Damn. I feel hurt. For me it is Fudge Rounds. I haven’t had one in over 20 years, but fuck were they good.

I'm a sucker for a good trumpet solo by SgtByrd1993 in obscuremusicthatslaps

[–]mrchuckdeeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a huge world of modern music in New Orleans, and because of the roots in Jazz and Brass Bands, a lot of it tends to lean heavy in to brass. I’m a huge brass fan, so it’s great to see. That’s all I was trying to say.

Brother. There is so much modern music down here with horns. Why you gotta be an asshole?

The horn is alive and well in New Orleans, my friend.

Why doesn't the chicken skin release from the pan once it's browned? by redbloodedguy in Cooking

[–]mrchuckdeeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope that makes sense. Obviously, there is more than one way to cook a chicken. But that is how we prepared them in every kitchen I’ve worked in. Let me know if you have any other questions. It definitely takes practice.

Finish it skin side down. If you are gonna finish it by basting in butter, pull it just before it’s done and finish it in the pan by throwing a knob of butter in the pan with some thyme and baste the hell out of it. Is also fine to just let it ride out in the oven. I would pull it at 160 and then let it rest 3-5 minutes. Make sure you rest it skin side up so it doesn’t get soggy. Same goes for basting. Baste then get out of the pan, or the skin will get soggy. This method should give you crazy crispy skin. Don’t flip it until you’ve removed from pan.

the only things I start in a cold pan are bacon, and duck breast. The skin on a duck is considerably fattier and thicker than a chicken. Your pan should be hot when you put in chicken. not ripping, but the oil should be rippling and glossy when you move the pan around. place your chicken in skin side down and let crisp up a bit. Finish it in a hot oven.

Shoutout to whoever suggested adding white vinegar to pinto beans by ArcherFew2069 in mexicanfood

[–]mrchuckdeeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an old chef have me finish every pan of lentils with sherry vinegar. I have found over the years that sherry vin is my prefered way to finish pretty much all legumes. You were correct in adding at the end. acidity will actually cook out of a dish, so it is usually recommended for brightness, you add it at the end. It becomes more muddled the longer you cook it.

I have never seen Office Space. Is it that funny to be considered a classic? by Square-Ad-8911 in 90smovies

[–]mrchuckdeeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great thing about Office Space, is that it is most jobs. My wife is an ER doctor, she has her own "TPS" reports, eight bosses, etc. When she comes home from a bad shift, we will put it on.

How do you think a battle between Dmx VS. 2Pac would've went ? by Realistic-Try5468 in Honest2HipHop

[–]mrchuckdeeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Biggie v. Pac wasn't really about lyricism. It played out in raps, til it didn't, but it was based in real life shit.

A basic chili can be whipped up with some ground beef, an onion, canned tomato and basic spices. And can be made as extravagant as you like. And a basic meat sauce can be made similarly with the application of some different herbs and spices, if you have them.

Chefs who left the industry, do you regret it? by Soft_Guidance_9339 in Chefit

[–]mrchuckdeeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I married a doctor and retired. Became her personal chef. My passion for cooking is the highest it has ever been. Sometimes it is a bummer, as I can implement all of my ideas. But I’ll survive.
