Quick cheesesteak. Deli roast beef, onion, red bell pepper (pan fried in butter and oil), and American cheese (added at the end to melt) on a Portuguese roll.

I'm curious, what is called a "portuguese roll" in the US? (If my Google search is right, it's what we in Portugal call a "papo seco" or "carcaça")

Yes! That's indeed a very common type of bread here in Portugal.

Lunch today was fusion.

 

[TastyReuben]

Last night was a one-pan meal of sautéed cabbage, onion, diced potatoes, and diced ham.

This evening's meal will be at the Michelin listed Cap Aurea. A full poncy tasting menu at a restaurant whose entrance you can only find if a member of the hotel concierge staff tells you where it is.

There will be no pictures, but expect stuff like this.

So the seven course menu ended up being 14 seperate rounds of food. The best dish was the bisque sauce served with the langoustine, the most surprising chocolates filled with jellied lamb jus.

Was great. I had Dixie chicken with side of shrooms. 10/10. Wife had a steak which was perfect. Eli had a burrito. He absolutely loves taco bell here. I e taken him 3 times. So the burrito was not unexpected?
All huge meals. I had a pilsner and they had diet cokes.
Wife was very happy. I'll pass on congrats. Thanks.

The most common bread roll in Texas stores is the Mexican Bolillo (Bo-Lee-Yo).

It could be used for a cheesesteak, but it is not a true hoagie/cheesesteak roll.

We get them here as well, called dinner buns. I quite often split for garlic bread.
Cheap and yummy

Or on the the all-knowing internet. It's on the fifth floor of the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj.

A lot of chicken on that menu. Not much steak. But, a "New Zealand" restaurant in Texas would not be any more "authentic" to NZ food.

You need a Texas Roadhouse. They are a chain joint, too, but pretty good steaks. You pick your own steak, and they cook it.

We went out for dinner a few nights ago and I had surf and turf, but only ate the surf part. As I knew I probably wouldn't be able to eat it, I ordered the steak rare so I could do something with it at home. Decided to make a play on bouef bourguignon.
