What's your favorite late night snack after having a few beers?

[Rhoobarb]

Deep Dish or a very cheesy pizza followed by a slice of chocolate cake. Way back in my younger days, a pizza from C.W. Napkin and a slice of their chocolate cake was an almost weekly tradition.

After a couple beers for some reason I've always got a hankering for some fresh or Fried Mozzarella cheese with either Marinara sauce or fresh Extra virgin Olive oil and some salt/pep/garlic/

I love making a crustless pizza. Take Mozzarella or provalone (provalone crisps up nice) and lay it on a pizza pan and then maybe top with some pepperoni and bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and crispy brown on the bottom and edges. If you leave spaces between the cheese on the pan you get even more crispy edges. So good!

After giving this a lot of thought since this thread begins I have to go with frozen pizza as my #1 basic quick late night slightly drunk snack.

If I am out it is usually loaded fries but with bleu cheese instead of ranch for dipping. At home it is whatever I can come up with.

 

[RayInUT]

Seriously? California burrito?

This must be some kinda freezer food at the Circle K.

A local grocery store makes Hatch Green Chile Tortilla Chips that are really freakin good with beer.

 

[arturo7]

tonight it is lefgtover Greek food.

Not sayin' it;s may fave, but it's pretty damn tasty raht nawh!

 

[nystevecf]

lamb is gross...that is all

Ha ha you have never had lamb cooked properly. Some sea salt, garlic, fennel, and a little bit of bread crumbs made into meatballs any you will sing a different tune. Or cooked as shiskebab by someone that knows what they are doing.

 

[RayInUT]

While I wouldn't pick lamb as my favorite late night snack, I would choose rack of lamb seasoned with rosemary, garlic, sea salt, and pepper over most other meats for a great dinner with a really good cabernet or malbec.

anything salty

Dude, was that you in the 7-11? You took the last can of buffalo pringles.

 

[BakerStreetBeers]

they have this convenience store near my old house that made Beefy Cheesy Tots. it is the ultimate late night snack. Tater Tots covered in shreded roast beef and gravy topped with melted nacho cheese.

Dude, I am so moving there. Wait, you said made? No mas?

 

[BakerStreetBeers]

Individual nachos. Take a bunch of chips, place one jalapeño on each, cover with just enough cheddar to cover the jalapeño and bake for about 5min. Goes excellent with an IPA.

This is exactly how my family made nachos when I was growing up, except that we put the pepper slice atop the cheese instead of under. And uh, we used a microwave a lot of the time.

Ok, I admit I've been all over this thread tonight. Yes, I'm buzzing. Had a Le Merle Saison from North Coast Brewing and a Kilt Lifter from Moylans. Hanging out with the Sig-O who is ostensibly sharing these brews with me.

In any case, had to finish by weighing in on the California Burrito/Potato thing. I'm a taqueria freak and only at one place in Sonoma County have I seen offered a dish called Carne Asada Fries. Also available in burrito form.

Wikipedia has an article on this dish which suggests that it is well known in San Deigo, but less so in California points northern, though it mentions Sacramento. This article is available here:
Carne asada fries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love the concept, but in practice can pass on the potato.

 

[arturo7]

Pet-the-******-frickin-a-luma?

Ya gots ta have a taco stand there, ya?

Either that or some aw selling hotgogs from his cart?

 

[arturo7]

I'm sorry, but this so-called California Burrito sounds disgusting.

seriously, San Diego, you can'T do better?

A quesadilla

1 GOOD qualtiy tortilla ( I like La La's Traditional; style)
Tilimook sharp cheddar
Shaved red onion
Thin sliced Roma tomato
Thin Sliced Haas avacado
Heat of yer preferance, Tobasco, Gunslinger, raw jalepinos (my fave!)or whatever

Heat tortilla over medium low heat, add cheese. When Cheese starts to melt add ingredients of chioice to one half. After a couple minutes, fold tortilla in half. Shoot for a warm golden brown/cheese melted. Cut into desired portions and serve with heat of choice...



Multiply this by the number of hungery stomaches in the pad....

Low key, low to medium calories....

You know, this doesn't sound bad. The only thing I would add is to make sure the fillings are all heated before tossing them into the mix. Especially the tomatoes. A raw tomato in a qd will often spew it's juice everywhere making a runny mess.

But hey, if you put a runny qd in formt of me right now I'd gobble ti the frag up!

 

[OverHopped]

I always crave spicy and fried. Wings, Jalapeno poppers, etc.

 

[RayInUT]

I'll pass on the Cali burrito but carne asada fries are killer. So is a thing known as a flying saucer in San Diego County mexi joints. Potatoes in a burrito are just cheap filler in my opinion...just like rice and beans. Where's the beef, bitch???

I'll admit to not reading this whole thread, but:

carne asada, potatoes, pico de gallo, & cheese in a tortilla doesn't sound good? hell it tastes good in Arizona.

 

[arturo7]

I worked in a pizza place for a bit and learned how to make calzones. Now I make my own mini calzones at home. Its fairly easy, and you can freeze the dough. My fav home made calzone to date is my signature:

Pepperoni
salami
Italian sausage
black olives
artichoke
roasted garlic
provolone
mozzarella
topped with alfrado sauce

wrap that bad boy up and glaze with some galic butter and your good to go.

no one said it had to be healthy:rockin:

 

[MultumInParvo]

Honey roasted peanuts for sure. They require no effort, and they're always good.

 

[brrman]

no idea why, but sometimes I get an itch of ramen noodles.
