What's everyone's Star Dish? You have a big get together happening, you're tasked with cooking something, what do you make? Is it a side, is it the main course, is it dessert????

As much as I love baking bread or stirring up big pots of soups stews and chili's, the food I was put on this earth to cook is burgers. I started making them at 18 while working at a sleazy Jersey Shore motel snack stand. My boss was a bald fat racist Italian man named Tony. He taught me how to make a proper smash burger. I'm now the only person my family trusts to man the burger station at barbecues.

That job was loving excruciatingly stressful and the kitchen was always sweltering and more than once I was spit on by rude New Yorkers because I got their order wrong but I was making a lot of under the table cash that I spent exclusively on weed and comics.

Hot BCS takes but it's a very mixed bag for me. Everything having to do with the lawyer side of the show, everything with Jimmy and Kim and Chuck and what have you, that is the certified Good poo poo. Wish the entire show was that.

Everything having to do with Mike and Gus and the crime side of the show is boooooring as gently caress. And it takes up the vast majority of any given episode. I was speed running the show essentially last time I watched it by skipping scene only involving the crime stuff and I was averaging about 18 beautiful minutes per episode.

i stopped watching that show after season 2. I don't really feel like watching more of it, even though it's good. I think this is because of losing my mind in reality after messing around and being "crazay" online too much! i just don't get the urge to continue.

thjere used to be a poster named Chris James, who would tell people i "broke" my mind after vontaze burfict did the fake hit on antonio brown, who faked the hit. I always said that's not the case. and i got pissed bad. But truthfully it was real and i couldn't admit it. i don't know how long i have left to live. hopefully at least 40 years if the time goes okay, or almost no time at all if i spend it suffering. real suffering, not a joke. I don't consider bad sports fandom to be real suffering, or being a dumb rear end suffering or anything like that. i'm talking about If i were to become homeless or anything of that nature.

That's some timing. I was thinking about asking for burger help in this very thread because I plan on making burgs for friends once quarantine lifts. I'm gonna experiment a bunch and see what works best for me, but aside from just loving around with different recipes I don't have a clue what to do. I'd appreciate any advice you feel like dishing out.

The biggest piece of advise I can give is to not mix salt into the meat before cooking. Actually, try not to mix the meat much at all. Or else you'll end up with little meat loafs. Use ripping hot high heat, preferably on a cast iron skillet if you've got one (if you don't, please eventually get one it's among the most important tools in the kitchen).

Honestly watch this video, Lopez-Alt is one of the smartest chefs in the world:

A meat grinder was one of the best gifts I've gotten from my wife and it wasn't that expensive - maybe $100 CAD or just under. I've made all kinds of frankenburgers - beef/pork/venison, beef/lamb, pork/turkey, etc. You can really save money on burgs because you just buy the literal cheapest meat you can find and grind away. Sure a burg is better with better meat but a burg with about-to-expire 50% off stewing beef is just fine too.

Hey, NienNunb and I are going to be dropping a commentary track for this movie in a day or two, and if you're interested in watching it it's available in full on YouTube. You absolutely do not have to watch it, as the commentary will include the audio track so you can listen along if you don't want to see the incredibly raw things in this movie, including a guy fake cutting his own finger off with glass and real pictures of actual wounds caused by the titular edged weapons, but if you do want to watch along, it's right here:

It really, really is.

Just one of those movies where every aspect seems to come together perfectly, from casting to acting to writing to (especially) set dressing, everything just works individually to enhance the film as a whole.

Knives Out is so good! Possibly the most fun cinema experience I've had. DONUT HOLE

Does anyone remember the name of the film about, I think, a stressed lady journalist that came out I think in the past five years? Someone in this thread mentioned it as their favourite when everyone was sharing recommendations a month or two ago. I forgot the title and googling Journalist Film isn't helping.

EDIT: CHRISTINE!!! I REMEMBERED IT

Butt first, let's

I have a really small and cheap $20 hand crank meat grinder and it works absolutely fine for me, and is easy to break down and store until I need it again. I would highly recommend something like that (and its like the first thing that pops up when I do a search on Amazon).

So I made salsa yesterday after lunch. Tried it for dinner and it was all right, but surprisingly lacked kick.

It was 9pm when I bolted upright in my chair, realizing I'd forgotten to put in the jalapenos :sigh:

It basically unscrews into like 8 parts which are all really easy to clean. You're fine until you forget the order of putting it back together and get annoyed you have to start over.

The only downside I can imagine is in terms of quantity. With that thing you gotta constantly feed relative small (like stew/stir fry sized, although i've done like full chicken tenderloins with no real problem) pieces instead of just throwing whole steaks or a ton uf chunks in and just flipping a switch. And I guess if you were grinding like 50 lbs of meat or something it would start to become tedious and sore. But I use it for burgers for 2-6 people a ton during the summer and the whole setup, grind, cleanup takes less than 10 minutes.
