Food Thread: Shocking: People In The Restaurant Industry Are Just Like Those In Hollywood...Leftist And Serial Gropers (But I Repeat Myself)

reuben roast.jpg

The food industry is not immune to the #metoo movement, but in this case the schadenfreude is particularly delicious, because the highest-profile villian/victim is none other than arch-leftist and all-around-asshole Mario Batali. I have no doubt that some of the charges are true, and some are blatantly craven attempts at a big pay day. Do I care? Nope! I am really enjoying the specter of a fracking-hating, arch-feminist, meditating jerk getting raked over the coals. Those are the new rules croc-boy...enjoy them!

Of course the NYT article is a mess of conjecture and suggestion and supposition. This line struck me as particularly disjointed.

One woman, speaking publicly for the first time, told Anderson Cooper that in 2005 after kissing Mr. Batali at The Spotted Pig, the downtown restaurant co-owned by Mr. Friedman, she vomited and blacked out; at dawn, she said, she awoke with scratches on her leg and semen on her skirt.
Are we supposed to assume that she was drugged by the kiss? You know, the presumably consensual kiss...with her boss..who was married.

The industry is filled with ardent leftists, so if the #metoo movement burns it down I will happily watch, and cheer for both sides to lose.

The photo at the top is something called a "Pork Loin Reuben," and damn! It looks great. Commenter "artisanal'ette" sent it, along with the recipe that she found in a WSJ article. The chef is Steven Raichlen, who seems to know what he is doing, based on the TV shows I have seen. Yeah, not much of a sample.

Anyway, it's a long recipe, so I have linked it in a PDF for anyone who wants to see it.

******

Pork handles spicy and sweet really well, so this should be interesting, in spite of the slightly odd use of maple syrup which, as all of you know, should never be used with savory foods such as pork chops and French Toast. Maple Sriracha Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop
******

I like the rational take on cooking over at "Serious Eats," and this article is a good example. Rouxs are really useful ingredients for the amateur cook, because they are incredibly versatile...able to thicken sauces and stews as well as being a base for béchamel, one of my favorite ingredients. If you haven't made a grilled cheese with béchamel, then you just haven't lived. A Brief Guide to Roux

I have increased my consumption of gin martinis recently, for reasons known only to the drinking Gods. One of my many culinary quests is to discover the perfect ratio of gin to vermouth. Unfortunately I have found that my tastes change, so what was perfect last year (5:1) is too wet this year. Yes...the struggle continues.

37 >>Step on the dock and throw a yellow eye snapper filet to the cook or a wahoo or lobster is an unreal experience.

One of my favorite diners was a few years ago in Bermuda. A bunch of us went out on a tuna charter and crushed it. We caught 16 blackfin keepers. We gave most to the captain as a tip but we kept 4.

We took them back to our hotel which sadly is no longer in existence and the chef made us tuna sashimi as an appetizer followed by tuna with peanut sate sauce all served under a full moon at table overlooking the ocean.

Something about catching them yourself makes it taste so much better.

I think it's them, and "celebrity chefs." Chefs who are concerned with running their restaurant, and creating good food tend not to want to be rock stars. But Food Network has done their darnedest to make cooking food another form of acting. And to get in front of a camera, you have to have the correct creed.

On a completely different note, I am marinating salmon with fresh dill from my garden, along with pepper and Greek Olive oil. Hubby will grill and I will serve with dilled potatoes, Greek salad, and brown rice with pistachios and pine nuts for the kid who is allergic to potatoes.

It can't hurt to try it. Too many scotches are minimal proof and water can make them a mess. But if your Scotch has higher than 80 proof as it should, you can try it straight, then add a little bit of good water, and then try that after letting it sit a bit. The water can "open up" some more flavors; but don't go too far with it. Same goes with bourbon. At least most of the really good bourbons are above 80 proof so that is good. However, abv is not the only factor. Some whisks/whiskies respond well to a bit of water, others do not.

Posted by: Quint at May 27, 2018 04:27 PM (n13/j)

45 The correct ratio for a gin martini is 4 measures of chilled gin to one measure of whispering the word "vermouth" over it.

If you want to get fancy, you may also whisper the words "maple syrup" from across the room.

Best fish I ever had was on the outer banks. Camping, keeping a fire going, and anything we caught went into foil with some butter and was tucked in beside the coals. We'd eat when we caught something and keep going.

