Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 70

I’m not allowed to eat good food??

 

Pappardelle w/ braised beef short rib. Also the fry bread + burrata.

 

grimace can do as he pleases.

 

Maybe I'm just used to green tea and matcha flavored things but those key lime donuts look great to me!

 

Hadn’t had spaghetti and meatballs in ages so I made some with beyond meatballs and basil from my garden

 

“From my garden” ok fancy

 

To be fair it’s a little planter box and I’m dealing with mites now lol

 

My in person interview went extremely well with the GM so now I only have one more interview with hotel management (it’s in a four seasons). My waitstaff to next level chef contestant 10 year plan is almost underway

 

Did a white sauce with asparagus, chicken, and then bacon thrown on top

 

Looks delicious, hell yeah on adding bacon to it

 

I ate some pepperonis from the bag today

they weren't even mine, they were my sisters

 

I do that frequently heh

 

"I went to a Bay Area Buffalo Wild Wings to conquer its all-you-can-eat deal"

The type of shit I’ve been on, braised short ribs w/ a red wine sauce. Got myself my first Dutch oven and don’t think I’ve had short ribs so felt like I had to make them. This is after like 3 hrs in the oven. About a 3 day process but so worth it. The smell taking over my apartment is killing me. Finally get to eat them tonight.

 

Looks amazing!

 

Not the prettiest but final results from dinner tn. I made a roasted cauliflower/broccoli purée in place of a starch and blended in the fat that separated from the braising liquid when it cooled overnight. Those came out pretty dang good but holy crap the beef was perfection. Like butter honestly. Very happy with these so I’m definitely gonna keep up with braising.

 

Wow, great job my man. Was that from a recipe or your own concoction?

 

Dude that looks incredible. I'd pay 25 bucks for that

 

Highest I’d go is $24.95

 

I really just took some basic recipes I found online for the time, temp, main ingredients and just edited them to my liking tbh! Nothing major but some things I added were jalapenos and garlic when cooking down my mirepoix, a bundle of thyme, parsley, and bay leaves for the braising liquid, as well as coriander seeds (which I wouldn't recommend if you actually wanna use the mirepoix veggies in your dish after straining them)

 

I made risotto which is the first time I've ever eaten it and it's pretty bomb

 

Made knock off crunch wraps the other day and they were dope.
- Hot mexican chorizo
- Nacho cheese (just frito lays, nothing fancy)
- Tostados
- Made a sour cream blend with cilantro / lime / garlic as the chorizo was a little spicy.




Also made some mac and cheese (not perfect, but pretty good) that I ate like a child with some hot honey buffalo tenders.

 

Made some chicken cutlet sandwiches with caramelized onions, bacon, pickle, and spicy mayo and some cheese balls. Burned one of the cutlets. Onions were great takes forever tho

 

Looks good. And yea, caramelized onions take forever to get them really rich and deep. I make french onion soup a good bit in the winter and it's definitely a patience game.

 

Why does every bagel place refuse to give you not an absurd amount of cream cheese. I legit told them to go very easy on it lol I can't imagine what this one would have been otherwise. Hardly can see the bacon haha
