  1. Thanks for sharing all this Kerry!
  2. TLC plates....a big part of my life at one time.
  3. Eater = listicles and factlets clickbait mostly
  4. Whilst considering the Cuisinart Steam Oven I came across the new model of the esteemed BSO. It has an oven light and a long cook setting and a keep warn setting. If only there was steam. http://smile.amazon.com/Breville-BOV845BSS-Convection-Toaster-Element/dp/B00XBOXVIA/ref=pd_sbs_79_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VFNNEKTXZ58GEB8Y7Y9&dpID=418wNeApqXL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_
  5. Isn't about that time of year for another TC? But I don't see it scheduled.
  6. Like Lewis and Clark.
  7. We'll need a full report with illustrations....
  8. I don't think he does. He could have been lied to himself. He said the problem was distribution and that Amazon had thousands of copies. I would bet Amazon is lying for some reason. Kenji has proven over the years to be a straight shooter.
  9. I 've glanced at this place when going to LM. I'll have to try it
  10. I just asked Kenji about the shortage of books. He said Amazon has a zillion copies in stock.
  11. Got mine from Amazon a couple weeks late.
  12. Ruhlman is wrong about food safety. He essentially denies that bacteria will grow in warm food, or long term in the fridge. And yet he lives, because the low probability problem hasn't come up. Yet.
  13. We ate at The House of Wm. and Merry tonight. In my mind it counts as a Chesco restaurant because its only a mile into DE. Great meal as usual. The chef's tasting app board had some nice charcuterie and pickled stuff as a starter, pork loin with celeriac puree was lovely , as was the trout. The waitress was an chummy dipshit (this isn't Applebee's) but she got the food out. I do love this place. No excuse for going so infrequently.
  14. my choice is http://smile.amazon.com/Prepworks-Progressive-Chopper-Non-Skid-Base/dp/B00833DQCU/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1444771801&sr=1-1&keywords=nut+chopper
  15. Not knowing what you don't know is always dangerous; especially with uncommon events. Lets say the risk of botulism from garlic oil is 1 in 500 (I'm making that up). You could make many many batches and feel more confident with each one before the lethal one was made.

  17. Agree with above. And there is an issue with how long it is safe even after being refrigerated. This is the kind of thing that one could get away with for years and years before the wrong bacteria gets to growing.
  18. Amazing guy. As far as I know he's never been a head chef anywhere. Odd considering he's done everything else.
  19. To me, a restaurant has many tables with waitstaff, chairs, a menu and metal cutlery.
  20. Cheesesteak and restaurant don't usually go together. There may be a few tables, but the thing is meant to be 'to go'.
  21. Agree on the importance of the roll, though Amoroso isn't the only good one. Liscio and Serpe and others are great and maybe better than amoroso which can be a little soft. Wiz is the classic taste, but American slices don't ruin it. Re the beef, to me its more how it is cooked and sliced than the particular cut. And ketchup is a good addition. I read somewhere that two slices of pizza have more fat than a cheesesteak. I can believe this. When were you at Penn? '73 to 86 for me.
  22. Booze that lowers cholesterol too?
  23. Was the juice red to begin with? If not, two red organisms come to mind... Serratia and Rhodotorula.
