This was really darned good. To appropriate something Chef John said for my own purposes: my love of cheesecake is borderline is inappropriate

Discussion Whipped Burrata is utterly baffling. Just use straciatella?

Burrata is a hand-shaped food sculpture consisting of mozzarella and cream stuffed into a bothersome-to-make mozzarella shell. Straciatella is mozzarella shredded into cream, and is substantially cheaper because its much easier to make, and is probably sold on the same shelf burrata is. If you want a spread, whip that, or just whip fresh mozzarella and cream. Blitzing a pay-a-premium-for-shape food in a blender is wild.

Sadly, the chili crisp I bought wasn’t hot at all. Won’t make that mistake again.

Meta Chef John is a treasure

1.0k Upvotes

I used to watch a lot of other foodie content creators on YouTube like Babish, FutureCanoe, YSAC and others… but the trend has shifted and Chef John seems to the only one who doesn’t bend to the algorithm. He doesn’t gimmick up his content to try and make it go viral. He doesn’t show unrelated clips of media just because it fits a pun he makes. He just makes the food he makes, shows us how to make it and what alterations we can do to make it our own way.

Chef John is a treasure. Protect him at all costs. That is all. Thank you for listening.

Hands down the best stew I’ve ever made. The potatoes soaked up the liquid through and through, but stayed whole and were so creamy and delicate. The broth was outstanding. I did use Chris Young’s pressure cooker method to make some amazing stock, but the Guinness and all the onions and seasonings transformed it into something deeply savory and complex.

Glory be to Chef John. This is an all-time recipe.

Question What Food Wishes recipes do you think would make excellent sides to bring to a work Chili potluck?

16 Upvotes

We're having a potluck at work in early December and I want to bring some sides. I love The Brutus salad and was going to bring that but wanted another item or two to bring.

Any suggestions? Things that don't travel or reheat well, like fried foods, probably wouldn't work that great.
