The world’s largest Mexican casual dining brand, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina, has just launched a new menu featuring the two winning dishes from its recent Culinary Competition: the Texas Grilled Burrito and Mexican Slaw.
Now in its third year, On the Boarder’s Culinary Competition is hosted by the brand each year to inspire creativity and engage employees. All On The Border team members can participate and flex their culinary creativity. The winning dishes to come out of the competition were the Texas Grilled Burrito and Mexican Slaw, while the Blue Island Cooler was the winning cocktail. The Texas Grilled Burrito consists of a Texas-sized burrito filled with beef brisket, French fries, jalapeño-BBQ sauce, mixed cheese, On The Border’s Signature Queso, pickled jalapeños, and pickled red onions. The burrito pairs well with the Mexican Slaw, which is a house-made slaw made from cabbage, toasted corn, diced red onions, pickled jalapeños, and a sweet and tangy dressing.
Both of the new items are available now for a limited time.

Take away people’s fried pickle spears at your own peril.
The Alamo Drafthouse received the message loud and clear. The pickles are back after a two-year absence and no small amount of complaining from Drafthouse faithful. The crunchy, tart, ranch-dipped appetizers are the headline addition to a fully revamped menu at the Austin-based Drafthouse.
Here’s what else you need to know about the updates to the new menu that rolls out at the Drafthouse Friday:
Why did the pickles disappear and why are they back?
The pickles vanished in the summer of 2021, but “The supply chain eased, and the people demanded them,” according to Alamo Drafthouse operations chef Jason Schwartz. The pickles are coming back as full spears after the Drafthouse experimented with a thin-cut pickle fry that was, “pretty good but not what the Alamo loyalist had come to expect,” according to Schwartz.

After finishing your deli sandwich, is there anything better than the first bite of a crunchy dill pickle? The pickle spear is a staple at delis around the country, always served as a side to those big sandwiches.
In fact pickles are so popular that the average American eats about 9 pounds of them each year. But how did the pickle originate and more importantly, how did the dill end up a staple of the deli sandwich?
The Origins of the Pickle
Pickles have been around for thousands of years, dating back as early as 2030 B.C.E. when cucumbers began spreading their way across Mesopotamia. The cucumbers had to be soaked in an acidic brine to preserve them for transport and the pickle was born. The first mention of pickles appears in ancient Chinese manuscripts that are more than 9,000 years old.
Anthropologists think Cleopatra attributed the nutrients in pickles to her beauty, and that they were a favorite food of many notable figures throughout history, including Napoleon Bonaparte and Julius Caesar.
When Christopher Columbus voyaged to the New World, he had pickles on his ships to prevent scurvy among his crew. The English brought their methods for making sweet pickles with vinegar, sugar and spices to the New World.
The term “pickle” likely originated from either the Dutch word “pekel” or northern German “pókel,” which means “salt” or “brine.” These two elements play a crucial role in the pickling process.
During the Victorian era in England, pickles were a status symbol for the wealthy, as was the pickle castor. This was a piece of luxurious serving ware used to hold pickled produce. Pickling cucumbers was common among families with private gardens in the 19th century, and pickles were an essential part of daily meals.
Pickles Go Commercial
Pickles got a boon when the packing process went commercial around the turn of the 20th century. Here women are packing pickles by hand at the Perkins-Epeneter company in Denver, Colorado, in 1952.

The popularity of pickle castors grew between 1860 and 1890, resulting in more intricate designs featuring flowers and gargoyles. They were often displayed in a fancy ceramic or glass pickle castor at the center of the dining table.
But the pickles in castors were mostly made (or pickled) at home. And then H.J. Heinz introduced one of the first commercially produced pickles in 1860 and struck gold at the 1893 World’s Fair with a tiny pickle pendant. The free pickle pendant giveaway was a marketing campaign Heinz used to introduce the company’s ’57 varieties’ of pickles, preserves and other jarred foods; it’s still considered one of the most successful in American history.
Today a host of artisan pickle makers have turned their love for this centuries-old food into successful businesses. Take Nick Melvin, chief pickle officer at Doux South, a farm-to-table pickle company in Atlanta. Melvin says pickling has been part of his life since he was a kid spending summers with his grandmother in North Carolina.
“She had a decent size garden for a suburban home and was always pickling hauls from her garden so she could lock in the freshness as soon as possible if there was going to be an overabundance, Melvin says. “It was here that I first got to experience and be a part of the pickling process.”
Doux South sells several varieties of pickles, including bread and butter and dill, as well as other pickled products like relish, tomatoes, onions and the Southern fave, chow chow.
The Dill Pickle and the Deli Sandwich

