Think Nevada and think casino buffets, but I didn't know until I moved here that there is a holdover from Basque culture in the form of a few restaurants. Basque immigrants settled here in Northern Nevada 150 years ago (I'm in Reno).

Green onion cakes. We have different kinds that we do really well, but the ones in this recipe I've never seen anywhere else.

Mexican Street Corn
In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, peppers, cilantro, red onion, garlic, and chili powder, add corn.

Sounds good. If I wasn’t such a lazy ass, I’d probably try to make it instead of always getting those steamable microwave veggies.

Deep dish pizza and Chicago style hot dogs.
