Well, that's right Einstein, you got it correct, that's food being stored into your jetliner for you to purchase at 35,000 feet.

In this blog post, I'll share with you something funny from SNL. It's a skit called Cooking With Paul. Paul is a 3 time sex offender, and his sidekick, or probation officer is the Rock. Watch this and have a little chuckle. OK, sex crimes is not funny. However, this is comedy and I think it's hallarious. Again, there is nothing funny about sex crimes.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cooking With Paul- SNL</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iYoejjNaEc8/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iYoejjNaEc8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-84416637227113250562019-03-10T10:46:00.000-07:002019-03-10T10:46:42.955-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Poke' is the king of raw<span style="background-color: white;"> ahi.</span> Forget sushi, it's the thing of the past. Cubed raw tuna, sweet yellow fin tuna, is the cream of the crop. It is the New England Patriots of raw fish. It is the top end Ferrari, the top end cigar. Poke' has become very popular amongst the culinary/foodie world. Poke' shops sprout up around the world in record numbers. But, not every shop will do it right. Doing my research, and asking many of my culinary associates that travel the globe. Some poke' shops aren't good, because they try and do things that are not the way it's supposed to be when it comes to making cubed raw tuna. They will season it with the wrong ingredients. They handle the fish wrong. They use frozen fish. That's totally wrong.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Frozen ahi can be OK, if it's thawed out correctly. If not it becomes mushy. However, this is the story on Tamura's Fine Wine and Liquors poke'. And I know for sure, that they use fresh ahi. How do I know? I got a job there at their poke' counter. The ahi, is flown in from Oahu to Maui, fresh. The loins are delivered daily for us to cut into cubes, and then marinate it with the company's secret recipes. Believe me, the poke' is excellent. Probably the freshest I've tasted. Yes the supermarket chains have them, but they use a lot of frozen fish. Big difference. Not bad. But big difference.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fresh fish trumps frozen. Of course Tamura's will fly in frozen stuff like crab, shrimp, scallops because in Hawaii we can't get those. So frozen is a given with those items. However the ahi is fresh as can be. Below is one of our fish cutters turning the ahi loins into cubes.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXH98rbC7DjTzCOviJlprSencAt6aAu5toezmmY9UGEb24GAwFSQIZ5SvWPXtU8ZYbHMQjuavbECq-DocnZvrcWYhm1e2htAWMTrS8KLMf6Gtt1GEAaHBfp2-JgbTsFBXNgnIVcnqrIY/s1600/Ahi+Tamura%2527s.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVXH98rbC7DjTzCOviJlprSencAt6aAu5toezmmY9UGEb24GAwFSQIZ5SvWPXtU8ZYbHMQjuavbECq-DocnZvrcWYhm1e2htAWMTrS8KLMf6Gtt1GEAaHBfp2-JgbTsFBXNgnIVcnqrIY/s320/Ahi+Tamura%2527s.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The loins come in around 10:00 am or so every day. We set up the displays, making sure most of the case looks good. Then the ahi is the main focus. The sauces comes from the main store in Oahu shipped to the outer islands. We get those various flavors in 5 gallon buckets chilled. One of the best sellers in the Tamura's line up is the Ninja. Sorry, I don't even know the recipe. But it's like a sweet teriyaki with a little heat, or spice. Because of this well desired flavor, and it's popularity, we get wiped out quickly. Just the other day, I mixed several pans of that flavor, and it was wiped out fast! Visitors as well as the local crowd line up for that. And there's also bowls with white or brown rice to be eaten, or what Tamura's markets as <span style="color: #660000;"><b>Poke' Bowls. </b></span>For around 11.99 to 15.99 you can get a bowl with fresh poke' and rice, and that's a meal. Just the other day our prices went up to 17.99 per pound. Not cheap for locals that work for a living. But. They do flock for it. So that's a good example in business, if it's quality they will buy. You won't need to sell it, they will come in droves to buy it, and boom! Glen Tamura the owner, why he's laughing to the bank baby!&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj893ZP2fDv0fwkFNM0dA89R_bw79RWzsZqFt9DW3bV4C_RZesQuEEKqDzMnSI11r8i3IO5kQQ4aJwX-g7GBXpt8lGvH5rdtduYV8dMScoSfiVnpCW4yqq0ixXJMFSVceOPhh4s85pWeU4/s1600/Ninja+Tamura%2527s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="640" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj893ZP2fDv0fwkFNM0dA89R_bw79RWzsZqFt9DW3bV4C_RZesQuEEKqDzMnSI11r8i3IO5kQQ4aJwX-g7GBXpt8lGvH5rdtduYV8dMScoSfiVnpCW4yqq0ixXJMFSVceOPhh4s85pWeU4/s320/Ninja+Tamura%2527s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fresh made Ninja Poke'</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.tamurasfinewine.com/">Tamura's Fine Wine</a></b></span></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-8823748680148689972019-03-07T14:37:00.003-08:002019-03-07T14:37:30.168-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Baseball season is the best time of the year. </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">March to October,</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I am totally into it.

