Welcome yet again to another Secret Ingredient fix post, this post that Coffee Talk will be posting about has to do with one of my favorite food researcher, his name is Todd Wilbur, I know some of you may or may not have heard of him. Well he is, the author Top Secret Recipe books. Todd Wilbur has been out there for some time now, and the first time, I came across him, I was sitting in my living room with the remote in my hand. I was flipping through channels, when I struck by what was on the Food Network channel. So, I of course stop flipping through channels and watched what Wilbur was making. Now I can not remember exactly what he was making. But, I will say this: Wilbur has a lot of tricks up his sleeve's, and I honestly do not know how he does it. What he does is remake your favorite restaurant meals, so that you can enjoy them without spending a lot of money for the dish. May that is so what like me--to some degree, I believe. So, I will hand it back over to Coffee Talk and before I go, I want to say: "Know your food before taking the first bite."

Thanks Katrina for sharing yet another story with your follower, As Coffee Talk enjoys hearing food related stories. Why speaking of stories, Coffee Talk has a recipe to share with you all, and it's a spin on "Beer nuts".
