I like a nice steak or chicken fajita every now and again. The cast iron the sizzle the apparent freshness the some assembely requirted part. The one thing I dont really understand is why the candle to keep the plate hot.
Its a 1000 degree cast iron plate. You could serve the plate on an ice cube and it would still be hot for quite some time. I aways blow the candle out right away as I dont really want my cheap ass cut of steak overcooking on my plate. Its funny at times and my wife thinks I am a nut and servers sometimes want to relight it depending on the resturant. But really mexican resturants always love to give you plates so hot a mid-rare steak will be mid-well before you are done with it. Why the fajitas? Whay are they the ones that need a candle when the plate is already hotter than anyhting else outside of the kitchen. I checked the other day and the plate was still hot after I finished and I blew tha candel out the second the server brought the food.
I dont really know if I am complaining as the blowing out of the candle has become part of the whole fajita experience for me. I was just hoping for an answer?
Way to go, man. Now you’ve embarrassed those of us brave enough to claim this place as home. If you were eating at Gallo’s or at La Mex, you deserve whatever you get. That’s some crappy Mexican food. Mexico In Alaska is okay, but the best southwest cuisine is at the Bear Tooth Grill in Spenard.
We have a lot of good restaurants, just few really good CHEAP restaurants. After 23 years in the Navy, I suspect nothing much really embarasses me. I do blindfold guests when traveling through Wasilla, though.
