Get Your Pork Cheeks Ready

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

The folks over at ToastedRav.com threw up a new Raiding the Kitchen for Niche and what did Gerard Craft offer them as Recipe of the Day? Slow Roasted Pork Cheek. Here's to a run on local pork cheeks.    

En Papiawesome

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Not to be confused with the famous version, at Erato on Main last night, while Kevin Willmann was away at the STL Mag A-List awards claiming his Reason to Take a Drive victory, sous chef Jon Olson was serving up Gulf Pompano en Papillote with shaved fennel, local baby onions, ...

Josh Galliano at the Beard Banquet

Friday, June 27th, 2008

In the better late than never file (because I was asking permission to use these pictures and didn't see I got the okay), here's Josh Galliano's spread at the James Beard House when he went a few weeks ago for the James Beard Awards banquet. His dish was Braised Pork Belly ...

Going Fishing at Erato on Main

Friday, June 13th, 2008

This weekend at Erato on Main Kevin Willmann is trying to win some sort of Kona Kampachi contest and will be serving what he once called "assuming fish with unassuming fish." At least he called it that to me. Not a fan of the duo overall "because one always upstages ...

Richard Blais Lives

Friday, June 13th, 2008

richardblais.net that is. It's still under construction but there are some cool shots of some of his food worth checking out if you too were routeing for him. It's got an incredibly odd meloncholly tune playing that doesn't jive with the food at all which I can only assume is because of ...

Lambstravaganza

Monday, June 9th, 2008

[flickr]photo:2562939863[/flickr] practically duplicating my slowfoodstl.org post... It was a long day of oppressive heat and ferocious winds that have left me too drained to really comment at the moment, but in the end the food was great, the hospitality was incredible, and we all walked away convinced that the Hillebrand's live on ...

Bobby Flay in two places at once

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

You know how good Bobby Flay is? So good, apparently, he can be in two places at once. He's supposed to be on KTRS speaking to Catherine Neville and McGraw at 11:00AM which you can stream here. But then he's also supposed to be on KWMU's St. Louis on the Air speaking with ...

Do you see me as a dead man walking?

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Don't miss the Grant Achatz article in the New Yorker about his single-minded focus to fight his tongue cancer and maintain his sense of taste.

A Bit on Blais

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Tofu Steak Marinated in Beef Fat with Green Curry I didn't get a chance to comment on last week's episode and I wanted to because I'm sorry but that tofu thing actually sounded really good. Of everything I've ever seen made on Top Chef that was the one dish that for me ...

Top Chef

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Next week it looks like we get some more uptight-bitch vs Filipino smack-downs, and while that should be pretty entertaining, this week we got another relatively stupid episode of Top Chef. Not being an Oprah supporter I didn't know who Art Smith was prior to tonight, but I have to ...
