Steps:
- Preheat oven to temperature on back of sack of fries and scatter them across a thin nonstick cookie sheet in a single layer. Cook fries according to package directions.
- Preheat a large griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat.
- Place chicken in a bowl. Separate out a handful of the parsley leaves and leave them whole. Chop the remaining and take half of the chopped parsley and place it in the bowl with the chicken. Add 3 cloves of the chopped garlic, a little less than half the total amount. Next, add 2 teaspoons or a palm full of paprika, about 2 teaspoon hot sauce and the zest of 1 lemon. Measure out a palm full then half again of the grill seasoning and add that to the chicken. Pour a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil around the inside of the bowl using a spatula. Mix the chicken and form 4 patties. Wash up and add the patties to the grill. Cook 5 minutes on each side.
- Place the chorizo above or alongside burgers. Try to weight the chorizo down to keep it from curling up by topping a plate or small skillet on the sausage and adding something heavy from your pantry like canned goods to weight it down. Cook sausage just 2 or 3 minutes on each side. It is already fully cooked, you're just crisping the edges and heating it through.
- Place the pimiento peppers and mayonnaise in a food processor and add the whole parsley leaves, the chopped onion, the zest of a lemon, 2 teaspoons hot sauce and a few pinches of salt. Turn the processor on and grind until the dressing is smooth and even.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over the shrimp or prawns, about 1 tablespoon then season them with a little coarse salt and drizzle them with EVOO. Grill the butterflied shrimp or prawns alongside the burgers, 2 minutes on each side, weighting them as you did the chorizo.
- Remove the patties and shrimp and add to the chorizo ¿ loosely tenting to keep warm. Drizzle rolls with extra-virgin olive oil and place cut side down on grill. Weight the rolls down and press to toast and char them on both sides.
- Melt butter together with remaining 4 cloves chopped garlic and 2 teaspoons sweet paprika over low heat until garlic sizzles in butter. Remove the fries from the oven and place in a large bowl. Add the chopped parsley to the bowl and pour the melted garlic butter over the fries then season with salt to your taste.
- Add chopped lettuce to roll bottoms then top with chorizo, chicken patty and shrimp. Slather the bun top with pimiento mayonnaise and set in place. Serve extra mayonnaise with fries for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat a mini (4-inch) round waffle maker.
- Mix the waffle mix with 2 cups water and the vanilla paste until there are no more large lumps; do not overmix. Let the batter sit while you prepare the sausage and eggs.
- Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to keep warm.
- Wipe out the skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and evenly yellow. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste and beat until well mixed. Add the eggs to the skillet and gently scramble. When the eggs are halfway done, sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, then stir to mix in and continue to cook until desired doneness, about 5 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and keep warm.
- Cook the waffles, spreading 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons batter into the waffle maker for each. Cook until the waffles are yellow, not golden, and still pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes per waffle. Transfer the waffles to a kitchen towel to steam and soften as done. (This should yield 16 to 20 waffles.)
- To assemble the waffle tacos, spoon about 2 tablespoons sausage, some crushed tortilla chips and 1 tablespoon eggs onto each waffle. Drizzle with the hot honey and serve immediately.
