This is another recipe that I conjured up looking for something that I could easily pack for work and would be able to enjoy at or near it's full potential after a quick nuking. This one is a quick adaptation of Emeril Lagasse's stuffed cornbread recipe utilizing a few ingredients I had available at the time, as well as a few optional tweaks that I found round out the flavor and make it a bit more of a meal-type dish.

Down-Gnome Cooking: Arnold Palmer Braised Brats
Hey boys and girls, here's a quick recipe from the Gnome:
I've been working on a number of easily transportable recipes that I can brown-bag to work for lunch the last few weeks. There are plenty of eating opportunities near my office but with how strapped I am for cash it has become much more effective to simply cook my own and pack it in. As such I'm working hard on building myself a menu of portable edibles that hold well and don't mind a little time in the fridge followed by a subsequent radiation bath.
The first in this series of brown-bag gourmet is an excellent recipe for braised bratwurst I stumbled across very recently. To be completely honest I was just dicking around in the kitchen, but the results were excellent, and so now I give it to the world.

The Chubby Gnome: An Ode to Breakfast
An Ode to Breakfast:
I love breakfast. It's by far my favorite meal of the day, and I will have it at any point in the day, as many times as I like. If there's one thing other than my hairy feet that make people draw comparisons between myself and hobbits, it's that.

Fat Kid Reviews: Copper Creek
Copper Creek Pub and Grub
3154s 5600w West Valley City Ut.
A few years ago my brother stumbled upon this place tucked back behind two fast food mexican places over in West Valley. He went there with an old friend on a number of occasions before I was invited to go with them.
My first impression was that it was a nice a fairly clean bar. Emphasizing sports and beers. Then we ordered some food. The menu was usual bar fair. A fair assortment of meat between various forms of breads and a lot of fried foods. A handful of salads that exist more for the sake of appearance than for their ground breaking flavors or ideas. It is a place exactly as advertised. It's a pub. Where one could very easily grub.

The Chubby Gnome's Review-O-Tron: Desert Magnolia BBQ
Located @ 4066S 1900W Open Tues-Sat
Hidden deep inside an office complex is one of the greatest barbecue joints I've ever entered, and it's certainly the best north of Salt Lake City, and I love me some charcoalized dead animal.

Fat Kid Reviews: The Pie's Chicken Cordon Blue Pizza
The Pie is a pizza place in Utah that most if not all folks in Salt Lake have a passing knowledge of. It began as a pit of a place under a drug store. And in the last few years they've expanded to a handful of locations across the valley.
But this is the one I went to. It's just down the street from me and honestly? It's a good pie. My favorite, and the one I usually get is the combination. Just delicious. Loaded with veggies and meats. Just fantastic. One of my favorite pizzas in the world.
But that's not what I'm reviewing, because honestly, you'll either have already tried it, or would figure it out on your own.
No. I want to talk about the specialty pizza I had a few days ago.
