Steps:
- For the chicken tenders: Place the flour, eggs and crushed tortilla chips into 3 separate shallow bowls or pie plates.
- Dredge the chicken tenders one at a time into the flour, shaking to remove excess. Then dip in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off and then dredge in the crushed chips, pressing to coat. Place on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining tenders.
- Heat enough oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a large heavy-bottomed straight-sided skillet. When the oil is hot (a bit of flour will sizzle and bubble up) slip the chicken tenders, 4 at a time, into the hot oil. Fry until the outside is crisp and the inside is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a spider to a wire-rack-lined-baking sheet.
- For the buffalo sauce: Put the butter in a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper. Remove from the heat.
- For the sandwich: Preheat a panini press. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread a couple of tablespoons of ranch dressing onto each side of the bread. Add a layer of sliced tomato on one half of the bread. Dip each tender into the buffalo sauce, flipping to coat, and then place 3 or 4 pieces in a single layer on the tomatoes. Top with pickles and lettuce. Top with the other half of the bread. Place into the panini press, close and cook until the outside is toasted. Remove and slice in half.

CHEF JOHN'S LOCO MOCO
This amazing Hawaiian comfort food classic is made by topping rice with a fried burger, which is then smothered with a rich, brown gravy and finished with a fried egg. Seriously, how did it take until 1949 for someone to think of this combination? We all get hangry sometimes, so whether you're a broke student or an older professional who just wishes you were, this cheap, filling bowl of goodness is the perfect solution. Garnish with green onions.

Steps:
- Season patties with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- Whisk beef stock, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, ketchup, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patty in the hot skillet until a browned crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip; toss in green onions and cook the other side until both beef and onions are browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove patty and most of the green onions to a plate.
- Pour beef stock mixture into the skillet. Stir, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and reserve gravy until needed.
- Melt remaining butter in another skillet over medium heat. Add eggs to the skillet and fry side-by-side until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
- Divide rice between 2 serving bowls. Place patties over the rice, spoon gravy on top, and add the fried eggs.
