Food Thread: A Food Show Host Who Is Not A Dick?

Slutty oil.jpg

H/T to some Moron who didn't (too embarrassed?) to give his nic

I watch Guy Fieri's flagship show, "Diners, Drive-ins And Dives," mostly because some of the dishes he finds are fantastic looking, and often quite inventive. But his schtick wore thin a long time ago....the frosted tips, the silly glasses worn backwards, the stupid teenager shorts and flip-flops, and his seemingly congenital inability to swallow food. What? Oh...just watch. He never swallows. And his opinions of the food are scripted too. Nothing is the best,; it always "one of the best." Hey Guy...just say what you think? That might be interesting.

But here is another perspective, courtesy of commenter "Lizzy," and I must say, it is pleasant to read about a celebrity who isn't a total dick in real life. Here's What Happens After Guy Fieri Visits a Restaurant is a refreshing antidote to the typical celebrity chef who is an awesomely vile person to everyone except the reviewers and the high rollers who finance his next venture.

And it really seems like he genuinely cares about the restaurants and people he visits.

"Exactly one month after filming our episode, our entire restaurant burned to the ground," Bufkin said. "And one of the first people to call us -- while the place was actually still on fire -- was Guy Fieri. He wanted to see how we were, if he could help, but overall just to encourage us to get back on our feet."

I know two people in the industry who have had professional contact with one of the most famous of the TV chefs (you can guess), and both of them have said that he is a total douchebag who is incredibly rude to everyone. This story makes me hopeful that it isn't a universal attribute of famous chefs.

******

Union Square Cafe is an iconic New York City restaurant, and unlike many other pretentious and silly icons, this one has been a fine restaurant for about 30 years. They moved recently, a few blocks up the street, and it is a testament to the quality of its management that the new place is swamped...just like the old place. Totally impossible to get a reservation. And the reason? Their crazy idea that if they provide excellent food, excellent service, an elegant and comfortable setting at a relatively reasonable price, they will succeed. Who knew?

Union Square Cafe's Bar Nuts are great. And at most other restaurants the nuts are an afterthought, but at this place? Nope. They take everything seriously. And it shows. I have been a few times, mostly eating at the bar (the best way to eat at a good restaurant), and without fail the bartenders were fantastic at their craft, knowledgeable about the menu, able to serve with style and grace, and one of them even remembered me from my last visit several years before. That's a win in my book.

Do Not Make This!
Sea Scallops with Brussels Sprouts and Mustard Sauce Oooh...let's put together three ingredients that don't mesh well at all because we are completely out of ideas and we have a deadline!

Sea scallops are expensive ($20+/lb around here), and really good when cooked about as simly as possible. Why tart up something that is just perfect on its own?

17 Instant Ramen Hacks
Not everyone cooks elaborate meals every day, and this has some great looking riffs on plain old ramen.

Okay, a lot of them are stupid or silly, but there are several, in particular the first one, that are serious alternatives to the standard ramen meal.

Tyler Florence may not be a great chef, but most of his recipes are solid, bordering on excellent renditions of classic dishes. There are more recipes for chili than there are cookbooks in the world, but here is a really good one, and a fine place to start if you feel like elaborating on a simple dish.

Beef Chili

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 pounds beef shoulder, cut into large cubes
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
  • 1 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 10 garlic cloves, halved
  • 3 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed by hand
  • 1/2 cup masa harina
  • 3 cups shredded white Cheddar, for garnish
  • 2 bunches chopped chives, for garnish
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream, for garnish

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil. Season the beef shoulder all over with salt and pepper, add it to the pot and brown it. As it's browning stir in the chili powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, oregano and cinnamon. Lower the temperature under the meat to "toast" the spices.

In a food processor puree the onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, jalapeno, tomato paste and sugar and add it to the pot. Increase the heat to medium to steam vegetables a little and sweeten the peppers. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch, about 1 quart, and add tomatoes with their liquid.

Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer until the meat is fork-tender and comes apart with no resistance, about 2 hours. As it cooks down, add more water, if necessary.

When done, stir in the masa harina. Take a potato masher and mash the chili so the meat comes apart in shreds. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish each serving with the shredded Cheddar, chives, and sour cream.

[If you don't have masa harina, use ground corn tortillas]

13 Guy came to a little hole in the wall mexican food place I've been eating at since 1979. Not sure it did anything for business as it is always busy. I worked for about 8 years a block away from this place and ate there everyday. Always greeted with "The usual sir?" And yes it was always the usual.

Well, let's see. First, being a chef is in the top ten list of professions that attract sociopaths. Second, the field is full of douch canoes.

That said, perhaps you could narrow the field down a bit, since my guess set contains several people at this point...

The oven is heating, the loaves are formed and on the final rise. I make bread all the time so I can tell today's bread will be good. We're going to eat out tonight at "Mighty Fine", it's the only burger place I really like the burgers at. Not sure why I'm making bread...........

2 projects today. Sausage and borlotti beans just about done with a 3 hour cook at 275 degrees and Buckboard Bacon which is a cured pork shoulder butt. I'm hoping it will taste more like American bacon than Canadian bacon. If it doesn't that's ok too, it's bacon.

91 Am enjoying cooking with a crockpot again. Our last one broke and we didn't get a new one until Christmas. Made smoked sausage, potatoes and onions yesterday (I lost your e-mail address, MisHum so i couldn't send recipe to you) Several days before that I made sort of a Thai chicken and coconut soup (although the Thai people in the restaurant do it better :^)) and i'll be doing something with beef in the next few days. I like throwing things in, just leaving it alone and coming back to it after I've done other things. Plus, there's usually things to freeze left over.

I think it should be 160 within two hours but at least it's a way to measure the temperature of the pot.

I seem to remember that the "real chefs" hated her because she was not a "trained chef".

2nd true story in the last 24 hours. Fraternity brother of mine from way back when is one of the "celebrity chefs". Not on the networks, but he is pals with some of those guys and has appeared on the morning talk shows. The guy was racist as fuck, but now he is the most vocal Obama supporter you could ever hear, blaming any little criticism of Dear Leader as out and out racism.

Sad thing is, all the rest of us from the fraternity could absolutely destroy the guy by posting pictures of him from college. I mean, if Paula Dean was responsible for stuff she said 25 years ago, this guy could be too.

166 What's with the Brussels Sprouts hate going on here? Sheesh! I have a simple recipe I created decades ago and still use, with some variations (Braised Brussels Sprouts with Lemon, Butter and Soy Sauce, topped with Toasted Sliced Almonds). I also had roasted Brussels sprouts with pecans and a roasted garlic-parmesan-cream sauce at a restaurant that I was able to make at home on the second try. Enough of this Brussels Sprouts hate, Heathens!

A few months ago, I was making a package of Bird's Eye Broccoli with Cheese Sauce (in a microwave tray). I don't like to microwave such things so I let it thaw in a sauce pan then followed the package instructions. The dish looked awful watery. So I adapted and overcame. I added milk, some more cheese, a few spices and I ended up with Broccoli Cheddar Soup. A mistake has now become one more dish in my repertoire. I've always liked broccoli cheddar soup, but I don't have the patience for making it. So I'll use my quickie method, which is easily expandable. As it is, it makes two servings but, with a little added steamed broccoli and more milk and cheese, one can easily turn it into soup for 4.

Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at January 15, 2017 04:52 PM (n3MnG)


A few years ago, Irvine was given a 'time-out' (of about 6 months) by The Food Network. Apparently he lied on his resume, listing he worked at the White House. Whenever I see one of his shows I always think of that and, for me, it just kills whatever he's doing. A liar is a liar is a liar.

187 I've missed EVERY SINGLE FOOD THREAD for the past few weeks until tonight.

Woot!

I've read the biggest asshole celeb chef is Mario Batali. A guy wrote in a blog a few years ago, that the asshole was staggering along the sidewalk, drunk, early one morning and ran into the commenter, and yelled, "Get out of the fucking way!"

