Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the whole point of the dry age to achieve maximum fatty tastes? What do you mean by “funk?” Not like some Japanese fermented peanut shit, right? 
 

and @where that steak in the bag with the oil hack sounds fucking incredible. I can’t wait to fuck with this giant ninja foody. Gotta get some good solid recipes! 

You right. But there’s a very, very, very, very light blue cheese type funk. I tasted it more on the burger than the steak.

I could def see a dope Filipino remix going down on those Birra tacos in a spot like Jeepney (if they're still around). Super flavorful in a way I think Filipinos would appreciate, find familiar.

 

Also, the original recipe for those uses goat meat, not beef. Wife thinks goats are cute after seeing a couple youtube videos of baby goats, so guess what we don't eat in this house.

That shit looks amazing @MercerJamaican oxtail is one of my all time favorite meals. I feel like it probably holds up in any dish. 

 

Man I really miss having the neighborhood Jamaican spots out here. Honestly, I'm a bit too lazy to be a huge Oxtail fan, or anything you eat bone in, but have had it enough to sometimes crave it despite having to pick the bones out. 99% of the time I won't even fuck with chicken wings because that shit is too much work for me. Those Birria tacos were perfect because you just shred the meat and debone  before you're done preparing.

Wow bringing the Jalisco flavor. Props. @NightmareOnElmStreetyou ever go to Flames in grove hall or south prov its standard fire. This makes me wanna make a batch of ochsenschwanzsuppe. I also think its so cool that mexican cuisine refers to it as consumme when its not clear always lol at that whenever I come across it. This also sparked my intentions to finally that gelatin filtration french consumme method all the kids are talking about.

I feel you with the lazy part. I don’t eat blue crab unless my wife does the work for me. 
 

also I would rather have beef than goat. You think birria  in the restaurants, streets spots in the states serve exclusively beef? Or is it standard with goat.

Yeah mon. I’ve eaten at all the Jamaican food spots in pvd and surrounding hoods as far as I know. There is a African/Caribbean fusion that I haven’t hit yet but the African part has kept me away even though I want to

try it lol.

yea sometimes fusion can be a little cringe vibe, theres a bomb nigerian spot in mattapan called safari. Tinas was my shit when i lived on fed hill, better than 75% restaurants on that street that are straight trash.

Was helping a friend/mentor over the last couple weeks as I mentioned. Throughout all of it I managed to snap a few food shots.

Mini loaf of thyme brioche that was to be served with a duo of mousse(one was foie and the other salmon.) I wish I would've stopped to take a few more. We were making some really good stuff. It's been a little over 5 months since the restaurant I was his head chef at closed. After being burnt out, pissed, sad, depressed, doubtful and just really hating everything that was going on. It was nice to jump back in and be able to help the man that has been helping me grow for the last 6 years as a chef and as a human as well. Cheers folks! Hope you all have a very happy New Year! To looking forward to the future even as unsure as it seems!!!!

I've only heard that term used twice ever & it stuck in my head.  The first was from Hannibal.

It's definitely a fine dining thing. It's a gift from the kitchen, a nice little bite to get the appetite excited. "I ate his kidneys with fava beans and, a nice chianti."

That's one of his main course recipes.  This was from Red Dragon when he serves up a member of the symphony to the symphony board members:

^looks bomb, yous guys are great at taking pics while you cook.

This weekend I also made a winter go to ochsenschwanz suppe or german oxtail soup, this picture doesn’t do it justice, it smacks.

Sear oxtail and shortribs in sunflower oil remove, sauté 2 parts celery root and leeks 1 part onions/carrots, add meat back in with ground nutmeg and cinnamon with peppercorn clove and bay leaf in a sachet. Cover with water, cook for 3 hours, remove meat and pull from bones my finish soup with red wine lemon juice and cornstarch + and a little bit of s&p. There’s enough collagen in there to make Jennifer Anniston look 30.
