Ok someone said to me after looking through some of my recipes “don’t you ever eat anything normal” well I do and I enjoy all kinds of food from sushi, to burgers but you can see a lot of those recipes in most places. I am just making food that I think may be a little different and perhaps something new that you might try and find delicious. Here is one of my favorite comfort food dishes that is just amazing in its taste and crunch. It like upscale fried chicken. Here we go , this one not for the diet crowd.
