Restaurant review: The Yanks are coming
For the safest restaurant to own would be an American-style diner. Again and after all, you know in advance what the menu will be, and given that it is simple and authentic, how could they possibly screw up? It’s impossible, or almost.
So what we have with the Jukebox is the first all-American diner, serving honest all-American comfort food. It’s a wonder that nobody has done this before in Bucharest. Situated just off the fountains in Unirii, you enter a ’shack’ with a small terrace. The shack is the restaurant, and as you walk through it, it ‘morphs’ into a cavernous dance club with live music in the evening.
So let’s look at the utterly predictable menu. This is strictly for the young Lipscani crowd rather than the fiti people of Herastrau and the ‘Bucharest beach’ walk of Radu Beller. So leave the Bentley at home and dress down when you come here.
There are no surprises, other than the fact that as you will see, what we had was exceptionally good. So, there were four salads priced at RON 13 lei, Greek, tuna, Caesar and vegetarian. No surprises there. Then there were grills such as eight buffalo wings in a spicy coating for a mere RON 12. But we went to town on this section starting with piquant spare ribs at RON 20. This was a ‘baby back’ of four ribs of smoked pork which had correctly been boiled and it was great. It was accompanied by a perfect sweet and spicy house-made sauce.
You may think four ribs is small, and in the USA it would be. But the USA is the world’s capital of obesity where being a female fat-arsed tub of lard, or a male gut-bucket slob is considered to be perfectly normal. These physical aberrations are due entirely to the American obsession with over-eating whale-sized portions. The House wisely serves smaller, standard European sized portions which thankfully keeps us European men looking as slim and fit as Greek Gods, and European women looking as beautiful as Aphrodite incarnate.
So we followed with a cheeseburger, which was the same size and price as a Mac Muck, but twice as tasty. Off to a chicken satay. However, having tasted the sauce on my spare ribs, I expected a similar pleasant surprise with my satay sauce. And I got it! I suspect the kitchen may have purposely left a few lumps of peanuts not entirely creamed by the blender just to prove it was house made. No matter, it was good. Peanuts blended with cream and coconut milk and as good as it gets.

It was accompanied by a side of fresh tomato salsa. But the salsa cried out to be spiced up with hot jalapeno peppers. And this means the sliced pickled American variety of jalapenos which they did not have. So jump to it House and get some!

A couple of the products being used by El Mexicano were good enough to make me want to find out the brands so I could buy them for home, such as the flour tortillas and pickled jalapenos. I enjoyed the fresh cilantro in several of the dishes so much I
Most American recipes using chipotle peppers call for the canned variety. Many of them call for a scoop of the adobo as well as minced or puréed peppers. Even though chipotles are rated as medium-hot on the pepper scale, they can pack a potent punch,
Finger Food Friday -- Jalapeno Deviled Eggs Recipe
Througout the years, I’ve eaten deviled eggs every which way. Many were decades-old family recipes that followed some combination of mashed yolks, mayo, mustard and sweet pickle relish. Others were filled with more interesting ingredients like crabmeat, chipotle peppers or Underwood Deviled Ham in the can. Do you remember that stuff? All of them were delicious, even the ones with pickle relish–which I firmly believe should be relegated to hotdogs! At home, however, I’ve always stuck to my traditional recipe of Hellman’s mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and black pepper. I’ve relied on those basic ingredients for not only potlucks and parties by quick and easy breakfasts and after-school snacks. The kids love them. I love them. The hubby loves them. Everyone loves them. But recently, I started playing around with my stuffed eggs and discovered that they’re even better with fresh jalapenos. I love the bite of the crisp peppers buried in the creamy yolk filing. I also like the brininess of the pickled jalapeno juice, which is why I throw a little bit of that in the mix too. This is good, old fashioned finger food with a twist. If you’re serving them to company, be sure to “flag” these Jalapeno Deviled Eggs with the recommended garnish so your guests will know what to expect when they bite into them.
I’m thinking that these spicy deviled eggs will taste even better chased by something citrusy. While there are tons of mixed drink options to choose from (including 1 fresh sliced jalapeno pepper, for garnish
Halve the eggs lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a small bowl; mash yolks with the back of a fork. Add jalapeno pepper, mayonnaise, cilantro, mustard, pickled jalapeno juice and cayenne pepper. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon mixture into hollowed out egg whites. Garnish with fresh jalapeno slices. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serves 6.
