re: Are you a good cook?

I went to culinary school, so I hope so.

Best is probably my dry rub chicken.

I do make a killer dish that isn't an everyday thing...the best thing I've ever made.

Tuna belly, thinly sliced
Vinaigrette of blood orange juice, rice wine vinegar, light and dark sesame oils
Bruinose of peppers

Similarly...

Jumbo lump crab
Lime basil vinaigrette
Microgreens
Served over a flower made from heirloom carrots, radishes, and turnips

Fan of rabbit? Love cooking it like mini-lamb. Rack, chops, etc. People don't know WTF to think.

Sesame chicken

Yes... Google and fending for myself...

By far the best thing ever. My go to app at the following places in NO.

Clancy's- UNREAL
Bayona- UNREAL
Upperline- UNREAL
LA Boca- UNREAL(grilled, not sauteed)

It KILLS me when people won't even try them.

I think that I am a good cook. About a year before moving out I bothered the hell out of my mom to teach me how to cook, of which she did. Learned how to make a good south Louisiana roux and use the trinity. Many a mean chicken stew have come from my kitchen.

Yes for most things; my mom and dad taught me and I supplemented that with internet recipes. I guess my best dish is my red beans. My uncle's beans are fantastic but he won't teach me- "it's a secret."

Are you a good cook?
If so who taught you and what's your best dish?

I like to think so. I'm the main cook for our family. Probably cook 90% of our dinner meals. Wifes specialty is breakfast and soups.

Dad taught me some and self taught the rest.
