Trying to figure out which category I'm in ... but if I have to ask, I probably won't like the answer ....

This man knows how to cook. Adding the garlic at that later stage shows nice finesse.

Someday will you tell us what you think of them?

It's less than an hour's drive from one of the best restaurant cities in the world.

Buy Krug non-vintage. Krug is the greatest champagne house in the world, and their baseline product (the non-vintage) is as good or better than anything else from anyone.

You can spend more on vintage champagnes, including vintage Krug. But that is mostly for connoisseurs indulging a hobby.

Clarified butter is what first-class Western kitchens used to use for a high-heat, neutral-flavored cooking fat. You can make your own by heating butter gently, slightly above the boiling point, until the water boils off (it will stop bubbling), then pouring off the liquid part, leaving the separated milk solids behind ("clarifying" it).

Ghee is a form of clarified butter, although the Indian custom is to let the milk solids brown before clarification, which gives a nutty taste that is delicious, but not always desired. Although many products labeled "ghee" are simply clarified buttter, with no browned taste, because many are not aware of that distinction.

Beef tallow is also great for high-heat cooking. It can be rendered with a neutral flavor, but if it is rendered with muscle attached, it will taste beefy.

Coconut oil can handle high heat, but has a distinctive flavor, which may or may not work with your dish.

All of the above are traditional fats that humans have eaten for millennia.

Soaking dried beans before cooking greatly reduces phytic acid.

I prefer a burger cooked on the grill at home seasoned with a little Dale's sauce with fresh tomatoes and onions from the garden.

Garden and Gun posts pretty pictures but otherwise their content is shite. My wife gets that magazine every month and I often see articles about topics that should be interesting. And they almost always end up being lame, poorly written and generic. This piece of shite list with Big Bob Gibson and Dreamland (at 3rd overall lmfao) is par for their course.

How about Southern Living?

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 neighborhood after dark, but they do have a drive-through (hence the name).

Many get excited about the butter burgers at Solly's Grille. (I don't understand the hype, personally.)

Try both Leon's and Kopp's to determine Milwaukee's, and thus the world's best frozen custard.
