Man Burger with Chipotle Mayonnaise

The Man Burger idea came from watching Alton Brown cook up his mini man burgers in Good Eats. Sliders are great for appetizers but what you really need is a full size man burger. We took Alton's creation and super-sized it and made it for real men. Topping it off with a little chipotle mayo helps bring out the spicy flavor that brings every man to tears.

Simple Chocolatey Chocolate Croissant

The history of the Croissant is as flakey as its delicious crust. Stories of its origin date back to the 8th century. One story states that the Croissant was invented in Vienna, Austria in 1683 to celebrate the defeat of the Turks, in reference to the crescent on the Turkish flag. Until today, I never thought war had an influence on culinary creations. Join us in adding chocolate to history and enjoying the taste of victory, so to speak.

Rhode Island Style Chili Dog

You can't be a fan of Man vs Kitchen and not be a fan of Guy Fieri. After making a trip to Costco and purchasing a large pack of Nathan hot dogs I was craving some chili to top them off. Canned chili would have been a simple solution, but that's not how we do it at Man vs Kitchen. I needed to find a good recipe. So that is what I did, found Guy's recipe and add a little zing. If you like chili without the beans, then give this a shot. It's simple and delicious.

French Macarons are becoming more and more popular. These macarons may be fragile and small but they pack a punch when it comes to taste. Think Little Mac from Punch Out! Great part is, they come in many variety of flavors. So far, I have tried vanilla with white ganache, lavender tea with lander tea infused milk ganache, green tea with green tea white ganache, raspberry with chocolate ganache and of course these chocolate macarons you see pictured. Macarons are the transformers of deserts. Mix and match or create new flavors, the possibilities are endless. What flavors have you had? or would like to have?

Bruschetta with Tomato and Basil

An appetizer whose origin dates back to the 15th century. These simple appetizers are also known as fettunta in Tuscany, which means "oiled slices". The raw nature of all the ingredients make the bruschetta a refreshing and healthy appetizer. In addition to fresh basil and tomato, extra-virgin olive oil is a great source of monounsaturated fat which is linked to reducing heart disease. Even though this is a healthy appetizer, it should still be considered man eats.
