Round 1 of 3. Smoked and braised beef short ribs.
The great smoke of 2025.

Bit out of practice. First boulle in about 17mos. Pretty happy with the ear on this one.
I haven't made much pasta in that time either. That's the next item up on the prep table. Lets see how the wrist holds up to that. But first I need to bake off 2 more boulles for this weekend.

On the prep table today. Stage 2 of 3 in the prep of my favorite bite from the last year. Takes 2 days. But for such a simple looking bite, it delivers crazy depth of flavor.
Sweet potato tataki.
Gets served with shio negi sauce. And charred green onion aioli.

Our first big event of the year. Its a great start to what is going to be a very busy year!

Scallop crudo. Campari, watermelon, and chili. Absolutely loving this flavor combo. This one will stay in rotation for a while.
Hoping everyone has had a bit of downtime to recover. 2025 here we come!

My sons and I had the opportunity to forge some knives yesterday. What a great experience we had. And walked away with an increasing love of forging/knifecraft. But also these awesome knives.
You can do it as well. Give a call or check out their website. It's a day you won't soon forget. I know my 3boys and I will remember it fondly for a long long time.
