Fil-ABT's and a Biggie Smalls Shooter

[bigabyte]

I made this for the "Hors d'ouerves and Cocktails" Throwdown.

The drink is a 4 ounce Cocktail Shooter made by adding a Maraschino Cherry to the glass and then filling to the 1/2oz line with Grenadine, then filled to the 2oz line with Black Raspberry Schnapps, and then topped with Southern Comfort.

Since this is a new creation, I decided to name it after a mix of my "screen name" while also acknowledging the drinks "small" size because it is a "shot", albeit a rather "large" shot at that. Thus I have named the drink the "Biggie Smalls Shooter".

For the appetizer, I made Fil-ABT's.:becky: I got the idea for the name from Chick-Fil-A!:becky:

They are Mini Sweet Pepper Boats filled with a blend of crumbled Gorgonola and Cream Cheese with minced Garlic, minced Onion and fresh cracked Black Pepper. The Pepper Boat is then wrapped in Bacon and grilled indirect until the bacon is crisp. I also grilled up a 1-1/2 inch thick Tenderloin Steak. When all these were done I took slices of the Tenderloin Steak and wrapped them over the ABT and drizzled with Balsamic Glaze. Thus the name Fil-ABT!:becky:

Thanks for looking.

That is good Man! Real good:clap2::clap2:

They were real damn good actually!:hungry: I ate them all:redface: I may need to go on a diet after that considering I know how much went into all of them.

This is definitely going to be a regular option when doing steaks and ABT's from now on. This just makes the variations on ABT's even bigger really.

That does look beautiful! I don't think I could drink that though, I would be laying on the floor with my face eating the food v. my mouth. (I haven't drank in about 5 years, I don't think I could handle 1/2 of that bad boy) :shocked:

Great job though! Looks like a winner to me!

 

[Smokey Al Gold]

Can you please stop creating such tasty confections. Every time I read your food threads I end up running out and buying rib eye to grill (one of the few things I'm good at cooking). You're costing me a lot of money.

 

[PatAttack]

Cook twice as much next time so I can have some!:thumb:

Great job!

 

[cowgirl]
