For the newbees (which is just about everyone who isn't related to me)Here is the mission statement of this blog.
There's a fine line between chef and clown
As a wise chef once told me, while we both observed a co-worker wearing chef pants with a chilli pepper print on them, "remember Mark, there's a fine line between chef and clown".I'm reminded of how true this statemant is today as I watch "chefs" Guy Fieri and Anne Burell shuck and jive and dance around in their spiked hair and their pinky rings while teaching us how to make pulled pork sushi rolls with wasabi gravy! (seriously, WTF?!?)This recipe sounds familiar to me for some reason,what is it,oh yea,august 12th 1988 3:00 am, home from a San Diego State frat party featuring a keg of Meister Brau, my 3 friends and I made this very dish. It was epic. Anyways,while I was sitting there lamenting that this great and proud profession is often given the face of the court jester,I decided to set up this blog and and polling site to weigh in with my opinion on contempory chefs and food personallities,and to collect your opinions as well.So enjoy,read,comment,vote,and remember,Escoffier wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of chili pepper pants!
