In April of 1958, a 22 year-old Hunter S. Thompson wrote a letter on the meaning of life when asked by a friend for advice. What makes his response all the more profound is the fact that at the time, the world had no idea that he would become one of the most important writers of the 20th …
NO JOKE…I am going to make a turducken Ramen. chicken as the base, a little bit of turkey drumstick cut into it and some roast duck. The art (YES ART) of making good soup is very much like making wine. it’s all about proportions of flavors and hitting high and low notes, rounding out the …
BIG! FUN! Got two big ass Catfish, but they are only medium sized for how gigantic the Mekong Catfish get. bunch of bread, some fish attractant, rolled up in a ball with dirty water, sounds like an appetizing recipe to me #carbs 2nd mekong catfish and a big ass smile from my first! both about …
Rene, this is how I’ll remember you. happy. humble. beloved in our community a true icon in spearfishing. We miss you already and our hearts ache you are no longer here to share your endless wisdom, humility, and gentle spirit. It was a true blessing to know you, What a beautiful human …
For lobster, Sea urchin, and Abalone, i’ve never had anything in a sushi restaurant (japan, US, elsewhere) that is anywhere nearly in the stratosphere of what was hand-caught. There are secondary and tertiary levels that you would never taste if you bought it from a market. the lobster in a tank starts eating its own …
Beautiful sherry cask Yamazaki in Ginza, Japan. Average price $2484/bottle. Didn’t know. Drank it like a shot. LAWL. Damn! almost as expensive as the taxis in Tokyo! Link to some description here for the nerds.
Right now is blank canvas. outside and inside. Designing my kitchen. how about this unit by Hestan? 🙂
Sushi is not just FISH on RICE. It is the perfect harmony, of the sweetness and warmth of the vinegared rice in perfect balance with the Neta/Fish that is either completely fresh, or has been aged properly to bring out its maximum flavor.

People look at Thai and Chinese (whatever that means because there’s so many different regions and it is one of the most complex countries in terms of food) as simple take out places but for instance, the best dim sum places in …
The worst thing you can doas a chef is underestimate the palate and sophistication of your customer and overestimate your own skills. Most restaurants don’t taste seasoning, or know how good the product CAN taste because they only know what they know- it is limited.
So important to have good concierge to help you book reservations for restaurants overseas.
ZEISS…been around forever. super clear, awesome awesome optics. http://www.eurooptic.com/zeiss-victory-prf-8×26-t-pocket-laser-rangefinder.aspx?gclid=CPjXkO2ymckCFdKGfgoddy8HDw My zeiss victory rangefinder is fucking badass. I can shoot the laser on something up to 1200+ yards away and it will shoot me back the distance. In hunting, optics (binoculars, scopes, rangefinders) are your eyes so it’s very important to spend money on good …
