Basic homemade chicken salad on a real sesame seed bagel.

Where’s Lunchman when you need him?

The worst part about vacationing and not wanting to eat in the restaurant is not being able to get too fancy with your takeout order.

Had brisket on Sunday (which was excellent and didn't get too soggy in the container), but "settled" for a fried seafood platter instead of broiled yesterday, as I can't see any reason why the broiled food wouldn't just steam itself in the container during transport.

Considering the fried fish is actually cooked by steam once the breading it set, I'm not sure how that isn't a net-zero tradeoff.

It wasn't soggy or spongy, which is what i assume I would've gotten from broiled.

If you knuckleheads keep this up, you're going to force me to rage quit for a week.

You can return as trilby.

coulda eat the steamy container where all the flavor went

Grabbed a boil from a local restaurant when we were in Emerald Isle last week. Drank the liquid in tif’s honor.

Chef’s Table:BBQ dropped on Netflix last week.

It’s about the people who BBQ more than the BBQ itself.

First episode focuses on Tootsie an 85-year old pitmaster from Texas.

I saw that last night... might have to watch that this weekend.

I watched three episodes last night. Did not care for the second person...though a few in here will worship him.

The Australian dude? From the trailer and Netflix auto play clip I got immediate Dan Barber/Francis Mallman ****** baggery from that dude.

That’s the one.

As expected. YOU’RE COOKING FOOD YA **** SMACK, NOT SPLITTING THE ATOM.

So **** pretentious.

This Tootsie episode is fantastic. What a wonderful, humble, down to earth woman. Following this up with the pretentious shitbag is gonna be rough.

It’s like slamming a car into reverse while driving 70 down the highway.

I know that’s not possible on most cars, I’m just speaking metaphorically.)

I haven't seen any of the new Chef's Table episodes yet, but the Aussie dude you knobs are bagging on worked for years at a Basque restaurant called Asador Etxebarri, which is currently ranked as the 3rd best restaurant in the world. When Tony Bourdain visited that restaurant 10+ years ago, he was the guide/translator for what Bourdain called (at the time) the best meal of his life, which he consumed standing in the kitchen using plastic tasting utelsils. Guy's good at cooking.

You can be good at cooking and still be a non-enjoyable person to watch on the TV.

Of course. Take me, for example.