So why did the dill pickle spear end up being served with the deli sandwich? The practice started when Jewish immigrants began opening delis in New York City around the 1930s. Many offered dill pickles as palate cleansers to customers, because the acidity from the pickle provides a sharp contrast to the fatty meats of the sandwich. They also add a nice crunch.
Once the pickle became a popular side in New York, it caught on across the U.S. because there was nothing to prepare and the pickles were cheap. Today, pickles are so common as a side item with sandwiches, most restaurants and delis don’t even list them on the menus.
Pickling Cukes Is a Science
So what goes into “pickling” a pickle? Essentially “to pickle” means “to preserve.” So to make pickles from cucumbers, they must be soaked in a brine, which is usually vinegar plus flavorful spices. This brine is highly acidic and prevents harmful bacteria from surviving, resulting in a preserved and pickled cuke.
Salt-brining is another method of pickling in which a salt brine — instead of vinegar — is used to ferment the cucumbers. Fermentation causes “good” bacteria to grow and reduces the chances the food will spoil from bad bacteria. A lot of dill pickles are made using this method.
Pickling, of course, is not just limited to just cucumbers. You can also pickle fruits, vegetables, fish, meats and eggs. Kimchi and sauerkraut are both made using the salt-brine method.
There are just about as many ways to spice and flavor pickles as there are vegetables that can be pickled.

Ways to Spice Your Pickles
There are a lot of different ways to make pickles, but these are Melvin’s favorite ways to spice and prepare pickles.
Salt water fermented pickles. The vegetables pickle under lacto-fermentation, resulting in a slightly funky and sour flavor, depending on how long you ferment them.
Dill pickles. For the dill pickle, you need white vinegar, mustard seeds, fresh and dried dill, water, salt and white sugar. It has a very bright and sour flavor with a crisp bite of vinegar.
Bread and butter pickle. These require white vinegar, salt, lots of white sugar, onions, garlic, celery seed, red chili flakes and turmeric. They have a slight yellow tint with a sweeter flavor profile and a firm, crunchy texture.
Refrigerator pickles. The cukes are sliced thin and marinated in a seasoned vinegar/water mixture and kept in the refrigerator. “Nothing fancy needed, but the result is a vegetable-forward crisp pickle.”
“The practice and art of pickling and preserving is an incredibly important tradition to teach generations below us, as it did play a huge role in so many people’s lives in the past,” Melvin says. “Plus, it’s good and fun, and we are always in need of that!”

There’s no denying that Texans love jalapeños. From fiery salsas and tangy queso to smoky jalapeño-muddled margaritas and that 100-year-old Lone Star favorite, cowboy candy, when it comes to spicy flavors, Texans are on fire. In fact, Texans love jalapeños so much that the state’s legislature drafted and approved House Resolution No. 105 (signed by then-Governor George W. Bush) naming the jalapeño the official pepper of Texas, even citing its nutritional and health benefits, as well as its long history as an “essential ingredient” in its official state dish — chili. (Now, that’s real love.)
But there’s one jalapeño-based condiment that has captured the hearts, and taste buds, of locals and visitors alike — it’s their legendary Texas green sauce. This creamy jalapeño sauce, known to locals affectionately as “that green sauce” or “that green stuff,” has established a cult-like following and become a staple in kitchens and restaurants throughout Texas. And if you’re a serious jalapeño lover, this versatile and verdant sauce is not to be missed as it livens up everything from Mexican and Tex-Mex go-tos like chips, roasted potatoes, fries, eggs, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, grilled meats, but also distinctly American fare like pizza, burgers, and hot dogs.
What’s in That Green Stuff or Texas Green Sauce
Not to be confused with salsa verde or Texas green salsa, “that green stuff” is much beloved and hotly debated, with devotees claiming both Houston and Austin origins, each with their own theories as to which ingredients are responsible for its creamy texture. Some credit mayo, sour cream, or avocado for its silky smooth mouthfeel. The truth is — there’s more than one version of creamy jalapeño Texas green sauce.
The most frequently cited version comes from the food truck-laden streets of Austin, where it has none of those suspected ingredients. Austin cooking power couple and authors of “Dining with the Dead,” Mariana Nuño Ruiz and Ian McEnroe, say the key is emulsification. In the same way traditional aioli is made, “the green stuff,” gets its creaminess from an emulsification of oil and garlic, but it also adds fresh jalapeños, onion, and salt. And while some folks saute their peppers and onions until soft before whipping them with an immersion blender, there are those who prefer the bright flavor raw ingredients bring.
For those who remember the good ol’ days when Houston’s “green sauce” reigned supreme, you’ll find the originator to be widely credited as “Mama Ninfa” Laurenzo, the late proprietor of The Original Ninfa’s restaurants. Ninfa’s uses green tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, avocados, cilantro, and sour cream. Both are renowned and delicious — and let’s face it, Texas is big enough for more than one green sauce.

