Chef Way Austin's The Mighty Cone food trailer has become famous for its Hot-and-Crunchy Cones: fried chicken coated in an ingenious mix of cornflakes, slivered almonds and sesame seeds, then wrapped in a tortilla with a mango-jalapeƱo slaw and a spicy ancho "paint."
Slicing carrots with a vegetable peeler transforms them into pasta-like ribbons. Cook them with peas and a pat of butter for unexpectedly luscious results.
