Dude Food
“Harold: I want that.
Kumar: What? A Hot Dog Heaven super chili cheese dog?
Harold: No. I want that feeling. The feeling that comes over a man when he gets exactly what he desires. I need that feeling!
Kumar: Are you saying what I think you’re saying?
Harold: We gotta go to White Castle.
Kumar: YES! YES! I knew you had it in you dude! “[Harold & Kumar go to White Castle]
Did you ever feel like this? Ever get that feeling, that inkling to find the exact thing to satisfy that craving. This feeling can only be understood by somehow who understands the meaning and pleasure that food, particularly dude food has on a man. When you crave the beast of a burger and you eat it; satisfy all your desires through your taste buds in that one moment of orgasmic explosion when you relish those juicy tender chicken wings, and a whole platter of them….and then some more.
With the mantra “grease is good” and the philosophy that taste supersedes all, dude food is not for the faint hearted or for small appetites. Meaty, chunky and sometimes outrageously oversized this type of food is the way to a man’s heart, believe me!
For all those who still don’t understand, (ladies) dude food is all those things you run away from. The salads, extra-virgin olive oil tossed pasta, and that subway roll are the exact things it is not. With the belief in the philosophy of greasier is better, the triple meat pizza with extra cheese, the double decker burger or the crispy fried chicken all pack an arsenal to overwhelm your taste buds and send you to food heaven.
So here are some recipes for dude food that can serve as the perfect food for those football matches and guys night, and on a side note an all access pass to the man’s heart (ladies!):
The Deep Fried KitKat Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Deep Fried Kit Kat Sandwich
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you deep fried Kit-Kat bars and used them as buns for a grilled sandwich? Well, here’s your answer.
This crunchy cheese-filled sandwich is the definition of dude-food. Try this outrageously tasty and (unhealthy) delicacy and feel free to experiment with new ingredients and flavors for the sandwich.
The Macaroni and Cheese Burger Bun
Mac & Cheese Burger.
Sounds complicated? Well, it’s not; Coat the macaroni and cheese buns in bread crumbs and deep fry them. Fill the burger with complementary flavors of deep fried chicken or vegetable cutlet and eat your heart out. Tip: While preparing the Mac & Cheese, cook them a little longer to dry up the extra sauce. Cut the mac and cheese with a round hollow ring and coat and fry instantly after cutting.
Doritos Crusted Chicken Strips
Doritos Crusted Chicken Strips
The best part about this Dude-Food treat is that it is one of the easiest to make. Buy a bag of Doritos and of ready-to-fry Chicken Strips. Crush the Doritos, coat the strips with Doritos and deep fry them. These crispy, succulent and spicy strips will make you crav for more. Tip: Try them with spicy salsa.
Oreo Crusted Deep Fried Ice Cream
Oreo Crusted Deep Fried Ice Cream
Although this sweet monster is a little difficult to make, it more than makes up for the effort needed to make it with the taste. Buy a brick of cookie ice cream, and couple of packets of Oreos. Scoop out the ice cream into balls and dip them in egg wash and then roll them in crushed –up Oreo cookies. Freeze them for about ten minutes, then take them out and recoat them after applying egg wash. Put then back in the freezer till they are solid and can stay intact. Drop them one by one straight into the heated oil for about TEN seconds. Done! Enjoy!
Chicken and Waffle Wings
Waffled Chicken Wings.
Amazingly, Chicken and Waffles go perfectly together. The waffle breaded chicken wings are actually amazingly easy to make. Start off by cooking four “drumette” sections of chicken wings and whip up some waffle batter. Once that is done, simply dunk the wings in the batter and place them in the waffle iron with the ends of the wings sticking out. Drizzle some syrup over them and you’re all set!
Got that craving, the sudden desire to have that burger or those wings.