You have heard of kombucha, but perhaps you have not yet dared to try it. You have an idea, but you don’t know exactly what kombucha is, and you are intrigued by its name and its many benefits as a healthy drink. If so, keep reading. In this post, we will tell you ten benefits of kombucha tea that you can obtain from drinking it. But first, let’s start with some facts.
• Did you know that in Los Angeles and California, more kombucha is consumed than Coca-Cola?
• Did you know that it is the drink of choice for many Australians. Costa Ricans and New Zealanders?
• Did you know that kombucha has been made for more than 2.000 years and that it is of oriental origin?
Therefore, drinking kombucha tea is a change of life towards a healthier drink as an alternative to soda. Kombucha is an artisan drink with a lot of tradition, and that contains many benefits for your health. For this reason, more and more families with children choose it as an alternative to sugary soft drinks for children.
So, What Is Kombucha Tea?
Kombucha is a fermented drink based on black or green tea. It is made by fermenting sugary tea using yeasts and bacteria. The fermentation yields what looks like a broad mushroom with a mushy texture. This is called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast).
Initially, kombucha was only produced in East Asia, particularly in China. Gradually, it spread to various parts of the world and was produced with various flavors that were given certain sweeteners so that many people could enjoy it.
Known as ‘the tea of immortality.” people have come to love kombucha tea because it promises longevity and well-being. In addition, this tea is gaining more and more followers because of its high content of vitamins, especially vitamins of the B group, probiotic properties, and much more.
You can consume kombucha tea alone as a refreshing drink with other beverages, combined with fruit juice, or as an ingredient in salad dressings. It has a slightly sweet and sour taste and creates a tingling sensation in the mouth. The longer the tea is fermented (up to 4 weeks), the taste will be reminiscent of vinegar. To achieve a sweeter taste, the fermentation period should be shorter (5-10 days).

10 Health Benefits Of Kombucha Tea
Kombucha tea contains antioxidants, a little alcohol, sodium sugar, B vitamins, and probiotics. Based on these properties, it is believed that it has a number of benefits for the health of the body. According to research results as well as several studies, the various benefits of kombucha tea for the body are as follows:
Maintain A Healthy Digestive System
Contains Antioxidants
Helps Prevent Cancer Cell Growth
Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
Helps Overcome Depression
Helps Maintain Weight
Get The Benefits Of The Vitamin Content In It
Balance Blood PH
Boost Immunity
Useful In The Management Of Diabetes
1. Maintain A Healthy Digestive System
Many teas tend to cause gastritis, among other ailments. Fortunately, kombucha tea does not fall into this category and is the exception to the rule. This is because kombucha tea contains gastro-protective property known as probiotics, which have the ability to balance out the good bacteria in the gut so that it can treat several digestive problems.
These bacteria are not harmful to health. In fact, their function is based on facilitating and increasing the digestion of food by the digestive system reducing the likelihood of ailments such as gas and abdominal distension. It also decreases painful gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease by reducing the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
In addition, a study published examined the microbial components of kombucha and identified a large population of lactobacilli in the desk. Lactobacillus is a common type of probiotic, so it makes sense that kombucha can stabilize the digestive tract and help prevent and treat various digestive problems such as:
• Constipation
• Bloated
• Inflammation of the intestine
• Irritable bowel syndrome
It should be noted, however, that it should not be ingested by people with irritable bowel syndrome specifically caused by bacterial overgrowth. In this case, Kombucha tea will only make the symptoms worse.

