Ok, so today the two items I prepared today that stand out most to me are meatball subs and funnel cakes. I had never actually heard of a funnel cake before, and my variation is quite simple to make, but i'll get to the recipe itself in just a little bit. I was discussing deep frying with my sous chef and realizing we had thrown just about everything we could possibly think of into the fryer as of late when we had the wonderful Idea to make funnel cakes. They turned out pretty nicely, I was satisfied anyway. We covered them with maple syrup, chocolate syrup, whipe cream, sugar, all kinds of good stuff. Here is the recipe;
1 store bought pancake mix (the just add water kind)
2 water
Procedure: Mix it up, leave it thick (almost like cookie dough). When your batter is finished procede to ladel it into 350 degree fryer oil and fry until dark brown. Top with whatever, these things rock.
So on to the meatball subs. Who doesn't love these things aside from vegetarians? Marinara, meatballs, cheese, that easy. Keep it simple. Thats why meatball subs rock. For me as a chef it is also a low food cost meal for my staff that takes all of ten minutes to prepare, and most everybody loves. Its kinda hard to go wrong with canned marinara and frozen meatballs, combined with par baked breads. I have seen people mess this up, but its pretty hard.
