Costco French label is my go-to. Really hard to beat a quality Goose knockoff at 19 a handle. Mixes nicely with the grapefruit topo chico....

Maybe the cows are eating something different? Seasonal changes in the grasses they're consuming? Not sure. I know I buy a ton of it though. ...
I'll reach out to them. I suppose a cooking school would know those kind of things. Found Nolavore in New Olreans. They seem to have the kind of space we're looking for. I would like a few options to compare pricing and equipment though. ...
My best friends tour company is in the shitter thanks to Covid. We're looking to pivot his company a little and thinking about turning one or two of his vehicles into food trucks and do some catering. Hoping to find a some commissaries to look at cooking space, cold storage, and some par-cooking. ...

[quote] It probably is the same. Dearman's was always overrated.[/quote] Probably so. But with all the hype and nostalgia everyone associates with this place I had hoped for better. I guess her tastes have grown with the explosion of decent burger joints we've had. Too many great options in t...

re: Dearmans opening up

Ate at Dearmans yesterday for the first time ever. Never went in before the fire. However my GF always raved about the place and swore it was the best burger in town. So I had high hopes. I left disappointed and she left sad that it wasn't the same. Excusing the terrible untrained waitstaff ...

re: Best Mexican in BR?

Posted by BayouGoat on 6/20/17 at 5:29 pm
+1 for Burrito. I think it used to be called Taco y Burrito and half the sign fell down. Either way the food is legit and my second stop when looking for those kind of flavors. First is La Salvadorena, but that's not Mexican, just shares a similar flavor pallete....

Yep, trimmed the beard and hair up. I appreciate the heat though. Paul is just salty that he's been banned from all of Tom's establishments. ...

DC Brau, 3 star, Port City, RFD, Atlas, Spencer Devon (Fredricksburg), Right Proper, Blue Jacket (Don't go on Nats game day). I'll be back up there in a week or so and can report more then. Goin up for SAVOR fest. :)...
Definitely one of my favorites. I drank my weight in it last year when it was available. Can't wait to load my fridge up. ...

I think all my favorites have been mentioned already so I'll second some of them: Immersion Blender Kitchen Scale Kitchen shears (the kind you can separate into two parts for washing) Vacuum sealer - pair it with the scale and buy your ground beef in 10lb increments then section it out. Good ...

re: Zapps Beer Fest Saturday

Posted by BayouGoat on 4/2/16 at 2:00 am
It's because they originally planned on selling 2000 tickets and decided to expand to 2500. Guess they didn't change the website back to reflect this. I had a friend get his tickets early this morning; they said he got two of the last three....

I'll be there and have a beer with Redstick Brewmasters. It's an East Coast style pale ale with a ton of late boil addition Citra and a bunch of Mandarina Bavaria hops in the whirlpool and dry hopping. Tasted pretty nice with breakfast today :cheers:...
They sure smelled good when I walked by them the other day. I'll have to grab a few on my next trip in....

re: Japanese vs German knives

Posted by BayouGoat on 3/25/16 at 7:42 pm
I have both Japanese and German knives in service at my house. I use them for different tasks. German knives generally have a more forgiving steel and a heavier spine and are perfect for cutting meat and getting around bones. Japanese knives are fast and stiff, they hold an an edge like a boss. ...
