this is that new shit

meh,
strawberry clafoutis- didnt hate it, used Jacques Pepins recipe, so, maybe i just dont like egg custard.
pancakes for dinner- good, but like Mitch Hedbeg says. Pancakes are great at first but by the end your fuckin' sick of em'
I really want like a nice big chunk f brisket right now, im seroiusly contimplating asking my butvher to sell me a whole Primal more dinner tommorow.
Bacon fat is the new butter.
shallots should not be 2 for $1.59
if your still using crappy iodized salt at this point, just kill yourself.
i used to hate hearing higher up chefs say shit like, "oh, i dont eat 'junk food', im beyond that." but the other day i bout a whopper from BK and was disgusted, all i could taste was underripe and overripe veggies, smothered with mayo undoubtedly from a bag, a bun of inferior quality that was crumbley despite having been "toasted" and a thin, over-cooked meat pattie that was a think as all the cheaper burgers, just wider. iwas about to cut a bitch.
and then i realized, that kinda food really just isnt good to me anymore, which im both proud of and disgusted with myself for.
i went home and came up wit this.

the "homewrecker"
-one brioche bun-toasted on flat-top.
-barrel vinagered kosher dill pickles. sliced
-1/2 lb 80/20 ground sirlion. Rare to mid-rare, wood, charcoal grilled. baisted with reserved bacon fat
-thick slices aged blue cheese, like a stilton if you can get it. steam melt onto both bun sides
-crisp romaine
-high-grain dry mustard, i like ingle-hoffer's
-heirloom tomatoe slices, razor RAZOR thin,
-thick cut bacon- Excessive fat removed- pan fried-peppered
- avacado slices, thinly for best texture.
-carmelized onions- cooked in bacon fat, deglaze pan with beef stock and port for au jus to serve

assemble, plate in pleasant fashion serve with pomme-frites and jus, with German Beer or Ale
