  1. If it is to be my favorite/best roast chicken ever, mix some herbes de provence, fleur de sel (sea salt from the Camargue region of France), roasted garlic puree, fresh cracked pepper and some good olive oil, a squeeze or two of lemon or you can put the lemons inside or whatever...smear this paste under the skin and inside the cavity, and then slide some shaved truffles (be generous, this is not cost control cooking!! ) under the skin in different spots. Smear the rest of the paste on the bird. Now roast it... the perfume it will scent your house with will make you climb the walls. I usually roast it on some mirepoix, leave it large or it won't be carmelized it will be burnt. OOOh, then take that bad bird out when it's done. Move it to a sheet pan or other upside down to let the juices run into the breast. Drain some of the fat out of the roasting pan, leaving the juices and plaque. Heat the pan up on one or two burners...if it's big. When it starts to sizzle. Sift a little flour over it, and scrape it a little with a wooden spoon. Deglaze with some brandy or white wine or whatever...watch those eyebrows. Cook off alcohol, add some stock, simmer, reduce, strain. If your chicken has had sufficient time to rest, you can cut the breasts and quarters off the carcass and then hack the carcass up with a cleaver and throw that in you roasting pan sauce. Simmering it with the bones in it will give a more chicken-y flavor. Just don't cut into that joker too soon or the juices will all go bye bye. MMM chicken heaven.
  2. How about Kona, Hawaii? Or General Coffee State Park in Georgia? Coffee Creek, Montana! Or you can munch on these... North Bibb, AL Vidalia, GA Peach Springs and Tombstone, AZ Turkey Creek, LA Plum Island and Little Cranberry Island, ME Coconut Grove, CA Savoy, VT Mesquite and Corona NM Cherry Plain State Park, NY and OLEAN, NY Mayo, FL Yam Hill and Strawberry Mountain in OR There's also Baltimore, MD of the famous cake(S), and Waldorf, MD. Yeah, Yeah I know that the salad got its name from the hotel. Internationally speaking, I'm sure there's a ton but the Paris-Brest comes to mind. This cream filled yum yum got its name because it was served on the trains that ran between those two cities.
