Try adding bourbon after you've added your chiles and spices, but before any other liquid - early enough so the alcohol has time to cook out. Something about the strong alcohol really seems to make the spices burst with flavor. The smokiness of bourbon doesn't hurt, either....

Most "rules" of stock apply to restaurants, which use stocks in multiple ways, not known in advance. For example, restaurants want stocks to be clear so they can be used for consomme, or dishes like that. But since you're making a stock for gumbo, clarity is of no concern. If you have fish hea...

re: Milwaukee Recs

I never had much luck with fine dining in Milwaukee, but there's still plenty to enjoy. Jake's Deli has outstanding corned beef and pastrami. Zaffiro's is as good as Midwestern tavern-style pizza gets. Speed Queen has excellent barbecue. Some folks might be reluctant to visit that neighborh...

Buy a bottle of Pimm's, lemon-lime soda, and a cucumber. Put ice in a glass, fill it with three parts soda to one part Pimm's, garnish with a slice of cucumber. If you can't find Pimm's, mix a shot of gin into a glass of swimming-pool water. Will taste exactly the same....

re: Birria Tacos

[quote]The Americanized version seems better imo[/quote] Pot roast quesadillas could be tasty, I have no comment on that. I was just helping out someone who knows what birria really is, and probably confused about an American food fad using that name, but having no relationship to the real thi...