And in this video, we will take a look at a sandwich called the Aloha Sandwich, made with Hawaiian sweet bread, grilled chicken breast, grilled pineapples, and a slaw. It looked great. I wish I was at Wrigley right now...of course to eat, and not root for the Cubs.

How do I cook crab? For myself, I'll usually toss it into hot water, and boil it for a few minutes until the shell turns pink or red, off the heat, remove it from the hot water, and chop it up, serve it with garlic butter. Nothing special, I watched my mother cook crab that way so I guess it stuck with me since I was a kid. However, in this video I got on You Tube, this cook will teach you about boiling it, and steaming it east coast style. He uses seasonings that maybe different from what you use. So sit back relax and enjoy two different methods of cooking blue crab.</span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Boiled VS Steamed Blue Crabs</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Head To Head Comparison</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Nt0C4ERGUPw/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nt0C4ERGUPw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b>_________________________________________________________________________________</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbVOWXKX8yZ9mH2Stq4JK20yoOAR515l5nC_7WRta1LUsL8IrG9gIpdPZz6-1FgZtj0jTCxRWqOkcL4jjFJFqx2jWpge5vpga5iPNKEw8Ti_KVaAoIznVsHfo0oEzEPF5X1uEFJoYcTs/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSbVOWXKX8yZ9mH2Stq4JK20yoOAR515l5nC_7WRta1LUsL8IrG9gIpdPZz6-1FgZtj0jTCxRWqOkcL4jjFJFqx2jWpge5vpga5iPNKEw8Ti_KVaAoIznVsHfo0oEzEPF5X1uEFJoYcTs/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</a></b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-90657860463224824582019-03-04T10:52:00.001-08:002019-03-04T10:52:15.252-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: large;">Clam chowder- New England style, my favorite period.

So what will we discuss for the first blog of March? Let's discuss eating right for hypertension and diabetes. For our high blood pressure, let's try and keep it around the 120/80. And keep our blood sugars low as well. By continuing to practice healthy eating and cooking, we can possibly get off of medication.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>High Blood Pressure/Hypertension Diet</b></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;Low sodium always, stay away from canned foods that has a lot of sodium and preservatives. Canned cream of mushroom soup is out of the question. Instant ramen? Ah... you crazy? Spam? Big time nay! Canned sloppy Joes? Negative!</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Eat more whole foods, fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat your proteins like lean meats, skinless chicken breast, salmon, ahi tuna, seafood, just don't smother it with high sodium soy sauce, and high salted seasonings.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Diabetes</b></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Drinking coffee in the morning but want it sweet? Use a fresh fruit juice insteand of white sugar. Even a little brown sugar should be safe. <span style="color: red;">(Check with your personal physician). </span>Eat fruits instead of pastries from that corner bakery. I know their donuts and cream puffs are awesome, but do you want your glycemic levels to go popping throught the atmosphere? No you don't. So eat right.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Regular Cokes or Pepsi? Nay! A large Twix? Nay again! Pancakes smothered in your childhood favorite maple syrup? Get real, nope! Can you treat yourself with a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut? OK, maybe once in a while, like maybe half a donut. OK, eat the whole one, but make sure you keep checking your blood readings. <span style="color: red;">(Check with your personal physician).</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;">All in all, just use common sense when you are going out for some eats. Or if you are cooking, then watch your ingredients going into that pot. OK folks, happy March.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I was hoping the Dodgers would have signed Bryce Harper, but oh well, he signed with Philly for 330 million dollars.

