Cooking With Dave

Charlotte Critic has been going without updates and not getting alot of love this past 3 weeks. All the staff and contributors have ben off on other projects, vacation or jhust plain busy.

As the premier blog in Charlotte for food, and things that men agree on, we will not be going extinct anytime soon. We have lost our main Chef on Staff David Scott to family related obligations and just building his own website and his own personal cooking projects. We will get back up to date on this soon.

Our webmaster has been actively helping a local friend Mike Kraft as they develope their own blog and news site for Charlotte and US politics at www.Charlotteconservative.com. Mr. Kraft has a good base of writers and has experience as a GOP blogger. We hope our readers head over and check out his common sense views.

And lastly our main editor has a second child and has ben overrun with the fun and obligations of being a father for the second time.

More from the mind of Dave to your plates and pots. Dave Scott from Davecancook.com is one our exclusive contributors and again hits a home run with how he, and now you, can make great Lasagna.

Dave went overtime on this recipe and it has come out as a two part’er’.

This first viedo keys on making the sauce which is “the most important part” to making your lasagna a hit.

We have fallin a bit behind and Dave never stops cooking so stay tuned as we catch up with more great ideas for men in the kitchen looking for something beyond pot pies.

When you get done learning how to whip up lasagna here see more of Dave and his creations in the kitchen at Dave’s Youtube.com page and be sure to leave a comment and tell him where you saw him, on Charlottecritic.com.

Just double click any video to pop in on his homepage.

Dave does requests so feel free to drop him a line as a Youtube comment or right here on our site and let hiom know what you want to challenge the “world’s greatest chef” to make next week in his ongoing series.

Here in the second video Dave takes the great sauce you just learned how to make and tells you where to stick it! I mean stick to the ribs of course!

Dave is recovering from the flu, and the first thing he did on his comeback tour in the kitchen is bring out the big guns with a recipe from his Grandma’s archive.

Nothing brings the strength back to a cook in the kitchen like Beef Stew Hash.

Not only has the beef stew revived our contributor Dave Scott, but this also means Dave Junior is tossed back behind the camera after bringing us Southern Style Breakfast.

Dave writes us the following insight on this kithen creation:

“Grandma’s Stew Beef Hash!! Oh man, this is good. Stew Beef, Potatoes and Onions. Grandma taguht me how to cook this and it is good. Grandma’s secret is in the onions. Two whole chopped onions stewed slow with beef and potatoes. You put the Hash on some grits and let the taste buds fly.”

This post is a contribution of cooking and great food ideas from the World’s Greatest Chef David Scott of Charleston, South Carolina. Dave shows us how to cook up dishes that men love to eat in a way that is so easy no man can mess it up. Stop back often to get the latest recipes every week.

Unfortunately Dave is down with the flu or perhaps Dave Jr. has him tied up in the basement so he can take over the kitchen and eat both plates of food. Dave’s son steps up to the plate and gives us what we have all been requesting which is how to cook traditional southern style breakfast.

Dave Jr. Produces 3 plates of greasy mixed and meat loaded breakfast. First he puts together a traditional grit breakfast on an omelete with sausage, bacon and plenty of grease, he matches that with a non-grit potato breakfast and lastly he shows you how to make french toast.

If you are incompetent in the kitchen and realize that nothing is as good as greasy Southern American-style breakfast, this is the lesson to show you how to make it right.

So Dave has outdone himself this time, he refused to make an eggroll and instead made the modern man-version of this classic with the meatroll.

Take your traditional eggroll spice it with strong garlic, onion and italian seasoning add a pound of beef and sausage and your getting close to what Davecreates with his spin on the classic eggroll, the Southern meatroll.

This latest installation in the Carolina Cooking with Dave series on Charlottecritic.com features some semi-sweet singing int he kitchen and a celebrity guest appearence by Dave Jr.

I hit Dave up for a request on the coming March madness NCAA tourney. I had hopes for “finger foods with flair” unique and heavy enough to fill up a room full of semi-cultured men. Dipping is compulsive behavior around the tourney time of year and seems this year will be an epidemic.

Teriyaki hot wings are a sure fire way to impress your fanciest Duke-fan friend, while filling up the 340lb guy for UNC, see the recipe then go eat this recipe.

Good morning on this monday!

Here’s another episode of Carolina Cooking With Dave. He’s done it again with a crazy array of four flavors for spicing up our chicken. He even stirs up some dippin’ sauce tasty enough to make your mouth water and eyes tear. This takes an innocent snack and makes it decadent. A great way to kick off March Madness!!

Dave says “We aren’t dipping chips. We are dipping Meat!”

We are slowly catching up on the posts by Dave. We are using his archived recipes. In the future we wont be posting “by Dave” recipes daily like we are now.

Dave has promised us one per week every Monday. With this promise every Tuesday night you can have a new meal from the Southern kitchen master and our very appreciated contributor from this day forward.

Here is Dave making up Spaghetti Carbonara.

How can you possible not like eating pasta with cheese and bacon?

Just the ingredients of this dish served on side dish plates would be great, so when its cooked to perfection this is a great dish that will please.

Picture yourself stirring this cheese and bacon packed bowl of pasta before you hit it with salt and red pepper and serve it up to company, or perhaps you have visons of the great leftover this would make at midnight when you are craving a snack.

Enjoy this sweet “man favorite” dish!

And last up is the homerun from “Cooking With Dave” the world’s greatest chef (according to him). Daves thick southern style and accent caught my eye, and his ability to doo 100 things with pork makes him all about what Charlottecritic.com loves the most.

Thanks to Dave for 3 nice video lessons in the klitchen.

We have shot Dave an email and asked him to contribute more of these great southern authentic style recipes for our readers and get you men in the kitchen making some pork.
