A Night of Delicious Flavor

"Rally the horses, Jules. We're about to crack your case like an egg. And then we can make omelets with shallots.... and justice."

Yesterday was a day of firsts for many.

It was the first time I had ever been to J Dawgs. For those of you outside of Utah, J Dawgs is a hotdog place that is inexpensive and insanely delicious. They have this special sauce they put on the hotdogs that definitely makes the experience.

It was also the first time my roommates and some friends were going to experience the joy that is the television show PSYCH starring James Roday and Dule Hill. The show follows Shawn Spencer, a man with a photographic memory, and his best friend Burton "Gus" Guster as they pretend and convince all that Shawn is a psychic as they solve cases for the Santa Barbara Police Department. It's hilariously clever and one of the best shows on TV.

On a particular episode of Psych, Shawn and Gus encounter a food called "Fries Quatro Queso Dos Fritos." These are twice fried potatoes with a four cheese mixture inside, served with sour cream and bacon. These fries don't actually exist, but many psych fans have tried their hands at recreating them. Last night was my turn.

You start off getting small potatoes, cutting them in half and scooping out most of the insides, stuffing them with cheese and securing with toothpicks. You drop them in the fryer for ten minutes and take them out to cool. Then you bread or batter them (we used panko) and fry them again for only a minute. They sound horribly unhealthy, but they were soooo good.




My roommates, Ansley and Caroline were such good sports to help me. It definitely took all three of us to get it all together!

Here's how they turned out!









The party turned out pretty fun. Nobody had ever tried "Fries Quatro Queso Dos Fritos" before and they were a big hit. We also had other "psych" foods to make the first viewing experience awesome for all. Here's a picture of the spread!

The only thing missing from this picture is we also had double chocolate fudge brownies. Yeah, it was a pretty unhealthy night. But the grapes and pineapple helped balance it out, right? :)