Take care folks, and happy life eh? :)</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">______________________________________________________</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvv-xSB6h8iFnyiBuCqpHB-6XnOcvt8KMEV17vZDmOMUR2955cgyVZJ0S5s5euIWeZYV8-EszMYLyU3RcGbALe5OVW3CcWQYdx5BUQLUnwS7aKSfpnCDrRPe5j6ZaMc6YCUYtZSMHtRg/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvv-xSB6h8iFnyiBuCqpHB-6XnOcvt8KMEV17vZDmOMUR2955cgyVZJ0S5s5euIWeZYV8-EszMYLyU3RcGbALe5OVW3CcWQYdx5BUQLUnwS7aKSfpnCDrRPe5j6ZaMc6YCUYtZSMHtRg/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</b></span></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> </div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-50668232368486143232019-02-28T02:21:00.005-08:002019-02-28T02:21:57.818-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">In this blog post, I put a You Tube video on food costs. If you want to open an eatery, this short video will be very informative. The instructor is a chef and entrepreneur. He states that many people working in the food service industry in key positions do not know the basics on what a plate of food costs. That is one of the most basic things anyone in business must know. And that is how much did it cost you to purchase your items to be sold. To make a profit, you aren't going to purchase expensive ground beef like $50.00 per pound, and expect to make any money by selling a 1/2 pounder with cheese for 12.99. If you are you are an idiot big time. Even drug dealers are more aware on their costs. Hey if you go into business, you need some street smarts. I'd take the street smart guy anyday, and by-pass the university grad.</span><br /> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>The Restaurant Boss</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QpYX4GfSiHA/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QpYX4GfSiHA?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b>_________________________________________________________________________________</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_GCETx6Oc1ubZxL14kcPdRF5C0rnwSxNeszt9623diwQZdPR5YvQZGU_Q2qtGAALYDUEOIWbkmTnqMwAXsJ7QLEilye692rsZGDDI8RfqUmYxp5W87OgsPLGgEpT1-x7nU08YDO71QU/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_GCETx6Oc1ubZxL14kcPdRF5C0rnwSxNeszt9623diwQZdPR5YvQZGU_Q2qtGAALYDUEOIWbkmTnqMwAXsJ7QLEilye692rsZGDDI8RfqUmYxp5W87OgsPLGgEpT1-x7nU08YDO71QU/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</span></b></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-48063018655714666722019-02-28T02:05:00.000-08:002019-02-28T02:05:30.598-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Money guru Dave Ramsey in this video listens to one of his callers who is a woman that want to open her own food truck in Texas. If you are thinking of opening up any business this short video is interesting. Not like Shart Tank, however the caller explains the cost to Dave, as he interupts her at times to explain that she does not need certain components at her stage of the game, as she is a newby to the food truck industry. She explains that she wants to hire employees, and Dave gives her a thumbs down on that, as he explains to her that she will be doing most of the work. Dave keeps it real. And that's just the way business are born. Starting with very little and growing it day by day, on sale at a time.</span></span><br /> <span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Dave Ramsey</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><b><i>The Dave Ramsey Show</i></b></span></span></div> <span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><br /></span></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qdgzqj89hI8/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qdgzqj89hI8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b>_________________________________________________________________________________</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIOqGyiCMgZCOIuGMWEYHBKK-QiTeyXFvjLQlWnKGff6NYsaHxxuVTHWcgUCPxBXbF3005y7EAHF7ZBQQ4x_3eg3tZTx8G0JnfHQtrTFJMda-AYdLM9K5L1Dr1EWGMmTulzAKhgtCu4kY/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIOqGyiCMgZCOIuGMWEYHBKK-QiTeyXFvjLQlWnKGff6NYsaHxxuVTHWcgUCPxBXbF3005y7EAHF7ZBQQ4x_3eg3tZTx8G0JnfHQtrTFJMda-AYdLM9K5L1Dr1EWGMmTulzAKhgtCu4kY/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><b><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</span></b></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><br /></span></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-38256223743888318512019-02-28T01:46:00.002-08:002019-02-28T01:46:39.954-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this video, you will see for just a few minutes, what induction cooking is doing for the professional kitchens and chefs. <a href="http://www.vollrath.com/">Vollrath</a><span style="background-color: white;">&nbsp;is a company based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. They manufacture almost everything a restaurant will need in large numbers. The Vollrath name can be found in almost every kitchen around the globe. Take a peek inside of your favorite local diner, I bet you anything you will see the Vollrath name on a pot or pan, or maybe the salad bar. Go to their website and check it out.