To the commenter's credit, he said, "No, YOU get out of the fucking way, you fat fuck!"

My SiL who lives in Manhattan considers him a god for some reason. Dragged us to his pizza place, the name of which I've forgotten, several years ago. I bit into a crappy, overpriced pizza and nearly broke a tooth on a kalamata olive pit.

Anyhow, I've heard nice things about Guy Fieri and Tyler Florence. Tyler's dad works in his church's kitchen in Greenville, SC, once a week preparing food for weekly church dinners, and Tyler has helped him.

196 >>I seem to remember that the "real chefs" hated her because she was not a "trained chef".

I find her grating, but say a show on her and she has never claimed to be a chef and was mystified when offered her own show.

She started out working at a imported food store in upstate NY and was asked to do some in-store demos using their cheeses and whatnot to show customers how easy it is to throw a meal together. She was so popular that people wanted her to publish her recipes (which she did), and eventually she went on the Today Show at the last minute when their scheduled chef backed out. Then she became such a popular Today Show guest the Food channel people came knocking.She's an American success story in that she created a market for her "quick meals" skills aimed at people who don't normally cook. She's not horning in on chef territory, just found her own niche, so good for her!

260 Arriving late.

Alton Brown is brilliant at breaking things down and making them approachable. Heard he was kind of a jerk a while back but seems to have gotten things sorted out.

Guy Fieri comes off as a big ol' bro-douche on his show, but I've heard he's actually a really nice guy IRL.

Anthony Bourdain is the stereotype of brash, arrogant kitchen bastard, but his travel show is amazing and you can almost feel how much he appreciates foods and the people who make them. Plus, he's softened up a bit since he had kids.

Julia Child and Martin Yan are the absolute gold standard for running a cooking show. Doing it well, showing you how to do it well, and AFAIK very nice people as well.

Giada De Laurentis and Nigella Lawson have breathtakingly excellent...

I remembered that YC was used in a classic cocktail called the "Alaska Cocktail".

I suppose it's not more popular cuz Yellow Chartreuse is hard to find. But, if you have a bottle or frequent a bar which carries it, try the Alaska. It is delish. A clean and sophisticated tipple.

305 Most of the Ramen variations in that article are kind of disgusting, but a poached egg with noodles is classic Japanese fast food.

HOWEVER, it's not easy to make with instant ramen, because if you use a big enough pot to cook noodles and poach an egg at the same time, the broth is going to be pretty watery. (If you have a giant pot of boiling broth like a Japanese noodle shop, no problem.)

I poach the egg first in the broth, then scoop it into the bowl and cook the noodles. Takes an extra three minutes but that gives you time to chop up a green onion to put on top.

My objection to your comment is that you are equating/associating failed polices and corruption specifically with race. If I'm misunderstanding you, then I apologize for that. But that said, I don't think I am. And were it not for the mostly white people who run the party in which the vast majority of blacks have tied themselves to, they'd be a whole lot better off than they are today. In an alternate universe, the Great Society never happened and the dissolution and genocide of Black America never happened. The trend of the late 50's, blacks becoming socially and economically equal to whites, would have continued until we would have become truly a color-blind society. It didn't.

Again, are places run by blacks corrupt shit-holes because of their race? No. I reject that entirely.

360 I have a confession to make, but it requires a little backstory explanation. For various reasons we didn't have Thanksgiving at home this year, which means no leftover turkey and stuffing.

So when I saw turkey breasts on sale at the supermarket a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get one and cook it, along with some stuffing and gravy so we could have the proper post-Thanksgiving experience.

Normally I use oysters in my stuffing, but they're hard to come by and expensive, so I went with sausage instead. First time I've ever made sausage stuffing.

And it was only when I was actually in the supermarket getting some sausage to use that I suddenly realized why the stores have had nothing but Sage flavor Jimmy Dean's instead of the Hot flavor I like for the past couple of months. It was as if I finally figured out why they have so many turkeys on hand in November.

