when i was 16, my bf took me out for Mexican at this awesome little restaurant in NY for Valentines Day. i wasn't very hungry so i ordered the guacamole which they chop up and make fresh for you right at your table, and i drank 2 margaritas with that. shouldnt have been a problem, but their margaritas were VERY strong, and then we decided to hit up another bar after dinner where he knew his coworkers would be, so i had a few more drinks on top of that. i was drunk, but didn't realize exactly how drunk i was until we got on the train to go home. we made it only a few stops north of Manhattan when i just turned around and puked guacamole all over the aisle... then stood up to walk to the bathroom (which was occupied) so i puked all over the aisle again. lol, and the conductor just covered it up with newspaper since i guess they didn't have anything to clean it up with.
looking back, i'm surprised i didn't get kicked off the train. it was NOT pretty. |
my two favorite fresh made guac restaurants in nyc, Rosa Mexicana (nachos lol) and Dos Caminos
I think I like Dos Caminos better since they use a much more bland chip then Rosas does... |

This reminds me, I have two avacados sitting in the fridge... I'm making guacamole tonight.... fajitas FTW |
guac + steak would probably be quite tasty, but i've never tried it before. usually i like bleu cheese or A1 steak sauce with mine, and i'm not sure the avocado would blend well with those flavors.
i do like avocado slices on hamburgers though! i ordered a tofu burger last weekend solely so i could eat something with avocado slices on it. |

the one i went to was called The Alamo. it was somewhere between 2nd and 3rd avenues around 47th or 48th street... don't remember exactly since it's been a while. i think they got shut down a few years ago for health code reasons though. |

yea i've only had a few places with good guac, im kinda skeptical for those unsanitary places especially if they are preparing fresh foods. |

mmmm Roqufort butter FTW.
BTW, you wouldn't mix guacamole with either A1 (why would you ruin your steak with that crap) or blue cheese. I'd recommend you prepare a rub of kosher salt, granulated garlic, black pepper, and chili powder... press it into the steak, let sit for 1/2 hour to an hour depending on thickness of steak, BBQ, then place the guacamole on top of the cooked steak just as you would any compound butter. |

no matter what the steak aficionados say, i still love me some A1. mmmm.

I hope you like it.
BTW, do you just go full bore with the blue cheese or do you mix with butter and garlic? |

Oh man. Maybe it's a New England thing. |
I can vouch for this being in the top 3 of food / flavor combinations anywhere. |

North of the boarder it's bacon and maple syrup. We don't do breakfast saussage here... why have saussage when you can have bacon? |

i like just plain bleu cheese sprinkled on top of the steak, letting it melt a bit and mix with the juices on top of the steak.
mixing it with butter and garlic sounds tasty too, but ive never tried that. |

Also a very good combination. Although bacon holds a very cherished place in my heart, there is still a lot to be said about a good maple syrup sausage. |