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Induction cooking has many good points. It is based on magnetics. A cooking vessel must contain steel. The induction cook top does not get physically hot, hence you can put your hand on the surface even with the power on and not feel the heat. The friction by magnetics causes the steel vessel to get heated. Chefs are finding out that induction cooking has many benefits.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Benefits include precise cooking temperatures. Unlike cooking with a gas produced flame that can be unreliable, the induction production of heat can be dialed in correctly almost 100 % of the time. Old school cooking methods using flame as a source for heat would have a chef making a Hollandaise sauce using a double boiler. However with induction cooking, a chef can dial in to a lower temperature and hold it at that for a long time. Hence an egg sauce will not burn, nor melting chocolates. Watch this video of what Vollrath has to offer if you want to open an eatery. Or if you just want some induction equipment for your home. Vollrath manufactures some very handsome, fine quality home cookware as well.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Vollrath Induction Cooking</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DRqr-LE8KqU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DRqr-LE8KqU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> _________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlB5LdK5nhe3JBCsEt3RrcDG1uds-RGdvAZaeCrXCp-8m751TjKbDYBkCOhy_qQogW5o37CA8SzDwq2qeHzGlKQhUBrshgwLhQO9ShJ8hYMjIwPQkzNS0Pz3mZVrdedFhFFaWmF3Xlsc/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlB5LdK5nhe3JBCsEt3RrcDG1uds-RGdvAZaeCrXCp-8m751TjKbDYBkCOhy_qQogW5o37CA8SzDwq2qeHzGlKQhUBrshgwLhQO9ShJ8hYMjIwPQkzNS0Pz3mZVrdedFhFFaWmF3Xlsc/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</span></b></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-33739115542583803332019-02-25T22:31:00.002-08:002019-02-25T22:31:35.152-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Hiroyuki Terada</span> is one of my favorite You Tube chefs. He specializes in sushi making. Afterall he is a master sushi chef from Japan. In this video he breaks apart a huge ass live Maine lobster. He steams the huge claws, body and tail and proceeds to make a huge ass lobster sushi roll. His Deba looked small compared to the huge 10 + pound lobster.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now here's a few tips on steaming times for a whole lobster.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3/4-1 pound in boiling water for about 8 minutes</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1- 1 1/4 pound about 10 minutes</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1 1/2 - 2 pounds 11 minutes.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Obviously this lobster that Hiroyuki is steaming was too huge for any pot he had in his studio. So he broke down each piece and using a digital scale weighed each piece he steamed. He actually went 9 minutes per pound. Adding 2 minutes per additional pound. This is key.

He's got a simple method, just watch. I've never made prime rib this way, because he puts a 6 pounder in the oven at 500 deg. F, for 30 minutes. Then offs the heat, and lets the prime rib sit in the closed oven for 2 hours, and it comes out perfect, medium rare. I usually go slow and low, like maybe 4 hours at 300 degrees, and just watch the inserted thermometer until it reaches around 130 deg F. Whatever your style, or you are just interested watch this video it's a cool take on home cooking.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dAHJZ3aXKzU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dAHJZ3aXKzU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> _________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJD619PSMY_ePY2uHs9eG4mNfg3KBPWAE_VwPs3H4_M4h1BzfcW44mU4T7snoavaIiCGQVrgVAMe-3gen3cATARafu2rFIQ3AA4Ym8ku69TZaKax_29zZi8Ed5y-OcQU0FoOg07beXfCU/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJD619PSMY_ePY2uHs9eG4mNfg3KBPWAE_VwPs3H4_M4h1BzfcW44mU4T7snoavaIiCGQVrgVAMe-3gen3cATARafu2rFIQ3AA4Ym8ku69TZaKax_29zZi8Ed5y-OcQU0FoOg07beXfCU/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><b><span style="font-size: large;">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</span></b></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-76345256321175993142019-02-25T21:16:00.001-08:002019-02-25T21:16:50.599-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this blog I'll introduce you to&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.foodforlife.com/">EZEKIEL 4:9 ORGANIC ALL GRAIN BREAD</a>.

These goofballs are funny. They went out and bought a lot of burgers and fries from Mc Donald's, and some pizza from Little Caesars. They joined together a lot of flour tortillas using an iron you would use to get the wrinkles out from your clothes. Just watch, as some of you for sure will find this entertaining, while some of you may find this rather sickening. I think it's funny. But it's not funny if you told me, "Ron there's a lot of starving people on the streets, and these guys are just wasting food." Yeah I'd feel bad. But- for what it is... it's funny. I'm sure these guys donate whatever they can to just causes. I don't think they are A holes.