So I ate RL almost every night. Tried everything on the menu (and one thing NOT on the menu), & never a bad meal.
Got to the point that they'd bring me a free side of crab legs with my dinner, and occasionally would simply comp my meal.

I never got the RL hate.

Now, cut to like 20 years later and my mom and dad were on an elevator at Sachs 5th Avenue and when the doors opened, Bruce Willis stepped in. My folks, specifically my dad, could barely contain his silence until Bruce turned to them introduced himself, chatted them up for a minute or so and then left with a smile. This was at the height of his career during the "Die Hard" days.

I always buy sausage in the freezer section. I like Linda Evan's Hot and it's rarely available unfrozen at Wegman's. Plus, it's been priced at about $4.50 for a one pound roll. I buy the same thing at WalMart for $2.98.

You realize that all these celebrity chefs and their TV shows are meat to an author seeking characters? My daughter and I based the chef in the Luna City Chronicles on a combination of *celebrity chef unmentioned* and Anthony Bourdain.

Yeah, our character is an almost unredeemable *sshole, but he knows it, and is trying to get better.

404 Many, many years ago (pre-Kosher), we received as an anniversary present a neat little package of Paul Prudhomme's cookbook and a VHS tape (see, told ya it was long ago) with his recipe of Cajun "barbecue" shrimp.

Made that many, many times, one of the of the most delicious (and simple!) dishes we'd ever had.

442 Years ago, when I was "in training" at a new company, I basically lived in a hotel off Arlington Hwy for months.
My walking distance choices for dinner were Hooter across the street, or Red Lobster next door.

So I ate RL almost every night. Tried everything on the menu (and one thing NOT on the menu), & never a bad meal.
Got to the point that they'd bring me a free side of crab legs with my dinner, and occasionally would simply comp my meal.

I never got the RL hate.

482 >>good catch! the point is that in the 80s it was nearly impossible to get seafood very far from the coast. there was a big deal about fedex flying seafood into certain areas. red lobster was big enough to have seafood flown or trucked in on a large scale.

Yea, I hear ya. I'm just spoiled where I live. One of my favorite places around here is the Matunuck Oyster Bar.

It started as an oyster farm and then the owner built a restaurant around the farm. They oysters are literally growing right off the deck and you can watch them harvest and clean them before they hit your plate. All of the seafood comes right off the local boats and they also own their own farm where they grow most of the produce.

The only ice involved is in the drinks. But I do end up FedExing lobsters and stuff to friends around the country, particularly around the holidays. I sent some to a buddy in Phoenix years ago and he sent me a bunch of pictures of us Phoenix born and bred wife trying to deal with live lobsters. Looked like that scene from Annie Hall.

Nobody would do that with a crab or a lobster.
Or even a green bean.

This is true, and they hunt prey. I was shocked by this. Was once jigging for bait while tuna fishing way offshore and caught two scallops on a sabiki rig. They were not snagged on the bottom, they both went for lures.

I looked it up afterwards and yeah they have sort of eye things.

Earlier today people were talking about coming to blows over their favorite hot sauce. I'm reasonable certain some people eat it on things other than oysters.

647 355. Way late but 175 degrees is plenty for a roast etc. I've been experimenting with methods for the bison stew or roasts to get tender meat and the slow setting on the crockpot works great. Internal temp of 155-160 is plenty for a beef/deer/elk/bison etc roast. But the veggies remain uncooked so you have to do some kind of pre cooking of those or plan to have to nuke them in the microwave for 5-6 minutes after the meat is done.

So are you trying to make the argument that racial groups have tendencies toward certain cultural medians?

Then how do you explain the socialist movement in white areas? This is not a pro-democracy cultural movement- in fact it stands in stark contrast to western cultural success of the past 500 years. Indeed, it wants to throw out all of the lessons those successes have taught.

