Decided last minute to make myself some onion rings to go with my birthday steak, and this was the result of too many shallot hoops at once in a small pan. An Onion Crown

10/10, would recommend

    Edit: My Bernaise split as I was marveling at my onion creation, and my Rump slightly over cooked as I was trying to fix my sauce, (which split again on the plate but came back together as I was eating 🙏)

    Like a rat king, but for onion rings. Wonderful!

    Cross the fog, to the Lands Between.

    To stand before the Onion Ring.

    And become the Onion Lord.

    That’s pretty baller. That’d be good on a salad too

    There’s a great oyster spot in New Orleans called Casamento’s. They stuff a bunch of battered oysters into a fryer basket, making an oyster loaf. The loaf gets sliced and served on bread as a sandwich.

    We dont call them mistakes, we call them upgrades. Looks incredible

    Hackneys in the Chicago area does this, but an entire frier basket at a time. A cinder block size brick of deliciousness!

    Ooh I would destroy that and want more. The steak looks amazing too.

    reminds me of onion fritters and sounds delicious.

    I’d buy that if it had a ramekin of sweet tai chili aoli.

    I used to work at place that would cram a bunch into the fryer basket and serve it as a loaf.

    It’s like this existed first at an old school steakhouse since the 50s. Tony Roma visits this place in 1971 and says “I’m gonna build an empire on making this a monstrosity where everyone gets diarrhea.”

    And thus the onion loaf, and Tony Roma’s, was born.
