Day 34: Wednesday Nov 21 ~ Bonzai Burger and Steak Fries

~ Bonzai Burger and Steak Fries ~

I know...tomorrow's the big day so we should eat light tonight, right? Well, it's also the end of work for a few days and that calls for a celebration. I didn't feel like doing anything elaborate, and since our typical past celebration might have been to go out to dinner...say at Red Robin...thought we'd stick to our guns, beat the system, and give this a try. :)

The Bonzai Burger is Jesse's favorite burger at Red Robin. A while ago, a friend with a 'real' blog posted a great review/recipe: (http://thegoodthedadandthebaby.com/?p=3470).

We used Boca burgers, and skipped the cheese and mayonnaise, but rest of recipe was the same.

Jesse's REAL love there is not the burgers, or even the bottomless steak fries, but instead...the seasoning. If the attentive servers left us alone too long, I'm sure we'd have a stockpile of it at home. But...since they don't, and we don't - I went on the search for a recipe! I did find one, however I didn't find the dried tomato soup it calls for - so, we'll just be using the good ole' Lawry's seasoned salt tonight.

  1. I didn't know they had special seasoning, I'll have to look into that. And the steak fries too!

    1. Oh yeah, the seasoning's the thing - it's really close to regular seasoned salt, but just a little something different to it - probably that mysterious dried tomato soup!
      And the steak fries - their directions are a little complicated I think. Today I actually ended up just cutting potatoes, put them on parchment on a cookie sheet, seasoned salt, 350 for 30 minutes, flip half-way. done. :)
      Great chatting with you :)