My point being: people are people. The attraction of socialism or any other form of authoritarianism is that it is easy. It is easy to persecute your ideological enemies. It is easy to make a new tribe based on a nation than it is one based on an idea. Freedom is messy. It is impossible to control by it's very nature and that makes all human nervous.

The other point is that it takes just the right set of circumstances to create western culture. Greece. Rome. Christianity. The dispersed authority of the feudal period. The role of the church superseding all temporal authority, at least in theory. The reformation and the rejection of an ultimate human authority while still clinging to objective truth. The enlightenment.

I am sorry, but I do not see race anywhere in there.

762 I'm not talking about diving, I'm talking about being at the beach. At night, there are no lifeguards, either.

I respect the ocean. A man's got to know his limitations.

I don't have any numbers on it, but diving is generally regarded as the safest activity, shark-wise. You're a big thing moving around in their environment and blowing bubbles, they're not gonna mess with you. Surfing e.g. doesn't play so well, you're a floppy thing flailing around on the surface.

765 WooHoo, coke-cola + Worc. sauce +vinegar and 8 hours in the crockpot got my buffalo arm roast really nice and tender. The meat thermometer arrived from Amazon on Sat. so once I learn to use it, the steaks should turn out OK also.

When I was teaching diving in the Carib, night dives were one of our specialties. You are absolutely correct about things that come out at night in the ocean.

Take an underwater flashlight and shine it on a reef and you will see about a million eyeballs staring back at you.

Did a wall dive off Castle Rock, Dominica, down to 150 ft. I got the distinct feeling someting bigger than me was looking up...

Saw one of the beach but never got to dive with one. The two coolest I have gotten up close with are a manatee and an eagle ray while I was free diving. Was just about to grab on for a ride when he took a couple huge waves of his wings and whoosh, gone.

Posted by: JackStraw at January 15, 2017 08:16 PM (/tuJf)

774 He's 75.
Had a kid with his second wife. He was married to her from 2008 to 2010. So I assume that's the kid in question.

In his statement, Anka mentioned that he and Trump have been good friends for decades.

No reason to believe he's pulling out because of the bullies.

I wonder if activist judge or lawyers in California deliberately rescheduled Anka's custody hearing in order to throw a fuck into his appearance at the Inaugural?

Saw some spotted eagle rays on a dive, it was the hilight of the trip. No interaction, they just hovered about 20ft over our heads. Saw some others, and a few hammerhead sharks on watch in Pearl Harbor, and it was always "holy crap, come look, this thing is awesome"

My favorite dive was to The Grottos, off Kauai, HI.

Green Turtles, sleeping on coral shelves. Occasionally, they'd swim slowly up for a breath, and drift back down.

I'd like to be a Green Turtle...

I've seen many sharks but only one hammerhead. All I could think of was that it was pure evil.

Seriously, that is a creature that just oozes creepy.

778 I've been told that raw oysters are still alive when you eat them. I always imagine that as one goes down, I hear a tiny little voice screaming "Help meeeeeeeeeeee!"

I actually got to save a baby turtle. I was snorkeling in the BVI off Virgin Gorda and I came upon a young turtle that had a plastic bag wrapped around it's flippers. It couldn't swim very well and couldn't submerge.

He didn't like me touching him but I got the bag off him and he excitedly swam away. That was a good moment. I like turtles too.

Never seen a hammerhead while diving, just standing topside watch and calling people over to look at it.

Saw tons of sharks diving the grotto in Saipan, but never felt a twitch of fear of them.

786 Huh, good to hear a positive piece on Guy. I love that show cuz I love to find good dives when I travel. Talked to an owner in Spokane (Guy's had a few Spokane dives on this show) and he made it sound like Guy was a diva/dick. But being on Triple D is great for business.

787 I tried the chili recipe.

Apparently I cut the beef into slightly too large chunks (or else, just possibly, I got the wrong cut of meat), because after 2 hours, it was in nowhere near shape to shred. I'm going to save it and put it in the crock pot in a day or two to see if we can get it done that way.

It smelled good anyway.
