When you drink as much as I do, it is just a delivery vehicle for caffine. ← Chef, your post got this long time lurker to finally post. I absolutely share your sentiment and philosophy regarding caffine. You guys think Starbucks and Seattle's Best is bad? At our college office, we pour Costco!!! beans into our Saeco just for the convenience. And I add cold water to it to make my lukewarm black Americano so I can down it in one go. I have to keep this a secret or our students will riot. Forgive me God. And Chef thanks very much for the hanger's beef, my wife cooked it with a nice peppercorn sauce last week it was lovely. And she had the cut my way as well. I personally prefer a nice thick cut over the now very common sliced cut (whatever you call it, same thing at Lumiere's Bar, Le Crocodile, etc.). And you're right, lots of blood indeed. Which reminds me I have to get some cooking brandy today. Everyone be forewarned, do expect lots of meaningless and silly posts from this food addict.
