I went to LM some years ago while Yannick Aleno was there - one of the best meals ever. They did a crown of squab made with a savory sugar shell that I dream of - and recreate once on a while at home when feeling a little flush!

This is not necessarily accurate.

 

Crispy corn tortillas, typically rolled - are in fact native to Mexico.  Known often as taquitos dorados or flautas.  They are also, delicious!

 

Agreed on the yellow cheese hogwash!

 

 

 Yes right the  taquito/flauta I get. My issue was with the "hard shell Nort Americano thing which is much beloved up here - see the iconic Toto s Many opinions https://www.eater.com/2017/8/10/16124756/titos-tacos-los-angeles-video

Supper was a was a little bit of this and that.  Fresh bread with smoked  turkey breast and/or left over buffalo turkey drumettes.  Augmented with very thin slices of  sweet potato cheesecake ( at breakfast, lunch and dinner!)

The breast was dry brined for 24 hours and cooked on a gas grill with a Smokai smoke generator.  12# brisket on the weber being smoked with pecan.

Drumettes (from two 16# turkeys)  cooked SV for 14 hrs. @ 131F then fried.  The bacon wrapped tenderloin's were inhaled to rave reviews!

I confess a shameful truth: I always loved the Salisbury steaks from the cafeteria at both high school and college, and try to incorporate them into my life from time to time. Last night was such an occasion. They improve each time I try, but have not yet achieved the status I seek.

 Why shameful? Nothing wrong with a good Salisbury steak. I still have fond memories of this from the summer.

@HungryChris  

 

did your SS have mushroom gravy ?

 

that's a big plus

 

Im going to have to make some this weekend

 

with ground turkey 

I felt compelled to add mushrooms to the gravy. It seems, somehow incomplete without them, although I do not remember them in the gravy from either cafeteria.

My son also loved cafeteria Salisbury steak and I give it a try once in a while. Have not yet quite nailed it either. 

I am pretty well convinced  that French onion soup and Worcestershire sauce are big contributors to the flavor, but am becoming increasingly convinced that languishing for an hour or more in a hotel pan in the steam table plays a big roll in imparting that illusive flavor and tenderness to the finished product. I think I will move my efforts from a covered fry pan to the slow cooker and see how that works.

Well now I am confused (an increasingly common state). Is Salisbury steak ground beef or is it cube steak?

It was ground beef mixed with egg, spices, French onion soup and bread crumbs, browned on a flat top, then simmered in a gravy like sauce that was spiked with Worcestershire sauce and served with mashed potatoes and an over cooked vegetable (that was probably canned). The combination of the meat, gravy and mashed potatos was what spoke to me. Of course, in high school, I was a growing lad and pretty much everything spoke to me back then.

Love it. I suspect you could well be right.

 I have always understood it to be based on ground beef.

Interesting....my great grandmother's cook book  that she wrote out for my grandmother calls for thinly sliced round steak pounded with some flour then cooked in fat.  Add a cup of water and a small can of tomato, salt and pepper.  Cover and cook slowly for 1 1,2 - 2 hours.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
