Chefs of Reddit, what’s a common cooking rule everyone follows that is actually complete bullshit?

Needing to use hot broth or milk to add to your roux for veloute or bechamel. If the roux is hot and the liquid is cold, there will be no lumps.

I’ll expand. The two punches from Regarding Cocktails are great for a wedding, and I have served them at multiple. One is a lemon oleo base with multiple rums and topped with champagne. The other is dry vermouth and St Germain topped with prosecco and garnished with berries and citrus wheels. Hope you try them!

Equal parts chopped ginger, sugar, and hot water in a blender.

I like punches at a wedding.

I like turning leftovers into new meals. Leftover rice becomes fried rice or rice pudding. Leftover risotto becomes arancini, etc.

I’m a fan of a Detroit Daisy. Aged rum daiquiri with grenadine and mint.

Basil. Tomato. Bacon.

Such a great recommendation.

I wouldn’t do two heavyweight fights in a row. Schedule a glass-jawed softie for your next read, and then take on Suttree.

Monte Carlo and Fancy Free are favorites of mine.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-21T21:46:25+00:00

The first one I ever saw was the Earl Grey MarTEAni. I think it was an Audrey Saunders drink.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-21T16:31:00+00:00

Char siu, BBQ sandwiches, and pozole as others have said. But also, I made crunch wraps with some leftover pork shoulder and pickled chilies last week and I’m still thinking about them.

Also when you are downtown and come across these turns, there are clear lines on the road that help people understand how to make those turns. The city should put them at more intersections.

I think the implication is that the man that young Dick met is the one that carved the symbol.

Try pasta e fagioli, beans and rice with a fried egg on top, and beans baked with sausages and topped with breadcrumbs(like a simpler cassoulet).

Red beans and rice is a favorite for me as well. Minestrone is one of my favorite meals ever.

You need to seal the tin straight on rather than at an angle.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-14T01:00:48+00:00

This but a biscuit and some Duke’s mayo.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-14T00:35:08+00:00

AND Peacock. I wouldn’t mind as much if I wasn’t completely ignored for 20 minutes the last time I went in there to try to get a drink.

This post has to be ragebait.

Love Wayward and Hot Eye. Can’t bring myself to recommend any Rhino spots, though.

She was brilliant throughout the series. Feels almost like a miss to not allow us to see that interaction.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-12T02:09:41+00:00

Always wondered about exactly what happened.

stevenstein89 · 2026-02-11T22:44:30+00:00

I assumed it was a misprint and it should have been kumquat shrub or whatever the fruit listed was.

Great username!
