What are you eating/cooking?

[Cackalacky]

Giving this a try:

I ate something today from a chef who I know personally who cooks for a restaurant that opened this year and what I ate was very very delicious. It just impressed the heck out of me but it was something I have craved for some time. I would never divulge the recipe so the chef would always be protected for what he told me but it was wonderful (at least to me). Other restaurants are in real need of an attitude fix-now I'm sure of it. What I ate today was the best meal you could have from a restaurant.

Cool! I just realized in my haste last night that I messed up the oven temp. 375 not 325. Everything else is correct. I'm editing the original post now.

If you and Cack don't both confirm that you saw this I'm going to PM you. I don't want to be responsible for an undercooked meal.

confirmed.

I hope the carrots work out for you. The mushrooms are personally a favorite of mine so I'm interested to see how that goes.

Pleased the whole crowd... we will make it again... I added a bit more broth and wine on accident but it turned out really good... carrots would be recommended.

Thanks again bud.

North Korean Defectors try American BBQ for first time

I found this immensely interesting. Sharing.

 

[ACamp1900]

"Those American Bastards " made me smile... my best man is Korean... I LOVE Korean food. I can get lost in a Korean BBQ for hours... cool that they all basically liked it...

Also that chick that hated on my Carolina mustard sauce was hella cute.

Nope. I use this recipe:

1) Season six bone in skin on chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2) Put 8 ounces of chopped up bacon into a oven safe cold stainless steel pan. MEDIUM HEAT. You want the pan to be large and deep. The whole dish is going in here.
2) While that's going, dice 1/2 yellow onion, slice 2 shallots, quarter 10 button mushrooms.
3) Once the bacon is cooked crispy, remove but leave the bacon fat. Turn to MEDIUM HIGH HEAT. Put the chicken thighs in skin down and sear for 4-5 minutes. Turn over and sear the bottom for 4-5 minutes.
4) Preheat your oven to 375.
5) Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Drain all but a tablespoon of remaining bacon/chicken fat.
6) On MEDIUM OR MEDIUM LOW HEAT put in vegetables you previously chopped. Add salt. Scrap the shit out of the bottom of the pan with your stirring spoon. The vegetables should sweat and deglaze the pan, while soaking up the goodness.
7) Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of flour once the veggies have softened a bit. Cook the raw taste of the flour out for a minute or so. This should create a new lighter fond on the bottom of your pan.
8) Add 1 1/2 cup of red wine. Again scrap the fond that's formed on the bottom of your pan. Increase to HIGH HEAT and reduce for a bit. While that's happening, put in your cooked bacon and some thyme sprigs if you have them.
9) Add a cup of chicken broth. Nestle the chicken thighs back in the pan.
10) Put the whole pan in your preheated oven for an hour, braising midway through. I usually clean up my prep and get drunk on the red wine in the meantime.
11) Once removed from.the oven, remove the chicken thighs, reduce on your stovetop and skim off the fat. There will be quite a bit of fat. Also remove the thyme sprigs.
12) Taste and season the sauce appropriately. Get on your computer and rep Grey for bringing this into your life.
13) Serve the chicken thighs with some generous scoops of your sauce and veggies. Eat a light salad with it because this is a rich dish.

*marinate chicken and/or mise in red wine night before

Basically, we cook it the same. great winter dish! reps

I wasn't lying,... I'm officially making this tonight with a couple adjustments. My wife is a typical Cali girl and she's scared to death of gluten... so subbing the flour for corn starch. Then mushrooms,... I'm not just a member of local, 'No fuck round with mushrooms' club, I'm the chapter president.... Soooo carrots instead of mushrooms.... I'm stoked tho, thanks for the recipe Grey.

I have a similar recipe to Grey's and it calls for mushrooms and carrots.

So good. Also the only edible thing on the Olive Garden menu. My wife has a pressure cooker recipe that'll do it in 15 minutes.

Made some homemade chilqulies with any ingredients I had on hand that made sense... just had to have some chiliqulies... tortillas, onions, tomato, black bean, lil green enchilada sauce, cheese....

Turned out really good for not having the official ingredient list on hand....

Scored some fresh whiting, mussels and clams yesterday. I am making some boulliabaisse for dinner.

My wife loves dishes like that, Cioppino is her fav but she likes them all...

I was going to buy this breakfast treasure:

Instead, I got Muesli. I think the Big Fundamental would approve of my choice.

Anybody doing anything good for the Super Bowl? My town has a legendary wings place, but you have to pick them up on Friday or you end up waiting for hours.

"The Dirt Style wings at J. Timothy’s can come in any flavor. What makes these uniquely delicious wings 'dirt style' is the cooking process. According to the menu, they’re 'sauced, fried, and sauced again, for a caramelized, crispier wing.'"

Buzzfeed: 22 Chicken Wings You Have To Try Before You Die

Thrillist: THE 21 BEST WING JOINTS IN THE COUNTRY

The Daily Meal: #2. J. Timothy's Taverne, Plainville, CT - America's 25 Best Buffalo Wings

Located in a building that’s well more than 200 years old, J. Timothy’s serves a full menu, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a table that doesn’t have a pile of chicken bones on it. Constantly rated the best in the state, J. Timothy’s serves more than 200 tons of wings per year, and invented what’s called the "Dirt Style" wing, where they get a dose of sauce both before and after they head into the deep fryer. Usually a recipe for an acrid, burnt-tasting wing, these guys have mastered the art form and the result is a depth of flavor that just doesn’t exist elsewhere.

My wing place is better than your wing place.

Looks good. No, I'm not doing anything special that I know of. I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch the game tbh. It's been about 4 years since I've bothered to watch a whole Super Bowl and though this year could be good, I'll probably end up seeing a movie or something.

First year in many I'm not hosting my college buddies for a SB Party... my mom is coming over tho, my wife is making buffalo cauliflower ( actually really freakin good), and honey brussel sprouts... I'm making my bison and poblano pepper chili (believe I shared it here before)... nachos, maybe some hot dogs.... typical SB finger foods and my wife's few healthy add ones...

I'm sure that's just a typo, but "Califlower" (prounounced Cali-flower) should totally be a brand name of recreational marijuana if it's not already.
