Hate to do this but here's dinner tonight.
2"+ prime bone in NY strip with king crab. I cooked the strip at 130 for 3.5 hours in my sous vide, then seared it in my cast iron skillet at 550° with some of my steak rub and a little bacon grease. The crab legs were just under a pound each.
Getting ready to head into a serious food coma.

This place makes it almost as good as mine. It's one of their signature dishes. It's a place called The Garlic and it's in New Smyrna Beach. That's the same beach we went to when you and Becky came down years ago. They have other very good homemade Italian dishes too... but Cammy and I always get this.
They even have these special Tupperware style to-go tubs with tight fitting lids made just for this dish. It's way too much for one person to finish in one meal. It's one of those foods that tastes super awesome leftover... not all foods are like that... but this definitely is. So we have 2 of those big tubs ready for dinner tonight. Can't wait. They give you homemade bread to take home with you to dunk into the sauce... gotta have that.
They also do a cool thing with garlic. They take a whole "thing" of garlic... not just a clove... a whole thing of it. What is that whole thing called? Anyway... they cook the whole thing so it basically carmelizes. They put a few on a plate and you mash a fork down on it and the garlic is basically a paste like substance. Pour some olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top of that... then dip their killer bread in that before each bite. I'm pretty sure that's how they came up with their name... The Garlic.

That would be a bulb or head. We do that at home with Elephant garlic. It can also be done with large heads of garlic but Elephant garlic bakes to a more spreadable consistency. It's pretty simple. Wrap the head in foil and bake it at 400 for about 20-30 minutes. So good.

So I've prepared meals for 2 people, and for 500. Meals for Executives of Fortune 100 firms, to burgers for 1,000 runners. Worked with black pepper to black truffle.
But the biggest challenge I have ever faced?
Making chicken nuggets that my 10 year old will eat....
Its crazy. I've tried it all. Beer batter, tempura batter, buttermilk, classic country fried, seasoned bread crumb, unseasoned bread crumb, panko....
I guess the biggest problem is that I'm using real chicken. lol

You're probably right about that. LOL
That reminds me of the time that I told my sons I was going to make them the world's greatest mac n cheese. They were very young at the time... and they were very excited while waiting for it to finish cooking.
I literally spent a fortune on the ingredients. I think there were 7 - 10 different kinds of cheese in it alone. I baked it to perfection and even the Japanese bread crumbs on top were the perfect crispyness.
I took one bite of it and thought I was in heaven. It was amazing.
My sons each took a bite themselves after watching me take my first bite. They couldn't wait anymore.
After they tasted it... they all told me the same thing. "This is gross". They wouldn't eat it. So they asked me to make them their usual Kraft mac n cheese out of the box with the fake ass powdered cheese. They said that was the world's greatest. LOL

Yeah... When it comes to chicken nuggets, and mac n cheese and kids, either get them to like real food or buy the crap stuff. I have to admit I've had the same results. My kids now like real mac n cheese but even I didn't like it as a kid.

Ok cheap and affordable Beef Calf Liver with some home made gravey and mash taters.
My old ladies use to walk out when I cooked it lol.
Liver is one if not the most nutrient meats around. Loaded with vitimam's.
Next Maui Maui, I cut out all the dark meat trash it goes. I cut/fillet the white meat in like 2 3 inch pieces.
Then into milk egg they go,when I take them out,into Italian Bread Crumbs.
Then deep fried in Olive Oil for about 5 minutes. Yum

Anybody eat Poke Bowls? Do they have those near you? I’ve started making them at home with Sushi rice, edamame, shredded crab, avacado, shallots, popcorn shrimp, and a wasabi/soy/yum yum sauce. Perdy good if I do say so myself.

Speaking of NSB (I live about an hour from there), Norwood’s (down the street from The Garlic) has an awesome smoked fish dip that they serve with pickled jalapeños. If you have not tried it...do so!

They also have a pretty cool atmosphere at Norwoods if you are able to sit in that tree house looking area. It is a cool place.
NSB is my preferred beach. It's always been more of a Locals beach than a tourist trap. I've been hanging there since High School... I used to surf a lot and that's where I'd go directly after school if I didn't have practice or a game. Nowadays I usually use my beach time for fishing offshore more than surfing or anything else... so we'll spend weekends over there with our boat many times through the year. I always enjoy the restaurants in the evenings while I'm there though. There are a good number of real unique and quality places there for such a small town. Some of my favorite ones have closed recently like El Patron and The Spanish River Grill... but we did discover a great new place on Flagler while we were there a few weeks back. I want to say it's called The 3rd Row or something like that... their breakfasts are amazing. I might even have a pic.
And you probably already know this, but NSB is the shark bite capital of the entire world. So it is kinda famous for that. Plus... I think that might scare many tourists the hell away! Fine by me. LOL

Yeah... so here's a pic of what my wife had for breakfast at that place. It was chorizo sausage, grilled potatoes, eggs, cheese, onions, and other fatty goodness. She had already picked through a bunch of it before I got the pic. You can tell she was pretty well done eating if you look close... because you'll see her margarita she had decided to switch over to. Hahaha. They make their own fresh marg mix and it is fantastic.
Obviously it was a kinda "late" breakfast.
