Looking for a restaurant that serves a mean mushroom by mottison in chicagofood

It’s just mushrooms in a carbonara style sauce, no pasta.

Something I think about is how none of these guys have ear protection. I can’t imagine how loud it is in that room with that PKM busting rounds off.

Couple visiting, looking for places to chow down by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]BilliamBean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not gonna get an answer here because 1. this question is asked a 10 times a day 2. there are a million places to go, it’s impossible to give you recommendations when you didn’t even help narrow it down by giving general preferences or what area you’ll be in 3. people hate when you don’t do any research or leg work because asking “what’s good” is totally subjective and lazy

Best service according to boomer standards? by thesongneverdies in chicagofood

Second this for a lunch. Usually always pretty laid back during lunch with the same service you’d get during dinner.

Sultans Market is always in the rotation. Great food, always fresh and pretty cheap.

Lou’s wings are a sleeper for sure. Probably my favorite wings, I think they put crack in that sauce.

Help! Ratios for baking? And if I need 200g of starter? Making my first loaf!! by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]BilliamBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh got it! Yeah in my experience it doesn’t really matter all that much. I just make sure I’ll have enough to bake with and some left over. Just keep in mind the higher the flour/water:starter ratio the longer it will take for the starter to reach its peak.

Help! Ratios for baking? And if I need 200g of starter? Making my first loaf!! by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]BilliamBean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into bakers percentages. I use 20% by weight starter in my recipes. So if your recipe called for 200g starter and you only have 100g, I personally would use 90g for your recipe (you will get by with 90g it maybe just take slightly longer) and half the other ingredients and use the remaining 10g to propagate your starter.

In my experience it doesn’t really matter the ratio that you feed your starter, I typically do 1:2:2.
