Happy Abobo posted:Poutineville you say? I'll have to check that out. To be honest, I've never been that big on poutine, but every time I mention that to someone, they always say "You've just never had good poutine", which gets annoying. Ideally, I want to find the One True Poutine, just to see if I maintain ambivalence. Au Pied probably has one with a kilo of seared foie on top of it. The poutines I've had were all okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way for them. Haven Gastropub in Orange has a duck poutine I keep meaning to try, but with Bruxie (a waffle sandwich food stand) an equal distance from Bruery Provisions it's hard to justify interrupting my drinking to sit down in a restaurant.

Hauki posted:Jaleo/É & Bouchon are definitely worth stopping in. That's all I've got for now though. These are both solid recommendations. Bouchon is great anytime but I'm a big fan of doing their breakfast/brunch. It's one of the best values on the Strip, with great variety. If the chef is in the mood to do eggs benedict, get them. He rarely does it and they're a real treat. At Jaleo, get the secreto - Iberico pig skirt steak with who the gently caress cares what it comes with, it's Iberico pig. If they're serving Jose's Tacos they're fun for being one of the most over-the-top things you can fit in your mouth (shaved Iberico ham wrapped around a big spoonful of caviar). If you're in the Cosmopolitan and want something different, Comme Ça is also very good for dinner and Milos offers a multi-course lunch for $20.12 that is one of the best values in town. Chinatown (west of the Strip, mostly on Spring Mountain) is great, there are very good pho spots (I favor Little Saigon, but most are at least passable). If you want ramen with a level of horror only Vegas can create, you could try Anime Ramen. Alternately, you could go 100 yards farther west and eat at the best drat ramen house in the city, Monta. For a hypertraditional, amazing Japanese dinner Raku is two doors down from Monta and gets rave reviews. There's also Sen of Japan farther afield. The chef there opened Nobu Las Vegas. His food is every bit as good and half the price, with the added benefit of not having to put up with the horrible Jersey Shore reject clientele that inhabits the Hard Rock ruining your dinner by drunkenly screaming at the server about how "That was the sickest sushi I've ever had in my life, bro." If you want the most authentic Mexico City style tacos in the US, go to Tacos El Gordo. They apparently have three locations in Vegas now, including a Strip one if Google is to be believed. I recommend the original on Charleston. It's the only one I can verify is staffed by awesome cooks who know what the gently caress they're doing. The adobada dude is some kind of minor food diety, I think. If you're in town on a Saturday (and really, who isn't?) consider checking out Saturday Night Truck Stop. Food trucks let two Strip chefs use their stuff in a Throwdown-style competition. It's good fun, close to the Strip, goes from 8pm into the wee hours, and you'll get fed. Best experienced during not summer since it's outdoors. I should really get around to making a Vegas food thread at some point. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I can make recommendations til my fingers go numb if not given something to focus on.

Rurutia posted:I only have 7 food slots and I'm already wondering how I'm going to wittle down what I want. This is the best feeling. Do Lotus for dinner one night. They have a lunch buffet, but that's not what they're known for and not nearly as good as their dinner service. Lotus is also where you should do wine if you want a wine night, because their prices are generally 50-60% of Strip with some things even more amazingly cheap.

Birrias. It's a Chivas reference (or a beef reference if they're from Baja, I guess) but different. I may be suggesting this name in part because I bought a fifteen pound box of cubed halal goat and have been eating birria for the last three days. Next up: Caribbean-inspired goat curry. If anyone has a favorite recipe I'd love to see it.

After a month of working 6-day weeks I've got a three day weekend. I celebrated with a trip the the farmers market and they had fresh okra and eggplant. Sjurygg posted this recipe in the general questions thread and I remembered thinking it sounded good, so it's simmering on my stove right now with the addition of a few serrano chiles. I've got five quarts of spicy bread and butter pickles (where the rest of the serranos went) cooling and a big bag of wax beans to end for something tomorrow. It's nice to have time to devote a whole day to kitchen-puttering and laundry again. Also I found a bottle of Bordeaux blanc I'd forgotten I had and it's tasting pretty drat great. Happy socialist government holiday weekend, everyone.

Tu pastor tiene demasiado queso.Mr. Wiggles posted:I harvested beets. The biggest was about 13 pounds, and there were lots of water smaller ones. I need the best borsht recipe. I posted my borscht recipe for the throwdown, and I've been pretty happy with it. The basics: - Start with oxtail or beef shank. - Go heavy on the initial sear. - Cook with beer. Wine is okay, but a decent lager will add a slight hoppy bitterness that plays well with both sweet and sour. - Spice with allspice, caraway, clove. - Sourness from sauerkraut (ideal) or a heavy hand with sour cream/yogurt. It varies a lot by region. Here is an article written by someone of eastern European extraction with a slightly different approach that I'm sure is delicious as well. bartolimu fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Sep 5, 2012 |

CuddleChunks posted:- Grease forms a magical buffer solution for the acid which now has something to work on in the form of a simple starch. Also eggs are a great hangover breakfast because the yolks contain compounds that help the liver do the heavy lifting with late-phase alcohol metabolism. Big starchy things like potatoes help with this as well, because acetic acid is vinegar and malt vinegar goes very well with potatoes.

Iowa is not a terrible place, it's just a rural place. Don't flip off the corn fields, eat them - drive around on dirt roads until you find a farmer sitting on the side of his field with a sign selling sweet corn for 25 cents an ear, fill up your trunk, then go home and fill your freezer. Enjoy living somewhere that has not only the climate for an actual garden, but good soil too. Seasons are pretty nice too, I miss those. We're just finishing up with Too Goddamn Hot and moving toward Slightly Cooler But With Higher Humidity And More Tourists here.

