Oh, Anna, I wish you were there too! Had a great time with Kerry. Now I have to come up to Canada, so you two can convince my husband of the beauty of SV :))

P.S.: Kerry, the bread really deflated, tiny crumbs, but still good flavor!

WOW Franci, I'm with Anna.  I know I'd pick your cooking hands down.  Looks SO good.

I think you might have actually enjoyed the eggplant thingy!

 

 

Shame about the bread!  

 

Anna - our mission, if we choose to accept it - is to come up with a sous vide preparation for something (perhaps a cut of meat he won't normally touch) that Franci's husband has to admit is better than not sous vide. It's got to be one of those where it is more than the sum of it's parts I think. 

I vote boneless chicken breast or pork tenderloin.  The SV'ing, imo, makes either amazing.

Skipped jb prince and headed back to the fancy food show 

 

 

big honking thing of truffles

Id also suggest boneless turkey Br. and you bone out yourself.

 

a chuck roast that looks like its more or less a single muscle with some marbling 

 

these you then SV, for beef are rare as possible, turkey and CkBr   140 0r so

 

then use them for thin sliced meats for sandwiches, or thicker cuts for Salads etc during the warmer months.

 What an incredible meal you had with Franci and family.  Given the choice between that and 11 Madison Park I know which would've got my vote (except for that egg plant thingy)!  

I'm with you on that one. (Well, almost. I'm fine with eggplant.) I have no doubt a meal at 11 MP would make my head spin but there's really nothing like a good family meal.

I think I would have appreciated both meals but in different contexts. The EMP meal looked wonderful, even if the actual tasting of a few of them was not exemplary. But that meal falls into the Western fine dining - Western haute cuisine sphere where great resources are brought to bear on the meal.  Franci's meal looked very appealing but it is in a different context, that of a home-environment (with elegant and lovely touches, but of course).  They are not directly comparable, even if nowadays there is a lot of grey area between both spheres in some circumstances.  (I would hope that Franci does not take this the "wrong way" – I think what was shown of the spread she laid out was excellent and illustrative of her skill)

[Deryn]

I would have loved to have the chance to experience an EMP meal but if I had to choose between the two opportunities, I would rather have gone to Franci's house for that amazing dinner! Kerry was extra lucky not to have to choose.

Two years later - on my way back to NYC for the FCIA on Saturday. Decided to post in this thread rather than start a new one.

 

I have @Alleguede with me this trip - so if a brief break is required to smuck him upside the head - bear with me. 

 

Kind of slim pickings in the lounge for someone who is trying to eat low carb - it certainly doesn't make for a pretty picture - but here you go.

 

Boarding starts in about half an hour.

The timing of this trip prompts a somewhat unrelated question. Has your annual summer trip to Manitoulin to work at the clinic been delayed or are you not going this year?

Nah - tomato juice. Too early in the day for booze both for AC and for me!
