I did an entree for a while that was pork ribs, cole slaw and potato salad, the potato salad was new potatoes tossed with housemade whole grain mustard (1 part mustard seeds, 1 part vinegar, 1 part white wine, soak 3 days or until seeds are plump and absorb most of the liquid, blend roughly in Vitamix until about half the seeds are cracked), good evoo, parsley, chives, salt and pepper, and we'd regularly get told it was the best potato salad the customer had ever had.

You’re a killer chef, but I’d hope you still feel joy when I tell you I had a super bomb dinner last Wednesday at your spot (bread, oysters, scallops, roasted carrots, Caesar salad, and hanger steak). It was so good dude. Literally my only nitpick is the fried polenta with the scallops was like a mm too thick. The drat potatoes with the steak were otherworldly. Who feels nice now? Yea that’s what I thought punk.

That was a deep fried Chinese dim sum daikon cake

Also I saw you right when you left and was gonna come out and say hi and also told your server to tell me when cool people come in.

Also I wasn't making a dig at dino at all I just chuckled at the thought of a successful cookbook author being tickled that someone wanted his cooking advice

Shameless self plug:
https://slice.seriouseats.com/2011/04/top-this-thomas-hill-organics-carrot-pizza-how-to-make-carrot-pizza.html

Those are my hands and the back of my head!

I created that pizza after someone asked if we had vegan cheese and I was like "is that even a real thing?" I later learned that it was technically a real thing but I challenged myself to make a vegan pizza without fake bullshit that was also good.

Fun story: I had a pretty good beard going and the owner told me she wanted me to shave it before the article/photoshoot. I told her if she made me shave I was going to give myself a grotesque handlebar mustache. She said "no you wont." I said "bet?"

And that's why there are no pictures of my face in the article.

Also fun fact: I ran the pizza oven 5 days, whole place closed 1 day a week, and on the 7th day they used the prep from that pizza to make vegan tacos because they didn't staff or train anyone else to make pizzas. Seven years after I was fired they opened a new location down the street from my current job. Opening menu had vegan carrot and black lentil tacos.

I loving hate food and drink competitions, honestly.

They either list rules and then don't do anything to people who don't follow the rules, or don't list rules and arbitrarily do poo poo like that. The judges are always either random idiots or local industry people who arent impartial.

My work just entered a cocktail competition that said it had to be all locally sourced ingredients (we have like 5 or 6 local distilleries), made our own bitters and poo poo and then the winner was a drink that had an amaro from Italy in it.

I entered another cocktail contest one time that said it was supposed to showcase the "chemistry" of cocktails and we were one of the only teams who made any of our ingredients at all, the winner at that one was some stupid layered beverage because density.

If the only issue is hardening, you can vacuum seal for a couple months and moisture will equalize

Hey GWS: I’ve got a whole pork tenderloin defrosting in the fridge, the gently caress should I do with it?

The way you're saying "a whole pork tenderloin" confuses me, usually they are 1-2 pounds... I'd just season it with salt and a spice rub, get a pan hot and sear it all the way around, then finish in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until the center temps 125F, then rest it for 8 mins under foil.

Welcome back! May I recommend An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler? I picked it up after she got Twitter roasted for having a custom forged https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/dining/alice-waters-egg-spoon-me-too-movement.amp.html given to her by Alice waters.

It’s a phenomenal read, and the philosophy is very simple but elegant. I think it might be exactly where you’re headed.

Is it possible to criticize a silly overpriced gadget without being sexist? NY Times says no. I'll bet if you searched hard enough you could even find an NYT piece about how silly it is to buy a $300 immersion circulator without any mention of gender.

I'm just amused that Imperfect Foods is a thing.

We always had a deal at the bakery to buy a local orchard's b-grade apples for the stuff we needed fresh apples for, as they were better quality for the price than shipping stuff in. I know they sold the stuff below that grade off to local pig farmers and a cider maker.

I'm confused by your amusement, your intended use is literally what that service does, as a brokerage that doesn't involve direct contact to dozens of individual vendors just like normal produce companies work.

It's nothing new. It's a startup doing the 'what if we have a really good ad campaign for something that already exists and charge a premium'.

I've never examined their sales model, are they actually charging a premium for what they advertise as undesirable produce?

I tried adding anchovies to pasta e olio and it did not go well. The anchovies never really completed melted so the oil was very lumpy and a gross brown. The anchovie taste was overpowering. I used one tin. I’m not sure if I used too much or didn’t let it cook long enough or what but I ended up throwing the plate away heating up some canned pasta sauce and using the rest of the noodles like that.

Use less and also finely chop and lightly fry them in oil first too, maybe with a lil minced garlic