64 I had a special treat this week. The local Costco had one of their seafood shows when we happened by. I got a bag of mussels, farm raised and from Quebec, and a bag of little neck steamed clams. I haven't had good steamers in years although I grew up eating them. (Helps to be on an island.) I just steamed them in water and lemon and dipped them in a butter and lemon sauce. They were tender and sweet. Absolutely delish! And I had a mug of the clam broth to sip with the meal. I had forgotten how good that stuff is.

BTW, I had a Greek white wine with them. The slight retsina flavor with the citrusy, crisp taste was a good match for the shell fish.

That sounds awesome, but in my offshore days I found that tuna are one of the rare things that are better with a couple of days' rest. Same day tuna is a little mushy, it firms up and is better sashimi in a couple of days.

That said, standing in the kitchen dressing out a quarter at 23:00 having left home at 03:00 makes the scraps go really well with wasabi and gin and tonic.

67 Of all the chefs I have watched over various PBS stations, Lidia Bastianich, Mary Ann Esposito, Martha Stewart, Jaques Pepin, and the grilling guy are absolutely the best for a non-cook like me. Accessible is the word. No fancy ingredients or two-page recipes, just basic stuff. When I look at them cooking, I can see how to do it and think I might eventually be able to attempt something similar.

Of course, this aspirational admiration is also subject to my black thumb for gardening and black fingers for cooking.

Some of my best memories of 'jersey are setting the minnow trap at night, setting the crab traps out at dawn, then catching a load of flounder before noon. Then retrieving the crab traps, cleaning the flounder, steaming the crab, rolling the crab meat with the flounder and having flounder stuffed with crabmeat for dinner. Washed down with many adult beverages. Day after day.

It's a meal that is really difficult to get tired of.

I think that's one of the things that makes church (and moron) recipe books so valuable. Cooking is really simple, but you can build on it as you improve. So many people get scared away from the get-go, though, and it's a shame. Add to that the easy access to mostly edible meals and frozen dinners, and there's not much incentive.

Something about catching them yourself makes it taste so much better.+

105 I, too, am intrigued by the pork loin ruben since we are fans of rubens. Most recent riff on our recipe is the slighly spicy version of Russian dressing from "The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home" by Nick Zukin (recommended by Smitten Kitchen). It adds Worchestershire sauce and hot sauce to the traditional recipe. That's why I make it from scratch--well, that and how in the world am I going to use a whole bottle of Russian dressing?

For martinis, we are definitely of the "whisper vermouth" tribe. I've even tried buying the high-end vermouths but we still return to no more than a capful per round of martinis.

106 >>That sounds awesome, but in my offshore days I found that tuna are one of the rare things that are better with a couple of days' rest. Same day tuna is a little mushy, it firms up and is better sashimi in a couple of days.

We always bring along some wasabi when we go tuna fishing. Nothing like a little sashimi on board. Yum. E.

The key to good tuna is killing the fish as quickly as possible and then bleeding it. I've always found fresh tuna, as fresh as possible, to be my favorite.

I've had one for a couple of decades that is four round trays with a blow dryer that fits up through the middle. I love it and it makes lots of jerky and fruits and such. I doubt it was more than $40, if even that.

Jerky got to where it was more cost effective to buy it from Sams or the like unless I was just itching to have my own recipe. I'll have to check beef prices again next time I go out, because I bet Trump has managed to lower them, too. I'd love to start tinkering with recipes again.

112 The MSM always make a big deal out of the NYC chefs, because that's where THEY live and eat, but there are a whole lot of very good chefs in other parts of the country who are locally famous, if not nationally. One of my faves in the DFW area is Stephan Pyles, who's invented what he calls "Modern" Texas cuisine All I can say is, dining at his restaurant or attending one of his specialty dinners (he's quite a self promoter, and very funny) always leaves you thinking "wow, I haver NEVER eaten anything like that before!" (and it is always amazingly good)

Another is Tim Byre, who runs "Smoke" in Oak Cliff - one of Pyle's former sous chefs. He specializes in thick heavy smoky meats, his sauces really do taste like liquid smoke.

and 3rd on my list (but sometimes first) is Fort Worth's Jon Bonnell, with one restaurant on Sundance Square and another in the southwestern part of town. He absolutely adores wild game, believes in its flavor over anything else, and if you want elk, or venison, or bison, or wild caught fish of any kind (and that's just a sampling), then Bonnell's is the place you want to be.

I would stack any of those 3 up against any chef NYC has to offer.

But if your prime thing is making jerky on it I wouldn't waste my time with a dehydrator. I bought a pellet smoker and the jerky trays from Cabelas and never looked back and haven't used my dehydrator for over 3 years now for jerky.


Jerky from the pellet smoker is light years better than from the dehydrator for me.