Benton's makes bacon too, and they smoke it very heavily. If you cook Benton's your neighbors three houses down will smell the woodsmoke. It's tasty stuff, but I've been going more for the light cure, light smoke, porky-tasting bacons lately. My local wine and cheese shop (where I tasted the above hams) had their 6th anniversary party on Saturday. They brought in some special guests and had wine, cheese, and charcuterie tastings. One of the special things was pancetta made from pata negra belly. It was like pig flavored butter, with tough chewy bits from the skin and meat - probably the best pork belly thing I've had as far as cooking potential goes. The distributor was talking about cooking turnips and turnip greens in the fat, then throwing in some pasta and a touch of butter to finish. I went to the farmers market the next day and they had turnips, so I guess I'm going to do that tonight. Should be fun.

You could always buy the at-home version instead, it's comparatively affordable at $140. You can build your own SV rig with a little know-how and some ebay parts for around $150 last I checked, or you could wait for a Sous Vide Supreme sale and get one of those. It's not as good as an immersion circulator, but it does okay for most home uses. Or you could just throw some acorns on a Wal-Mart coffee cake and call it Kwanzaa. Up to you.

Mr. Wiggles posted:Also, drink heavily and conduct no state business. This was my plan. For my extra day off, I went to a new Thai restaurant and had pumpkin curry, green curry, and the house chow fun noodle dish. All were delicious. Then I bought some French pastries from the chef who opened the Vegas Bouchon and took them to my parents for them to enjoy, and then I had an eggplant parmesan sandwich at my favorite family-owned Italian deli. The evening concluded with Halloween-party-inspired $3 zombie pints at the best bar in Vegas and a near-somnolent cab ride home. All in all, a good holiday Friday.

Here is the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIVIegSt81k Part 2 is really loving interesting if you're at all fascinated by mathematics, physics, etc. and includes liberal mention of Richard Feynman (always a good thing), but isn't really germane to the reason I'm posting about this here.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I'm on a plane on my way to Vegas. Any new spots I need to hit? Nobu is a definite, but I'm open to suggestions for other nights. Might try to hit Lotus of Siam, but may have trouble finding folks to dine with me. As far as other places: - It's the second weekend of the month, which I think means it'll be time for another Saturday Night Truck Stop brawl. I went on an off week and it was kind of a bust, but the competition weeks are apparently quite good. It doesn't get very busy until around midnight, but if you're up late Saturday night it can be a decent place to drop in. - If you want ramen, do Monta. It's two doors down from RAKU and well worth the inevitable wait. Get the pot stickers too, they're made fresh to order and easily the best in town. - Do something in the Cosmopolitan. All of the third-floor restaurants are good, so it's really a matter of what you're in the mood for. - I don't know if you get really good tacos at home, but Tacos El Gordo (the original Charleston location) is fantastic. They have Strip and Downtown locations that might be okay, I don't know. I make the extra drive to Charleston. Wiggles is right about both Lotus and Bouchon. At Lotus get the nam kao tod, tom kha kai, and whatever else strikes your fancy. Bouchon's quiche is nearly three inches thick and light as a feather, their french toast is more like a tower of delicious bread pudding, and everything else on their menu is great. I can probably think up some other recs too if you have specific things you want to eat. Throw me a PM if you need a dining partner. bartolimu fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Nov 6, 2012 |

I've had the flu since Tuesday. Woke up this morning at 3:00 feeling like I'd fellated a barbed wire fence, and I've spent the time since popping NyQuil, drinking tea, and being angry. Normally I'd be spending 6+hours every day this week at my parents' helping mom get everything ready, but instead I've been down with this plague and my crazy aunt has been pressed into service instead. Maybe it's a good thing I'm still too sick to go see what atrocities she's visited on my favorite family holiday meal. Well people please have an extra couple of drinks for me today while I mourn the bottle of South African Pinotage that won't be deployed to best holiday effect.

I'm definitely drained, though; I showered and fixed breakfast and now I need a goddamn nap. Maybe I'll do Thanksgiving on Sunday...

It's got somewhat limited distribution, but try to find Delirium Noel. It's a Belgian seasonal beer - Belgians tend to use massively fewer hops than American breweries, and they're masters of the whole citrus/spice flavoring thing for a variety of reasons. Also the whole Delirium line has pink elephants on the labels, which I find amusing. And get your rear end to the beer thread, depending on where you live there's almost guaranteed to be someone who can suggest stuff you can get that you'll like.

Rurutia posted:I just had the most epic series of food comas in Vegas that ended the only way a weekend in Vegas can end. In bed, sick. Sorry about the food poisoning. I trust the cooks in Vegas restaurants (especially big-name spots) more than most, simply because a food poisoning outbreak can cause entire casino F&B departments to die. Unfortunately, bad things happen here too and I'm glad you were able to take it in stride. Lotus spiciness can vary a bit. There are a few servers who assume non-Thai people don't really mean they want something spicy, so they downgrade the number when they tell the kitchen or ask the chef to go easy. That even happens to us regulars sometimes. I happened when I took The Macaroni, actually, which made me sad. Still, even when they don't take you seriously on the spice you can be assured the flavors will be spot on. I have a new recommendation for Bouchon diners: get the olives. It's six bucks for a big stack of assorted olives (all fantastic) with a couple of roasted garlic cloves. Probably the best deal on the menu, and a perfect appetizer or accompaniment to anything else besides maybe the french toast.
