I'm an okra guy, don't care for the file. You want the slime! It acts as a thickening agent and allows for a more refined gumbo. I make very dark roux and let it sit for a week to mellow, when you make coffee bean colored roux there isn't much thickening power left, the okra makes up for that. I slime mine out in bacon fat and add it half way through the process. You get the very dark roux flavor w/o hammering the gumbo

Find water source, hoard water, wait for winter. Move north if winter does not apply

Useful but overdone and sometimes foolish. I really believe that food is like fashion, the classics never go out of style. That being said that is a very old (like hundreds of years old) that has been modernized and perfected. Kind of cool!

In the restaurant we grind peppercorns and use kosher, but I agree, it's like people saying fresh tomatoes. Shouldn't that be implied?

Wrong, do you like a nice Kia or a caddie, I trust everybody is a very good passionate cook on this board, I'm just trying to contribute. Brining will make the meat resemble a cheek and not string out

But to each there own!

Are you certified through the ACF, and to what level. Also,cooking is an art, not saying you need to be certified to be a good cook. Did you go to any cooking schools. Can you show us some pics of some nice dishes you have put together. You eat with your eyes first.

Not my area, but I have friends.
35k for outfitted used truck
1500 for inventory
2k for fees
1k for upgrades
Depending on the area you may have to pay a fee to park
Account for insurance and gas

A brick and mortar is 33% food, 15%labor, 15% booze, 20% to turn the lights on, water, repairs ect. You're not going to get rich