I've been using some ceramic coating pans for a few years now but don't know of any warning like that with mine. I've used LOTS of oil, but YMMV, of course. Heck, any fat or butter = oil, and you're going to cook things with with fat and butter in them at some point. Grilled cheese, anyone?

If I had to guess I'd suspect it's an aesthetic thing. Different oils heat up differently and burn easier, and it might change the appearance of the coating if you display your pans by hanging.

Interesting question, though. It would be neat to know the manufacturers answer.

Did a little searching on this. Mostly read that they don't NEED oil to cook BUT you can use olive oil or butter but be mindful of their smoke points and cook at the right temp for the oil you use.

I have some of these pans and I've used oil/butter in them....if they're the pans I'm thinking of.

I also throw a popcorn kernel in oil to know when the pan is hot enough to start cooking, so I might not be the best one to consult regarding fancy/expensive pans.

We have so many food allergies in our family that it makes going to a restaurant a challenge. It's easier and safer to make our own food, so we don't risk someone getting sick. Plus, it's cheaper, and it tastes better.

I have to recommend the cookbook, because the recipes I have tried have all come out really good. There are varying degrees of difficulty, and you can always adjust to your needs/wants. If there are any of you out there who don't have one yet, seriously think about getting one. I can heartily recommend bluebell's bean and corn salsa, and weasel's broccoli slaw. So, so good!!!

166 The sulfites in wine, particularly red wine thing is a lot like the
gluten issue. In both cases there are people who are seriously
allergic and ingesting them is dangerous or at least bad for their
bodies in some way. But in the majority of people who think they are
affected, they are likely not. The poster who said communion wine made her stop breathing, that sounds pretty major to me. For those who say sulfites in red wine give them headaches, researchers don't think that is the cause. Could be histamines, tannins, or shocker, the alcohol lol.

Pretty
much every wine you buy in a store contains sulfites. This stabilizes
the wine so it doesn't go bad quickly. The funny thing is, a hell of a
lot of food products contain sulfites, not just wine. But people see
that info on the label, and think that is what got them. Yes winemakers
do add sulfites, but they also occur naturally in wine. And sweet
wines are higher in sulfites than dry reds.

There
are even people who spend time in Europe and say the wine there never
bothered them like the wine sold in the USA because it "didn't have
sulfites". Uh, no, the wine sold in Europe has the same amount, they
are just not required to put that on the label.

It might be why sous-vide beef slow-cooked for a couple of days is so awesome. The first time I opened the recipe book and it said cook for 1 to 3 days at 140 degrees I was hesitant. I mean 'days'? Is that a typo?

But the most inexpensive cut of beef becomes a delicious, flavorful, and tender delight under those conditions.

221 This past week's chicken-grilling experiment was a success. As you know, it is difficult to grill boneless, skinless chicken breasts without making them dry and tough. Well, I dry-brined them overnight and then tossed them with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

I made a small pile of briquettes on one side of the grill and browned the breasts on both sides over the briquettes. Then I set the breasts on the cool side of the grill with the lid on to finish cooking.

Even the pieces that reached 165+ degrees were tender and juicy.

Two things that revolutionized my cooking of meats - brining and a probe thermometer. I highly recommend them.

Probably have to go with Caprese salad, when both amazing tomatoes and amazing mozzarella are available to you. I just slice the tomatoes and mozzarella, lay them out, slightly overlapping, on a large plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with good olive oil, and tear up some fresh basil leaves and distribute the bits over the whole thing. I don't bother with vinegar, because the tomatoes generally have enough acidity, but if I did it would be Italian red wine vinegar.

309 When I worked as a bartender in college at a a couple of restaurants and what I witnessed as well with my gf/fiancee at the restaurants she worked at, it was driven by alcohol, drugs, hedonism with extra hedonism. It was fun and made the job worth it at the time.

I can't imagine the level of suckiness that the #Me Too movement has created for employees in the restaurant business. There is so much sexual tension working in that business, I feel bad for the men and women working there because the flirting norms, parties, and interactions have been destroyed. It's a stressful job and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before somebody goes postal.

MdeV -- No, I will disagree. Living in a Hispanic area, the idea of losing your maternal side identity is incomprehensible. For filthy Scandi/Irish, the cost in time, money, and loss of long-time status (voting, credit, degrees, etc) is something to be negotiated then decided. In the ancient old days (turn of the last century), formal speak was Mrs John Doe. Frankly, neither participant in a marriage had much, so changing a name was not an issue.

