Creole Succotash from 'Treme'

The succotash I grew up eating was a simple side dish of lima beans, corn, onion, black pepper, and a big hunk of butter. But despite my familiarity with the basic version, I am open to different interpretations of the dish (as long as it still contains butter, corn, and limas, of course). This creole succotash from the Treme cookbook is kind of like a tricked out version of the classic.

3-Day Potato Salad inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants — Binging With Babish

It's rare that a minor detail in a long-running series will take on a strange, unintended new life as a meme. Jean-Luc Picard face-palming in Star Trek TNG: Deja Q. Some kid eating tide pods. Oliver Platt's occasional role on The West Wing. Or, in the case of Spongebob Squarepants, a moment from

Fried Shiitake Po' Boys With New Orleans-Style Remoulade

We stuff this vegetarian twist on the iconic New Orleans sandwich with crispy, juicy, cornmeal-breaded shiitakes to substitute for the traditional fried seafood. A super-tangy remoulade sauce cuts through fat and inhibitions alike, getting you into the true, oops-one-too-many New Orleans spirit.

Cuban Fritas (Seasoned Cheeseburgers With Shoestring Potatoes and Spicy Sauce)

The frita is a classic regional American burger created by Cuban immigrants in South Florida. While the standard is a thin, griddled patty with a spiced ketchup-based sauce, my take on it is a slightly larger version designed for the backyard grill with a boldly seasoned pork and beef patty, a creamier sauce, and more vegetables. The crisp shoestring potatoes that are the hallmark of a traditional frita remain the same.
