Stuffed French Toast, Blackened Catfish And Ridiculous Amounts Of Sushi [This Week’s Weekend Eats]

Last weekend was a doozy, especially on the east coast where the weather was stormy and perfect for cooking indoor away from things like hurricanes.

During times of stress, we turn to comfort food. Hence the name. I happen to think 99.9 percent of all food is comforting in some way, but I digress.

Speaking of comfort food, dig that photo above from my Twitter friend @jencarlisle. She enjoyed her some of what she calls her “ultimate comfort food” of brisket and gravy over cornbread waffles, black-eyed peas, green beans.

Oooooof.

Sorry. Just had a moment there.

Better now.

Other great weekend grub contributed on Twitter and Facebook by my friends and followers include:

@nerditry - Decadence Sat. @ Ravenous Pig; home-cooked blacknd catfish, cous cous, grn. tomato/red pepper salad last nite.

@Brewkkake - Carnitas tacos from Tacos Al Carbon in Lake Worth, @CigarCityBeer Vuja De sour ale.

@xericwit - Homemade roasted edamame salad & smokey chipotle hummus