332 i never understood scotch until HRH took us to a tasting put on by the local upscale liquor store... now she wishes she never had.

they explained that the higher the ETOH content, the more the ETOH vapor/liquid shuts down both your olfactory and taste buds, thus denying you the whole flavor palate. adding ice does something similar, by reducing the temp of the flavor esters

so, try a sip neat, then add GOOD, room temp water, a little at a time (spoonful or less) swirling or gently stirring, until you hit your personal sweet spot, flavor wise.

368 Quick if I have the ingredients:

Leftover roast turkey or chicken, cubed
Al dente pasta with 1cup of pasta water
Low sodium canned Mushroom soup
Garlic powder and Soy sauce to taste
Sauteed, seasoned bread crumbs
Grated parm
Chopped parsely

Mix together, add to casserole dish, top with sauteed bread crumbs and parm. 350 for ~20min. Let cool. Add parsley.

Simple but with time:

2 - 3 lbs tri-tip
Kosher Salt and pepper
Crushed garlic
Mixed fresh herbs
French bread

Rub tri-tip with crushed garlic and season with kosher salt and pepper. Refridge for at least 1 hour and leave 20 min for resting at room temp before putting on the grill.

Heat up grill, clean, and oil down. Temp for 325 using cool/hot set up. Add wood for smoke. Spray tri-tip with water and add tri-tip to cool side when smoke is on. Cover grill.

Spray w/ H2O at 20min, flip, and add more bit wood if necessary. Cover grill. Flip again in 15.

Take temp of tri-tip at 75 min and 85 min. At 115 for rare, and 120 for medium, sear quickly on grill if you can get the hot side of the grill to super hot. Or sear quickly on the stovetop with oil.

Cover tri-tip with foil on a wire rack, and prep carving board with chopped herbs. Move to board on top of chopped herbs, carve, and serve on split french bread.

Um, no. In traditional Spanish nomenclature you drop the matrinomial at marriage anyway, keep the patrinomial (as a sort of middle name) and add the husband's surname, sometimes preceded by "de."

Your kids get your maiden name after the patrinomial --- but that is your FATHER's name.

Single: Maria Sanchez Garcia.
Christian name, patrinomial, matrinomial.

Married: Maria Sanchez (de) Rivera.
Christian, patrinomial, marital.

Brat name: Geronimo Rivera Sanchez.

In both Spanish and Anglo custom, the question is WHICH man's name your going to use, daddy's or husband's.

Posted by: Emmie at May 27, 2018 05:56 PM (/A+Cl)

If you are still around...the roast chicken I made for dinner tonight (along with the salmon) was absolutely divine.

Sadly, it requires organic chicken. Because it really is better, and roasts better-much like the French capons. Take skin on, bone in pieces, rub with olive oil. Sprinkle on a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and let sit at room temperature for about an hour. Heat oven to 400, place chicken on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or in the glass pyrex dish you possibly used for the marinating, and roast covered for about 30 minutes. Remove foil, baste with some of the oil/juices in the pan, and cook uncovered for another 25-30 minutes. It's really, really good. Leftovers are good alone, or removed from the bone and used in soup, chicken salad, or a nice little peanut noodle dish I found.

414 In both Spanish and Anglo custom, the question is WHICH man's name your going to use, daddy's or husband's.

=====

Scandi custom is patronymic with 'dottir'. Mexican families in my own neighborhood, pick and choose, and change, with regularity. For anglos, cost (resending degree information with certified copies of marriage certificate and change of social security name), status (because you are born again in a new name), and stupid bureaucracy is enough to say 'no mas'.

Married daughters, who just use maiden name for work and married name socially (kids have father's name) which they decided to do with joint accounts for some things, rather than go full change.

467 Wait a minute did we not just mark the passing of a cockroach with a funeral? So how can we eek any sustenance of existence from such a creature then in good conscience?

468 Anna, these are special bugs.

"...The Pacific Beetle cockroach of Hawaii possesses nutrient-filled milk crystals, which they use to feed their young. "A single crystal is estimated to contain more than three times the energy of an equivalent mass of dairy milk," the report stated.

The study published in the Journal of the International Union of Crystallography also found that the milk-like superfood was full of amino acids and sugar-coated proteins, which makes this a natural gold mine for humans..."

Yum.

471 Batali, balls, a blue skirt and semen---what could go wrong?

Something's cooking in the kitchen. Let's hope the young lady did not wind up with a bun in the oven as a result of this encounter with her boss.

472 I hear they're issuing line tickets to get an application for an audience with the chick who won't change her name when she gets married.

475 For your new Martini, replace all of the vermouth with Tanqueray Rangpur. I recommend about a tenth, but a fifth would work too.
