[Challenge] Tie the Cherry Stem

For my Wisconsin peeps! Jose’s Blue Sombrero has a new challenge for y’all. Order a tequila and tie the cherry stem into a knot with your tongue and then you’ll get the next three libations on the casa.

You have until Monday, April 25, to complete your mission. Think you can handle the pressure?

Jose's Blue Sombrero Cherry ChallengeRemember the last challenge at JBS that we tried here at All’s Fare? I’m thinking Chris still remembers the Fireball Burrito Challenge like yesterday…

Jose’s Blue Sombrero has two Wisconsin locales – Brookfield and Racine. If you do try the challenge, send me pix and I’ll feature it on the bloggie!

Jose’s Blue Sombrero Fireball Burrito Challenge

Eating a burrito in 15 minutes isn’t that big of a deal to most people.

I first came across the Dutch Baby on the menu at The Original Pancake House, a breakfast chain that originates in Oregon. Celebrated chef James Beard (a Portland, Oregon native) named it one of the Top 10 best restaurants in America. According to the restaurant’s website, in 1999 the James Beard Foundation named OPH a regional landmark restaurant.

OPH’s Dutch Baby is an oven-baked delight. But beware, it takes at least 30 minutes for this bountiful goodness to arrive at your table. The main ingredients are eggs, milk, flour, eggs, and some seasonings like vanilla or cinnamon, more eggs and still more eggs. I asked once at OPH how their rendition gets so fluffy and tall. The trick? Using a blender and a bit of their famous pancake batter. The blender aerates the batter creating a fluffy mixture that then bakes in an oven for quite a while. Top it off with some lemon juice and powdered sugar and the result is magic in your mouth.
