Just make what your freakin' customer wants! They want what they want and don't give a damn about your "vision". If they say they don't want pink on their cake, don't start fashioning pink roses. Duff Goldman gives the customer what they want - he doesn't diva up and think he knows better. And are you better than Duff?????

I think not.

AND!

When I start my restaurant, one of the things on the menu will be the homemade basil fettucini with chopped pastrami and artichoke hearts. It was THAT good, even the second time around.

That is something I've got to try, but I wouldn't know what the hell to do with an artichoke. :lol:

It was some jarred marinated artichoke hearts that Dye left at the house. Like you'd put on an antipasto platter.

I'm into fresh pasta these days. I bought some black olive paste at Nick's the other day, and have this idea that it would be a nice addition to the pasta dough.

For shame. :nono:

My last summer fetish was grilled artichokes. This year I'm putting them in the steamer bag and eating them like normal again.

I have spent years, watching you celebrate your recipes. I have also spent years biting my tounge.

I usually steam or boil them too. But, I would LOVE to have the recipe that DiGiovanni's has for their appetizer artichokes, which isn't usually on the menu. Had them a few years ago and :drool:


BTW... you missed a good time yesterday.

Bite all you want. I'm confident in my mad cooking skillz. :cheers:

To throw Kain a bone, it doesn't sound like it would be good. But it was incredible. I suspect the key is in the homemade pastrami and not using some lunchmeat.

Maybe, but on the surface it sounds pretty rough. :huggy:

To be fair, it did to me, too. But I figured, hey, I have this huge pastrami that I'm never going to eat - what the hell! Let's experiment!

It was an Emeril recipe, and who am I to second guess him? Although the artichoke hearts were my own and they really added something. :yay:

Dear,

As delicately as possible, do you see any...inconsistency...with your first two posts?

Does anyone else think most of the new people on there suck. The Neely's make me cringe whenever I hear them, Paula Deen grosses me out with her 10,000 calorie dishes. Give me Sarah Moulton any day.

You can't say "Make what your customers want!" to anyone because YOU are adventurous and, with some flops, also hit delicious home runs with creative concoctions that customers may never have thought to order.

You and your creative cohorts in the food arts enrich us all through your culinary adventures. :drool:

Stuffed ham is evil.:smack: You should be horsewhipped for such blasphemy.


:lol: I love stuffed ham.

Vince, don't listen to them. Only pretentious people who think they are uber kewl cook and eat artichokes. :lol:

Have one of them women fix one for you and show you how to eat it to say you've done it and you'll never do it again. It ain't worth. :lol:

Stuffed ham is evil.

Customer to waitress: I'll have a porterhouse, rare, with a house salad and baked potato."

From the kitchen: "You'll have the leftover basil fettucini with chopped pastrami and artichoke hearts".

Sounds like home.:killingme

So I suppose you think my restaurant will only offer one entree? :tap:

You didn't go to Kom's church dinner by any chance, did you?

Easy now big guy. We did not do stuffed ham at our seafood dinner. They only way you get sick at one of our dinners is if you eat too much.

You mean customers will not have to order your mediocre brisket every visit?

Oh I was just teasing. I figured everyone had read the other thread about Sunday Dinner.... :lol: Every church dinner will send you to the emergency room...

I'm sorry I didn't get out to your dinner yesterday. Other things came up.

Nope! But I did take it out of the cooler after the ice melted, then drained the water. Also, I put your seat cushions in the garage so they wouldn't get rained on.

No. But it would offer stuff not normally ordered by the masses along with old time favorites.
