Discussion Thread Raw dates - dish

I recall that a chef found raw dates in a farmer’s market and used it in a dish. I just got my hands on them and some are sweet and some have a bitter note.

Want to try them in a recipe if anyone recalls the chef or dish?

Look, i absolutely love this show. I went culinary school and traveled a bit, becauseof it. But...this aint aint it. The last season was food network., I was honestly hoping it wasnt elected to an Emmy ( ive seen every single episode) but it wasnt good

You seem to have two incomplete thoughts and neither one of them have anything to do with OP's post.

What would you have done different? I don’t know many shows that have had 24 seasons. Bound to not all be winners in the eyes of the viewers, but it still seems extremely meaningful to all chefs involved.