It's a topic of converstation many times at the table when sharing meals. Someone will shy away from eating that cream puff fearing a spike in their sugar level. Others will ask if the restaurant they are eating at will serve something other than white sticky rice or garlic bread. Possibly quinoa or an all-grain bread, or steamed vegetables. Having diabetes can be difficult.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm not an expert, so before you use this method of sweetening your coffee, or tea, consult with your certified nutritionist or physician. But what I'm about to say is some of my friends with diabetes have been using natural sweeteners and still do good with their blood checks. Instead of artificial sweeteners that can cause other illnesses, one friend has been using raw sugar, and many times apple juice.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZZ8kpBnFccl4abQYyA5cHN-4lt0g0UqI0_cf3_KJS4F7lc3fKyzt4tfVowB7rPO1MiU7XoqHHE8IpVlU27BxImRE3cLv8scekEBILKX8YWVV0ctDTCYTrL1hzbSQ8PdxiOgHJhKzhic/s1600/Apple+Juice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="838" data-original-width="1024" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZZ8kpBnFccl4abQYyA5cHN-4lt0g0UqI0_cf3_KJS4F7lc3fKyzt4tfVowB7rPO1MiU7XoqHHE8IpVlU27BxImRE3cLv8scekEBILKX8YWVV0ctDTCYTrL1hzbSQ8PdxiOgHJhKzhic/s320/Apple+Juice.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What takes oragnic apples and puts it in a food processor and mashes it up with the juices coming out. All natural sweet. Of course you don't want to over dose on apples or brown sugar, just watch your intake. So for an 8 oz. cup of hot coffee, he adds in a little low fat cream, and like a couple tablespoons of mashed up apples and its juices.

Cooking your own food or purchasing healthy whole foods is the best for you. If you need to eat at fast food restaurants, what you can do, is eat the most healthiest foods that you can find on the menu. And drink lots of water. Water instead of sodas, and juices. Even diet sodas can be harmful with all the man made ingredients. You can be healthy, you can live without your medication if you change your life. It's not easy.

Make it low in sodium so that we minimize our high blood pressure. And that goes just as well for our kids. The importance of keeping our blood pressure in check is no doubt vital. My nephew is not even 20 yet, and he has hypertension. Controlling our emotions also keeps our pressure low and in check. Instead of road rage, take a deep breath. Afterall we can't really control other people's driving. Like my dad always said, "You can't win in this life." Well, we can have our victories, but really we can't control certain events is what he really meant.

The definition is correct. Chef. The true chef puts in years of hard work to perfect his or her game in the professional kitchen. I mean years. I can never honestly call some kid straight out of C school a chef. Though some graduate and work for a restaurant, and immediately they are chefs, or because of social media are self proclaimed chefs. Not even close. It's like taking judo, joining a dojo, and you get a black belt real fast. When you are put to the test, you better show action, if not you'll be run out of town fast. Sushi chefs take years to perfect their craft. And that's just making the rice. So Johnny at Shopping Center Sushi that learned how to roll a Cali can't be a chef right then and there. He's just a twister.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="df" role="text"><span class="gp tg_df"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span class="df" role="text"><span class="gp tg_df"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Chefs that paid their dues are knowledgeable about their cuisine. Usually if an Italian chef stays the course and not go into other genres, he will no doubt be a master by the time he retires. Understand, you need to do the time to be called a chef. A chef, understands his methods, techniques, his suppliers, his kitchen setup, costs of everything, food, employees. He or she does the scheduling of all staff. A chef comes into the kitchen early, and usually is the last to leave. That's the true chef. I observe some of these young guys in their early 30's with tattoos that have that chef coat on, and some of them conduct themselves totally unprofessional. Sure they can sear a piece of ahi and drizzle some concoction over it, and make the plate pretty, but they haven't done the time yet. Thanks to social media, and shows like the Food Network, kids think being a chef is easy. Go to C school, get cerified, work for a well known restaurant under a well known rock star chef and they are perfect. They'll be featured in their local paper, and they'll get hundreds of likes from social media. Big deal? Well- yeah it is, but like I said, put in the time.</span></span></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><br /></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When you watch a professional retire, he or she will have proof they were bad ass. A doctor, attorney, carpenter, engineer, business owner. When these types retire, they will have a list of accomplishments several miles long. Kobe Bryant, 20 years in the NBA, 5 titles! Michael Jordan, 6 titles. Magic Johnson 5 titles. