My wife and I have always enjoyed a good Caesar salad. However, it was not until a trip to Palm Springs in 1999, that we experienced the true taste of a freshly made table side Caesar salad. As we watched our waiter at LG’s Prime Steakhouse mix all the fresh ingredients, we kept a watchful eye and asked lots of questions so that we could replicate at home. Actually, LG’s provides this recipe to all of its patrons because it is a signature dish. Although we have dined at many other steakhouses since, and enjoyed similar table-side Caesar salads, this recipe is still the all-time favorite. We have prepared this salad at home many times over the last 10 years and we have also made some minor tweaks.... to make it our own.... It has been a hit every time!

So, enjoy a great meal on your patio this summer and impress your guests by tossing a table side homemade Caesar salad that is really simple to make and sure to delight. Be certain to make this dressing at the last minute before dinner to ensure it is fresh. In addition, you will showcase the “wowfactor”, as the dinner guests observe your kitchen prowess in mixing up this dressing. Table-Side Fresh Caesar Dressing (Like any good classic steak-house):

I am sure they will have fun and also love the taste of the multi color cookies...Basically, any sugar cookie dough recipe would be good. Just add whatever colors you want with food coloring or if you don't want to use food coloring, just add cocoa powder.

"The Reverse Food Engineer William McKee"

A favorite local restaurant of many Northern Virginia families is Bonefish Grill. Their Bang-Bang Shrimp appetizer dish is a very popular item on their menu. For us, and even our 5 year old daughter who is the pickiest of eaters – this dish is a must-have every time we go to this family friendly restaurant. We decided to investigate this dish further and impress our guests by replicating this delicious appetizer in our kitchen. We call this process reverse engineering and here’s our recipe.
