Excellent photos making me hungry. I love corned beef hash especially if it's homemade. I make a mean CBH myself.

I wasn't too familiar with corned beef hash before moving to Connecticut. I've tried it at a few different places. The best I've had so far has been at the Cromwell Diner:

They also do a chorizo hash, and I love chorizo, but it just tasted off to me somehow:

Here's Mitchell's on Main's take. I wasn't too impressed by it. Maybe I just don't like crusty hash:

I liked the Olympia Diner's even less. Very mushy:

I wasn't sure what condiment to use, but ketchup turned out to work very well. Liberal amounts of it helped lift up the last two.

Michael-
Oh, that corned beef at McBob's looks great. It is so different from any other corned beef I have had, it is almost like a completely seperate dish.

New England definitely is hash central, but Milwaukee -- a great corned beef city -- also has what I consider to be some of the best corned beef hash anywyere, at McBob's. It is as luscious as they come.

As a native New Englander living in hash-deprived central Ohio I am well aware of the "not so much" part.

I share your pain on this but I did discover a place in Westerville called The Best Breakfast and Sandwiches that makes their own corned beef. It was featured on that PBS about breakfast and I finally made it there a couple of weeks ago. The hash was really good and they do fry it up pretty well. You get a ton of it. Though since it is really large chunks I can't say that it got really crispy like some of the other ones shown here. There is a picture on this review done by a local blogger ( I beleive he was also featured in that PBS special):

Can't wait to do this on my new 36" Blackstone Griddle. Looks great

Academy Sports has this griddle on sale this week for $199.99. Might be the deal of the year. Picked one up and was very lucky to get it. They are very hard to find.

Amazon.com has the 36" Blackstone Griddle Top for $98.97 and free shipping!

I think they don't know how to serve corned beef hash.

Next time tell them how you want it.

Good Idea Mr H..it really was outstanding as far as amount of meat -potato mixture except for that all important last step...this place though is kind of foo foo- has a chef instead of a cook- if they balk ,I'll walk...We have another breakfast place in town where the chef refuses to serve ketchup because his dishes `do not need condiments'...I decided his plave does not need me , thoughI have heard there is a brisk biz in black market ketchup packets in the parking lot!

had some his morning at a place called taylors kitchen here...a great big bowl of perfectly cooked corned beef with tender potatos but they did not grill the whole mixture before serving..it was a big bowl of corned beef and potatos- I like mine crusty from the grill- what do ya'll think?

Without the crusting, hash has no character. Plus, the crusting carmelizes the hash, bringing out some nice sweetness.

Without the crust it's dog food.........

My thoughts exactly!

It was I. It's a long, long story, but the fact is, I was having an English muffin one morning in the Yankee Doodle Coffee Shop in New Haven before school and I thought, "Y'know, if you were to top each half of this thing with Canadian bacon, and then top both slices of the Canadian bacon with poached eggs, that would be great." And then I thought, "Wait just a darned minute. How 'bout napping the whole thbing with a sauce -- maybe Hollandaise. Yeah, that's it." But then I had to head off to Hillhouse for my first class and someone stole my idea, added a slice of black truffle atop the Hollandaise, and that was that.

About that time, I was tossing the football with an "Old friend John" from Hyannis Port. I yelled at him, and asked if he was a resident, he yelled back, did you say President. I said, yah right, like that would ever happen...............

Best homemade Corned beef hash I have had in years was in Jackson Hole, Wy. It was at a Boutique Hotel that included breakfast, named the Rusty Parrot. Nothing like homemade Hash, they also had a Eggs Benedict served on a croissant, much better than a English muffin....I don't know who came up with the english muffin idea in the first place...pnwc

Corned beef has seems to predominate in New England. It's almost always homemade and on the menu at diners and places that specialize in breakfast. Elsewhere, not as much.

Voss? Oh, just someone purporting to be charming.

Re:corned beef hash (joerogo)

Gotta be crispy, and preferably homemade.

Who is this Voss person that you mention?

Ah, examining your inner subterranean self.

I hope there is Lobster and Clams in the Subterranean, I'm missing Lobster rolls and fried clams. I need to make a trip next year

I was planning to go this year. There's still a chance it might happen -- I hope.

Of course you realize this gives Voss another shot at men who are older than he is, and at Connecticut.