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in golf, accomplishments, championships. If you like them or not, in their particular field they are proven. Chefs? Hey put your time in first.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Respect comes from getting dirty with your team. Not just barking orders, "Hey move it, cut those bags of onions!" No, respect comes from the lowest person on staff when they see the chief of the kitchen get down and dirty, prepping, slicing, chopping to help out. Even lending a hand to the dishwasher. Leaders serve first. Chefs I worked with that did the dirty work, I'd do anything for if asked, within professional reason of course. So if any young up and coming chef is reading this, you better lead by example. Yes you need to be firm, and strong if not your staff will run all over you. However, you can be firm, professional, and still a good person to your staff. And I know chefs got egos. I got chefs in my family. And working for them in the kitchen, it's all hard ball baby! If you can't stand getting yelled at, stay away from the kitchen and go park cars. I been yelled at by chefs, called names by chefs. But they are the way they are. After the shift, we usually share a few beers. I've seen others wilt. But the chefs that yelled at me to move my ass, well they had every right to. Why? I can be a lazy ass haha. But like I said, those guys ran the trenches, they helped out. I worked for flakes as well. Guys that just sat in their office with the hot waitress chick. F him. No respect for those ball sacks!</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A true chef understands his kitchen to a T. He is familiar with the electrical set up. He can even get that pipe wrench and fix a leaky pipe. A true chef is strong, not weak. If the chillers need to be moved for some new ones, he will gather his team to move it. They don't wait, they take control. True chefs don't hesitate, they move quickly. Their decison making process is swift. If they need to prepare a VIP dinner for 1,000 they will plan in advance. They understand all the variables. Where is this to be staged? Indoors or outside? How many are vegans, how man have allergies. For 1,000 people, what's the total cost going to be for the menu prepared? They have to be swift in math. Their minds are made for multi-tasking. If you can't deal with multiple items at any one time, forget being a chef. Go park cars buddy! And true chefs are never sloppy. They are impecable. A dirty towel sits on the prep table? Someone's ass is going to be chewed out. Rinse water not clear? Mr. Dishman will get an earful. Too much meat on that chicken carcass? Prepcook will get his! True chefs will never waste anything.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Chefs will work well with the owners of the restaurant. Or if he or she is the owner, they will work well with landlords, and local officials that put local rules or laws regarding the food and beverage industry into effect. Yeah they need to be people who can work with people.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Skills. A true chef understand how to do the butchering of meats. (Unless he or she is a vegan chef).. Even breaking down large fish like tunas, salmon and the like. I've worked with so-called chefs that had no basic idea on how to take meat off of a whole chicken. Or filet a fish. I'm serious. I'm like, "What fck school did you attened? You can't even figure out how to debone a fck chicken? Really?" No respect for those so-called chefs.</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here's the thing. Chefs in training, stick to one cuisine first and be totally masterful of that. If you are learning Japanese, spend years at it. Perfecting your craft. There's nothing wrong with working for many different restaurants. However, I have a chef friend that is good at many cuisines, but master at none. She's very mediocre at best. She jumps around from Mexican, to Italian, to India, to Chinese to Hawaiian foods. But she doesn't spend years perfecting any of those. She learns a little bit, and puts her own cute twist on everything. It's like if I was learning building maintenance. If I just watched a plumbler for a few days, and then the electrician for a few days, and the carpenter for a few days and said, "Hey I got it." Then go out on trouble calls and completely do a half ass job at the apartment complex, I'd be the laughing stock. Words of the wise, spend years perfecting your craft. If you want to be the best barbeque chef, spend time at that craft. If you want to be a Chinese chef, spend time at the wok. Master it. Become it. The problem today is these young kids don't want to put in the time. Just because you can make a decent pan sauce, does not make you bad ass folks.&nbsp;</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">True chefs at the end of their careers look it. I mean they do. Even if they workout, they look worn out. And that's because they paid their dues. So don't be fooled by those pretty chefs on television. Makeup artists you know, they make people look good. Chefs got bad backs, sore bodies, wornout knees. True chefs are really like athletes. So, for me, I'll see how a chef operates before I can really say, "Yeah this chef is true to his craft, to his profession. He respects it in all aspects." And also, just because you wanted to learn about food and beverage and got your certificate, unless you've put in your time. You are just a backyard cook or bartender with a certificate. If you aren't going pro with your goods, you're just a neighborhood foodie.