I almost entirely lurk, but I couldn't resist this one. I ate at the old
Chuys in Austin many years ago and I expect its just the sort of place the
Bush kids would think of as really cool. Nuff said.

Oh, and somebody sent out a request for Cuitlacoche recipes the other
day. I made this a while back and it came out pretty tasty:
Cuitlacoche Ravioli
Follow your favorite pasta recipe. I use lots of dark egg yolks and port.
Saute a few handfuls of shallots in olive oil.
Add a sprinkling of flat leaf parsley.
Cook until you get a bit of a glaze on the bottom of the pan and then
deglaze with port.
Toss in a couple of cans of cuitlacoche or one can and some soaked dried
mushrooms like morels or black chanterelles.
Cook a little longer and then add the soaking liquid. Keep cooking and
reducing.
I put in a couple of chipotles in adobo. I didn't want this hot because of
the delicate flavors of the mushrooms,but one or two give it a nice
flavor. I guess you should just go with your own tolerances or obsessions.
Then add about half a bottle of port, a little bit at a time and keep
reducing until you have a scary looking black, thick paste for stuffing
your ravioli.
enjoy...
