Irish Stew..... which is to say 'beef stew with Bushmills in it'.

Which is why you become good friends with your butcher. I bought a side of beef from mine and after cutting into it he wouldn't sell it to me. Said it "looked too tough"tifosi77 wrote:It's also important to know which end of the primal your steak is coming from, too. Generally, you want steaks from the chuck end (shoulders) of either the rib, short loin or sirloin. Those cuts are going to be made up of one single muscle, and will have much finer muscle fibers. Cuts from the other (rump) end will be made of two or three muscles, which means connective tissue between the muscle fibers. These tissues do not break down into gelatin in the quick cooking times used for steak cookery, nor will they break down at all at the relatively low temps at which one consumes steak.viva la ben wrote:I was inspired by the steak thread and cast iron discussion here so I went to market district to buy strip steaks for the kids, delmonico for my wife and I.
Market district had a lot levels to pick from
-grass fed
-prime
-dry aged
-choice
We did choice strip for the kids, and one choice, one dry aged for the delmonico. The dry aged was twice as expensive, but it didn't really taste twice as good as the choice.
You can spend a lot of money on something like American wagyu - that's like 35% fat - and still end up with a chewy, unenjoyable dining experience if the steak is from the wrong end.

After a long delay, I continued my voyage through the less-common flavors of Spam. This weekend I opened a can of Black Pepper Spam and make some sandwiches. Unlike Bacon and Jalapeño, which I could barely tell apart from regular Spam, the Black Pepper is loaded with big chunks of cracked pepper and is even spicier than the Jalapeño flavor. This one is a winner.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I say it's pizza. Pizza is so Americanized anyway, and I don't really think a single clear definition exists.
Also, that's a pretty biased sample. Only four guys, and two of them happen to originally be from New York? That's like asking four guys if Sidney Crosby is a whiner, and two of them are Flyers fans.

Oh, I disagree quite strongly with that. Look up any neutral source, and the definition is almost always that it's flat or flatbread.Shyster wrote:I say it's pizza. Pizza is so Americanized anyway, and I don't really think a single clear definition exists.
To clarify: I do like deep dish, very much. And I'll take mediocre deep dish over bad flat pizza any day of the week. But to call it pizza is affront.

Is Pizza Hut pan pizza supposed to be the same kind of thing as deep dish? I ate pizza when I was in Chicago once because I know Chicago pizza is a "thing" but I dont remember what it was like at all.

Pan Pizza wasn't even introduced until the late 70s or early 80s. It's made in similar pans as deep dish, but it's just a very thick flatbread crust. I actually quite like Pan Pizza Supreme as a cold breakfast. (But my gold standard breakfast pizza remains Little Caesar's)pittsoccer33 wrote:Is Pizza Hut pan pizza supposed to be the same kind of thing as deep dish?

The very first Pizza Hut location in Wichita, KS

Not in my experience. Chicago Deep Dish is almost like a real pie. Thin crust in a deeper pan filled with ingredients and sauce (too much sauce for my liking).pittsoccer33 wrote:Is Pizza Hut pan pizza supposed to be the same kind of thing as deep dish?

Yeah, that looks at least as little more authentic...viva la ben wrote:I remember that tifosi, it was called Pizza Hut priazzo.

That's different.... the Priazzo more or less was a deep dish pizza. But it only lasted on the menu a few years.

I worked at Little Caesars when I was 19 and ate it five days a week for the whole summer; haven't set foot in one since then.

Did you know Dominos originally planned to add a dot to their logo for every location until they realized they were going to expand well beyond that, so they stuck with 3 dots?

Is there a place in Pittsburgh where I can order one of these Chicago pie pizzas?

They really just need to call it something other than pizza.

Marinated pan seared pork chops are pretty pretty pretty good. Don't know why it's taken so long to put them into my meal rotation

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
A few months ago, I had a pretty bad steak experience at a brew pub. At best, it was Select and I even question that, in retrospect.
It reminded me to never go below Choice at the grocery store.
