange and Chipotle Miso Sauce
