Good Service Can Save A Bad Meal,

My College Degree Was In Theater. But The Real Reason, If I Have Any Success In That Milieu, So To Speak, Is Because I Spent A Lot Of Years Directing, I Spent A Lot Of Years Behind The Camera

'outlaw Cook' Was A Revelation. Folks Like Jeff Smith And Marcella Hazan Got Me Interested In Cooking, But John Thorne Pushed Me Into The Path That I Follow To This Day. This Is The Only Cookbook I've Ever Read That Understands How Men Really Eat: Over The Sink, In The Dark, Greasy To The Elbows.

Basting Is Evil. Basting Does Nothing For The Meat. Why? Skin. Skin Is Designed To Keep Stuff Out Of The Bird, So Basting Just Lets Heat Out Of The Oven. That Means The Turkey Will Take Longer To Cook... So Don't Touch That Door!

I Feel Like Being On Broadway Will Convince My Mother That My Theater Degree Was Worth It.

I Feel A Strong Wakeup Call And Need To Build Social Connections.