2. Contains Antioxidants
Another of the many components that Kombucha offers are antioxidants, substances that fight the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are chemicals that affect molecules in your body until they oxidize and kill them. This is why they are called antioxidants.
Oxidation of molecules can lead to various alterations in DNA or accelerate the aging of the individual. And if you think that’s not enough, antioxidants can also reduce liver poisoning by 70% from consuming mildly toxic chemicals from many drinks.
In short, antioxidants are beneficial for health. Kombucha tea has many antioxidant bodies, especially when combined with green tea. It is considered to be even more beneficial to your overall health than kale and other supposedly magical foods.
3. Helps Prevent Cancer Cell Growth
You might not believe it, but kombucha tea is also used to prevent cancer, or in the worst case, fight it. Its effect is that cancerous tumors are often associated with high concentrations of reactive oxygen. These species include oxygen ions, free radicals, and peroxides. Finally, molecules that promote the formation of an oxidative stress microenvironment noticeably damage the cells of your body.
All of this leads to metastasis of the tumor and the production of cancer cells. But luckily, the components and substances in kombucha tea help fight oxidative molecules. Antioxidants, vitamins, and probiotics fight inflammation of the tumor and stop its possible development.
In addition, kombucha tea contains glyceric or saccharic acid, Polyphenols, lactic acid, and vitamin C, which also serves to prevent cancer risk.
4. Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Impaired heart function increases the risk of stroke or heart attack. However, the adoption of a healthy lifestyle is an effective way to prevent these two cardiovascular diseases. These healthy lifestyle practices include a healthy diet that is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, exercise, and not to forget, consuming kombucha tea.
Several studies have proven that kombucha tea improves low and high-density lipoproteins, which are always linked to the causes of heart disease. These lipoproteins are linked to cholesterol, their passage through the arteries, and their subsequent elimination. They are important for the regulation and control of lipid (fat) levels in the blood.
Increasing the production levels of these lipoproteins will not completely prevent heart disease, but it will better regulate cholesterol. This way, it reduces the chances of contracting these diseases. However, further medical research is still needed to strengthen the claims of the benefits of kombucha tea on this one.
5. Helps Overcome Depression
Depression symptoms vary from person to person but can include general feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Also, depression can cause problems such as poor concentration, insomnia, and low energy.
Drinking kombucha tea can be one way to deal with the depression that is being felt. This drink may provide some relief and help boost your mood by increasing the production of hormones such as serotonin.
In addition, it is high in vitamin B12, which is known to increase energy levels and contribute to general mental well-being.
6. Helps Maintain Weight
Kombucha tea helps to lose weight because it regulates appetite. Probiotics can encourage the production of leptin and insulin hormones related to satiety. So it is possible that you will not feel exaggerated hunger and reduce your diet naturally.
Also, kombucha can be a great alternative if you enjoy soda or juice but are looking for a drink with fewer calories and less sugar to lose or maintain weight. Sugar contains a lot of empty calories, and if consumed in excess, there is a risk that more calories are stored, which can lead to weight gain.
However, note that it is not sugar-free. This is because most of the sugar is fermented, but some are still there. Even so, this drink may only have 6 to 8 grams of sugar per cup.
Lastly, kombucha also helps to inhibit fat storage in your body; therefore, it helps to speed up metabolism and prevents fats from accumulating in different parts of the body. As everything is made with natural ingredients, the refreshment offers probiotic qualities, similar to those found in yogurts and kefir, which help the functioning of the intestine. It is also rich in vitamins, nutrients and also has enzymes that aid digestion.
7. Get The Benefits Of The Vitamin Content In It
Kombucha is known to contain vitamin B complex and vitamin C—that way. When you drink it, you will also get the benefits contained in vitamin B complex and vitamin C.
By getting vitamin B complex, the body will maintain cell health by helping in the production of red blood cells, maintaining healthy nerve function, maintaining heart health, maintaining brain function, and the benefits of other B complex vitamins.
Also, you can get the benefits of vitamin C. Vitamin C plays a role in maintaining a healthy body and maintaining immune function.
8. Balance Blood PH.
Drinking kombucha tea can also help balance the pH of your blood. The drink itself, after fermentation, has an acidic pH (around 3). This is also the level that research and studies consider ideal for the greatest number of beneficial substances to thrive in tea (acids, amino acids, vitamins, and etc.) that contribute to the health of our body.
But despite being acidic, kombucha balances acid-alkaline levels harmonizing the body’s pH and thus contributing significantly to the health of your blood.
The ideal is that the pH level in the blood is at least 7.4. Generally, children are more alkaline, and the elderly are more acidic. Studies show that if the pH falls below 7 4. a door is opened for the proliferation of bacteria and viruses. Cancer patients, for example, have their saliva pH measured between 4.5 and 5.7.
Now, if you’re trying to make Kombucha Tea, watch the video below.
9. Boost Immunity
Although a lot of research for kombucha focuses on its benefits for the digestive system (which in itself helps boost immunity), there is also some fairly well-confirmed evidence that it contains powerful antioxidants and can help detoxify the body and protect it from the disease. This is because, according to research, most of the immune system is found in the gut, which is about 70 percent.
Therefore, the key to a strong immune system is optimal gut health. The fermented bacteria in kombucha can boost immunity because of the good bacteria that will always keep the intestine healthy. This means that by improving the digestive process in your intestines, your immune system will be strengthened.
But besides the gut, there are many components of kombucha that boost your immune system. Probiotics give your body the energy it needs to fight off harmful molecules. In addition, kombucha tea contains vitamin C, which is useful in combating inflammatory diseases, tumors, and cell damage.
10. Useful In The Management Of Diabetes
The next benefit of kombucha tea is to control blood sugar levels, especially in diabetics. This tea can inhibit B-amylase, a protein in the pancreas that is responsible for higher postprandial glucose levels after meals.
Also, due to the functions of the antioxidants it contains, it appears to help relieve symptoms of diabetes in research studies using animal subjects and more effectively than the anti-diabetic black tea it is derived from. This seems to be especially true when it comes to liver and kidney function, which is generally poor for people with diabetes.
More research is needed, but findings suggest that kombucha tea could one day be used as a complementary treatment for diabetes, in addition to traditional approaches such as weight loss. diet, exercise, oral medications, and insulin therapy
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many benefits of kombucha tea. You can ferment it yourself, but the process must be carefully monitored to prevent the growth of the wrong bacteria. Kombucha is now also available in more and more shops. Pay close attention to any unwanted chemical additives. It is a drink with which you can vary a lot in terms of taste and even marinate dishes.

