The NEW Dinner Thread

[Keirik]

I’ve been cooking since I was 14 so that’s over 30 years worth. I don’t need belle fresh specifically but we wanted to find a way for my wife to learn just freaking something. Woman can’t make cereal correctly. It’s just turned into me making them though lol but it definitely still helps in a busy world. Besides not being able to boil water she also doesn’t know how to make a freaking food decision ever.
Instead of spending 30 minutes discussing what we are going to eat each day, now at least 3 of the days we have it all set. The Wednesday before after dinner we just look at the following week choices and decide “together” from the 30 or so choices.

Speaking of food prep and all that, I’m going to start dry brining my chicken breasts before making grilled chicken. I’ve also seen a tip I might try but unsure about using Mayo instead of olive oil to grill the chicken. Supposed to help with browning. Anyone ever try?

Mayo works great. just make sure its a thin coat.
Chicken is becomes very tender and juicy.

Dry brine worked out amazing. Very recommended for grilled chicken breasts

Tonight is panko/frosted flake crusted chicken parmigiana. Don’t knock it, gives a nice twist and with the saltiness of the cheese, savory nature of the sauce, the added Frosted Flakes to the panko add a little something different. Definitely not traditional at all lol

Quick detour...Anyone watching Triple D Guy Fieri going back to spots he first visited years ago? Awesome how his original visit and subsequent broadcast really pushed already successful business further ahead. Damn nice to see. (For those of you in the Capital Region, I read he opened a 'virtual' restaurant site that does take-out only. A local kitchen in Cahoes (maybe) does the cooking of his recipes.) Anyone up there on to this?

Back to the thread, sorry 'bout that.

Sounds like fun.

[Keirik]

That show makes me ridiculously hungry though. Lol.

Wanna hear something depressing? One time we were in NYC my brother and the wives made me eat at Guy's restaurant. Holy fuck.

Actually, I owe that guy a lot for getting me interested in food, even if it's McDonald's on steroids.

I heard bad things about it but I usually don’t go to nyc often outside of going to games. Leave that for all the tourists lol

Glad you had a good time.

We were heading there too - I think it was located just off B'way near Times Square - and we skipped it after reading a few health citation reviews. My wife would not go inside.

Did Pork Diablo during the 3rd period today. Another Chef John masterpiece. Incredibly easy, company worthy, and cost about $15 for 4 servings.

Is there anyone else that you watch on YouTube? Lately I’ve been watching a few channels.

Thanks for those, I'll check all of them out.

I'm historically a cookbook guy, and primarily, a BBQ guy. This actual, indoor, cooking is fairly new to me, so I don't have much to add.

Steven Raichlen got me started years ago, and remains my god.

HeyGrillHey is a good one.

GrillingWithDad is another good one.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Peeled and deveined a shit-ton of shrimp for whatever is coming tonight. I'm not on deck at the grille just a fork-in-hand spectator.

The best position to be

My role these days: 1) wine-opener, 2) eater and 3) dishwasher.

My wife and son are at the helm these days planning, shopping and cooking. I make sure to voice vociferous approval.
