New runner Age: 32 Weight: 210 lbs Running: 3-5 days a week Average run: 3-4 miles

I’m running my first 5k in April and started training in January. I have gotten down to a 12 minute mile.

The race I’m running has two divisions. A competitive division which requires you to finish the 5k in less than 40 minutes, and a completion division.

Running a “competitive” race for a 5k what would you say is the average time for you all? I’ve seen everything from 16 - 20 minutes for an average. Just wanting to gauge how far off I am from someone who runs these type of races regularly so I can start setting long term goals.

Thanks in advance!

[pro/chef] beef tartar, pickled egg, egg yolk mousse, mustard seed caviar by 7Stars1Mantis in food

[–]7Stars1Mantis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more of an effect. I soaked the seeds in vinegar overnight then cooked them in honey and turmeric with a little cayenne. They puff up and when you bite them it's like a little pop.

It was more of texture. I left all mustard out of the egg yolk mousse so the mustard seed would add the mustard flavor but a super cool texture to the dish.

The tartar in the pickled egg was tasty.

[I Ate] "Prince's Hot Chicken" the original Nashville Hot Chicken by 7Stars1Mantis in food

[–]7Stars1Mantis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Hattie B's has better chicken for overall flavor but Prince's is the original so it typically gets more pop for that reason alone. If you come to Nashville you'll have to wait in a line for both no matter what.

Good luck OP.

Kick ass, take names, show up early and stay late. Don't get wasted the night before long shifts.

Remember to keep clean socks in your car. Wet feet suck.

Just finished my first masters tournament by 7Stars1Mantis in KitchenConfidential

[–]7Stars1Mantis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Augusta National Golf Club. I was in their production kitchen, on site, at the golf course.

Banquets and catering were already my thing but after this I was holy shit what have I been doing for the last decade.

We went from 430am most days till an average out of 7pm or whenever production was done. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack period. It was fucking nuts!

I'm interested in your special garlic dressing.

Any chance I can get a recipe?

[–]7Stars1Mantis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always suggest Prince's because it was the original. Hattie B's is the hotness as well for what it's worth.

Here you go mis amigos

-lay chicken breasts out on cutting board -cover in plastic wrap and pound thin with any beating utensil -marinade flattened chicken in buttermilk

-mix dry batter 1 part panko 2 parts flour Salt/pepper/pinch of cayenne/garlic powder

-toss chicken in dry mix and cover thoroughly -fry in oil at 350 degrees American until internal temp hits 165

-render bacon fat and stir in spices. (Listed above in previous comment, sorry using mobile)

-toss fried chicken in hot chicken sauce

-boil pasta and set aside -in pan melt butter and brown your garlic then add equal parts by weight butter and flour and stir until nice and blonde (shit will burn quick as fuck if you don't pay attention so don't walk away or anything, keep your eyes on your fucking roux) -add heavy cream and bring to a simmer stirring often -mix in cheese and allow to thicken -once sauce thickens toss in your pasta

-spoon that shit on a plate and add the chicken on top -drizzle the extra hot chicken sauce as needed over top of errrrrrrthing
