This past spring break, a few friends and I headed south to Destin, Fla. and New Orleans. A friend had family that was riveted at the idea of feeding a bunch of Coloradoans some good old classic southern food. While the crawfish boils were out of this world and the seafood overall was to die for, I came back with only one recipe. A recipe I coined myself. And it’s pretty darn good.
What’s for dinner this week? Tuna Burgers.
