Last weekend I went to Vegas to see my favorite band Phish play at the Sphere. I’ve been seeing Phish since my first show which was in Vegas in 1998. I’ve seen them over 100x by now but what I saw at the Sphere absolutely blew my mind. It was the most incredible concert experience I’ve ever seen. My buddy described it as “having a VR headset on while sitting next to the soundboard”

Look at that crust @David Chang

I was inspired by @remi cook of my Peruvian polo a la brass so decided to make it tonight. Never disappoints 

@tony bi ate at a good Peruvian place yesterday and struck up a conversation with the chef who asked me where I sourced ingredients in San Diego…told him I grow my aji  Amarillo and we got to discussing the Peruvian green sauce…the real stuff used a herb called Huacatay and I purchase a plant yesterday https://thegrowers-exchange.com/products/huacatay?variant=40098478522449&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2019-12-19&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj-iu7pTDhQMV0MzCBB1mJQ-HEAQYASABEgLDnfD_BwE

I am going to make it my mission to nail down the authentic version of this sauce this year. The jalapeño substitute is fine but the real deal is so much better. This chef used jarred Huacatay but he asked me to bring him the real stuff along with my fresh aji Amarillo which I’ve already started growing this week….stay tuned for updates but I’m gonna figure this out this year….going to Peru for two week over Christmas so I will get this “Peruvian crack” recipe nailed down this year

@remiive seen al pastor  pizza in San Diego it’s definitely a thing. Nice job!

I’ve been experimenting off and on with a “Peruvian spiced brisket” over the past four years or so and today I got a little closer to truly nailing the flavors I’m looking for

tasty bark!

@alimac23looks tasty!

@jonji have a feeling that could happen this summer. I started a new job and will be traveling to the Midwest more. I’m kind of targeting a business trip that coincides with the USA Copa America match in KC, but it’s Monday July 1st so will have to see

Oh my goodness, I knew I should not have looked at this awesome goodness before breakfast. What a grand dinner, Troble.    

@MacKenziethanksgiving dinner would be my “death row meal”. I love it more than any other plate. I forgot to do green beans this year but the turkey was the finest I’ve cooked in my life to date so that was nice. Wet brined for 24 hours in hot water, apple juice, kosher salt, garlic powder, black peppercorns, fresh cut lemon thyme from the garden, Montreal steak seasoning, fresh cut honeycrisp apple chunks and a pinch of brown sugar. Then rubbed with Irish butter, thyme, rosemary mix and place two slices of Irish butter under the skin on top of the breast meat 

smoked on the KK at 225 with apple wood for 5 hours until thighs were 165 and rested for 3 hours before carving. Absolutely tasty. My new bar for Thanksgiving turkeys 

Happy Thanksgiving!
