"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Every time we went out for dinner, Jess would order this. Finally, after a few flops, I actually perfected the dish. She says it's the best. Experiment with the spicy flavors and make it as hot as you like.