</span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span class="msDict t_core" d:abs="1" id="m_en_us1232387.001" style="display: block; margin-left: 1.3em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0.4em;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-40389129888911689742019-02-14T18:04:00.000-08:002019-02-14T18:04:07.171-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this post, I'm going back in time. Most of you that know me, understand my dislike of the new age cooking or food shows. Too <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">gimicky. Must be older age. Anyhow, one of my favorite shows was on the Food Network, and that was Emeril Live. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Emeril was an entertainer, he knew how to work a crowd. A lot of my true chef associates cannot stand him. I think, it could be... jelousy? Maybe eh? Well I for one loved his live show with his band playing. It was like David Letterman meets the Galloping Gourmet. On this classic episode, Emeril cooks with beer. If you like him or not, here is the You Tube video.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #073763; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Emeril Live</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #073763; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Cooking with Beer</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #073763; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Food Network</b></span></span></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eylOhqj8xcQ/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eylOhqj8xcQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> _________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrh1M9_qpyhiOGUPsvBfz9daynYyXelsNR11RkMQgoiVgUOLQpY9JrmN4SaiQbFN7UBHZinCIQ1AMixI6K9a4MdT5D-o699UnqqttyZbkYw1e_rr3DSNgIA68Vw-10PtzlqoI26qYYTsM/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrh1M9_qpyhiOGUPsvBfz9daynYyXelsNR11RkMQgoiVgUOLQpY9JrmN4SaiQbFN7UBHZinCIQ1AMixI6K9a4MdT5D-o699UnqqttyZbkYw1e_rr3DSNgIA68Vw-10PtzlqoI26qYYTsM/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><b><span style="font-size: large;">www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</span></b></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275444682188983427.post-62643750288551315782019-02-14T17:53:00.000-08:002019-02-14T17:53:18.057-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s1600/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNRQfKQ5TsfRk4Cayy2fTXGgPJPn2AgxVWnQRPJQszsl4qtqqh5hsCou_nvALFPFNmt3SV6xQwfpxzk-kbX6d_6OcjwxZPBjXOvrbalLQheCFxiOfCgldhQHZ8f9uJY4M6JuTE4YlHk4/s320/ME+WITH+CLEAVER+IN+KITCHEN.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One thing that television shows always instilled was food. Every show on t.v. had something to do with food. Cop shows, two detectives eating a donut in their unmarked car. Alice from the Brady Bunch cooking for the kids in her blue uniform. Cheers, patrons drinking beer and eating bar food. So one of my favorite weekend shows Saturday Night Live did a spoof on President Clinton back in 1992, I had to post this. It was classic comedy. The late Phil Hartman portrayed the president to a T. Perfect. The writers did a great job using Mc Donald's as the foundation to this sketch. In the sketch, Hartman as Clinton goes for a jog with two secret service agents. One of the agents tells Clinton "We only jogged three blocks." That's when the fun begins because it was said in a Mc Donalds that was busy with lots of people who knew who he was. Chris Farley who also died portrayed a hardware store owner, as he sat in a booth with his son. Clinton visits, and eats Farley's son's pickles that were left out of the kid's sandwich because the kid dislikes pickles. Watch this comedy sketch as laughter is also a part of living a healthy life. And since this is a food blog, well- Mc Donald's comes into the picture, in a humorous way.</span><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Saturday Night Live 1992</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton in a Mc Donalds.</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eYt0khR_ej0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eYt0khR_ej0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> _________________________________________________________________________________</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzTq6xnS7O1T3snBtfrYwFZ44PtECf6L_dcaR0Hfylo4wTEYmhyXU1UJS8RP5-gAwqjrYjeiYfuRwUFIWWpgG0sOAWa5FJcBtfJTpHJDxwczNeZXecnKqyyVhpRTDfyRfmLdnBSKBrsY/s1600/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzTq6xnS7O1T3snBtfrYwFZ44PtECf6L_dcaR0Hfylo4wTEYmhyXU1UJS8RP5-gAwqjrYjeiYfuRwUFIWWpgG0sOAWa5FJcBtfJTpHJDxwczNeZXecnKqyyVhpRTDfyRfmLdnBSKBrsY/s320/golden_steer_las_vegas_main.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.goldensteerlasvegas.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>www.goldensteerlasvegas.com</b></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Ron Sambranohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842787345168690458noreply@blogger.com0