We continue our tradition of pushing the limits of our local Burger King staff’s kindness by ordering a double Whopper topped with around 80 bucks worth of pickles.
Sometimes, as a web-based writer, when a good news story doesn’t come to you, you’ve just gotta go out and make one yourself. For us here at RocketNews24, more often than not, that means annoying the staff at our local Burger King by taking the chain’s “Have it Your Way” slogan to ludicrous extremes. To date, we’ve ordered Whoppers with 1,000 slices of cheese, 100 slices of onions (gross), and 1,000 slices of bacon. 1,000 burger patties seemed a little extreme, even for us — and remember we’re the people who bought US$10,000 worth of scratch lottery tickets basically for the lulz — so the next logical choice this time out seemed to be ordering the poor Burger King staff to top our burger with nearly a hundred bucks’ worth of pickles.
What could possibly go wrong?
Once we determined which topping we’d go all out on this time, we very nearly sent over one of our Japanese writers straight away to order up the monstrous pickle burger in person. But, we had a last second change of heart, realizing the apocalyptic amount of pickles we were planning to order could very well put the store out of pickles for days to come, resulting in the other hungry masses being forced to consume bland, pickle-free Whoppers. Our consciences just wouldn’t allow that, so we called to place the order in advance.
On the phone with the store’s manager, we were told the retailer couldn’t “vouch for the flavor” but assured us they possessed pickles in abundance and could fulfill the order if we really, really wanted it. Which, of course, we did, because anything worth doing is worth overdoing to a ridiculous and dangerous extreme.
A couple of hours later, we put aside thoughts of how we had almost certainly caused several teenage Burger King employees to hit the absolute nadir of their food service industry experience, and traipsed over to get a look at our prize. The resulting burger, topped with around 9,000 yen (US$75-80) in pickles, was hefty, to say the least — we’d later find it weighed a whopping (hahahahaha, sorry…) 1.7 kg. It was so huge and bulky that the hapless staff members charged with packing up the thing had to sort of just tape together a bunch of standard wrappers. And, since pickles are one of the more moist toppings on a burger, the over 700 slices of pickles adorning our burger had already soaked through all those wrappers, turning the whole package into a wet mess right out of the gates.
Obviously, the towering almost-entirely-pickles-Whopper was far too big to eat like a regular burger, so the whole sad, mutated mass had to be disassembled and eaten piecemeal by everyone in the office — so basically, one guy ended up just eating a regular Whopper and everyone else walked away with hundreds of pickles. Which begs the question, if we can’t even eat these ridiculous concoctions of ours as they’re intended, why even bother with all this?
Well, because, what are we going to do? Not order a Whopper containing almost a thousand pickles? Hahahahaha, now that would just be silly…
