I'm a huge fan of#schnitzel, and @bronwynrestaurant in #UnionSquare (Sommerville, MA) is my local go-to place for beers and #German cuisine. Also be sure to try their homemade #spaetzle! Great stuff and can't wait to go back for more.

This is what 55 ears of shucked corn looks like. I figure it would take up a lot more space, that but wasn't the case.

Glad I laid up 55 ears of #sweetcorn late last summer. That's 14 quarts of corn that's ready in moments on a weeknight (3 ears of corn per bag). Just shuck, remove the kernels, and freeze. No need to blanch or any of that old-school stuff. Keep it simple. It was such a success that I'm likely going to do 110 ears next summer.

A huge thanks to friends of mine who got me this wonderful #sousvide for a milestone birthday. What a generous gift (thanks again!), and simply amazing for specific culinary tasks. Knocked out some buttery #wildsalmon in about 45 minutes in two different styles. From an eco standpoint, just generally try and reuse (and definitely recycle!) those plastic zip top bags. No other special equipment (sealers, bags, etc.) is really required to sous vide.

BTW - Since I tested these back at America's Test Kitchen as an intern many years ago, sous vide has really come a long way from original models and is definitely something you can now consider adding to your culinary arsenal. Again, just remember that SV isn't for every task, but truly shines in some specific cases.

Glad I stashed away these #ciderdonuts in the freezer in the fall. People think they're really just an autumn thing, but I'll enjoy these with a cup of coffee year-round.

If this sort of thing ever shows up, seriously -- don't panic. Just look into it. Sometimes your car will throw weird codes for reasons that may be as simple as replacing your car battery. If you see a message in red instead of yellow, don't panic but DO pull over ASAP. Yes, you can damage your car if you keep on driving. Either way, don't ignore car codes. Your car is trying to tell you something! Listen to your car, take good care of it, and you should enjoy years of driving fun for years to come.

Seriously - it was laughably easy to knock out a perfect BBQ #chicken in just three hours, complete with a mahogany skin. Save some for tacos. You'll thank me later.

Happy New Year, everyone. More about BBQ here. Just remember pulled pork makes for great hangover food. Just sayin'. This is a 9.5 pounder that took about 15 hours if I remember correctly. And I didn't have to do much except to occasionally keep an eye on the remote thermometer via my iPhone. (And yes, electric smokers work in the cold.)

Here's a good example of what Lil'Smokey was able to crank out: some amazing pulled pork. The fact that it's a meat-n-two brings it on home with #collardgreens and #macncheese.

Meet "Lil'Smokey." Yes, you too can get professional BBQ results at home without breaking the bank or tending your smoker for hours. This might seem like heresy, but the reality is that an electric #smoker will get you most of the way there, with just a minimum of fuss or effort. This is the style we used to use back at Le Cordon Bleu Boston, and also many restaurant kitchens use (but won't fess up to). For me, these days I'd rather effortlessly cook up a ton of #BBQ (and freeze it for quick weeknight dinners in zip-top bags) than making a big production about of it -- and plan rides to my favorite BBQ joints for "the real thing" because that's what they specialize in.

So many people love to bake around the holidays, which is great this time of year as your oven will also heat up your house (top tip - just leave it open a crack when you're done baking). However, if you're not really into some of the traditional Christmas seasonings (peppermint, gingerbread, etc.) or fare, don't fret! Give yourself a break and bake whatever the heck you want, if at all.

Open-face #peachcake makes me think of my grandmother, who used to bake these. Meanwhile, I also remember that my grandfather would often get in trouble for picking the fruit off the top. Create your own holiday traditions, and share a slice with those you care about.

When it comes to #coffee and #espresso, I think you all know that I like to go "king size." The 5# size is so big, it doesn't even fit in the frame here. @barrington_roasters in Lee, MA is totally the way to fly. Give them a try. (No, they don't pay me to say this stuff. It's just the truth; they've got their coffee knocked.)

Now to me, THIS is the real #beachpizza. @santarpiospizza from #eastboston, down at the beach this fall. Grab some cash, grab a pie, and take a quick ride or scoot down to Deer Island and enjoy it while it's still hot. Heck, you could go for a walk afterwards.

You all know that I'm all about discovering hyper-local #pizza. Well, I discovered a type this fall called #beachpizza -- which is #northshore around Salisbury, MA. Apparently, this is something that some beach-goers grew up with in that area -- as only a few places serve it. It is definitely an acquired taste, as the tomato sauce is more like a white sugar sauce. I hate wasting food, but this was one of those rare occasions where the slices quickly went into the compost bin - despite several bites and attempts to wrap my head around the concept. (Glad that some of you really like this style, though!)

Following up on "flatland" week from a little while back, you can totally do the schnitzel thing. Pork or veal works a treat. Running it through "Chuck" the meat tenderizer may be a bit overkill for #schnitzel, but it's fun to use something that has 1/2 #horsepower in the kitchen.

I want you to meet (or meat) "Chuck." Chuck is a #Hobart 403, aka a professional meat #tenderizer that I inexpensively refurbished this past summer. You'll see in upcoming episodes why this thing is an absolute marvel for prepping chicken fried steak, cube steaks, and other tasty meat-based treats. With meat prices soaring, an investment in some sort of meat tenderizer isn't a half-crazy idea.

Again, earliest sunsets this week make me think about foods from just ten weeks ago. A ripe #heirloomtomato may difficult to still find, but you'll thank me if you find any decent one and enjoy it now instead of in late February. Again, go with a solid EVOO and not 0W-40! 😉

Just because #basil season may have ended here in the northeast two months ago and our earliest sunsets of the year are this week, it doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy homemade #pesto. Just be sure to use some good EVOO and not 0W-40. (That's the other part of the show.)

As I've been a total #BMW #E30 fan with my own 325iC convertible "Simply Red," it was especially exciting to see @rhody_e30 take 3rd place in the 30 under 30 category at last month's @audrainconcours #concoursdelegance. Nice work, my man. Seriously - it's really as good as it looks -- a super really clean car and clearly it's a whole lotta love right there.

Met Bradley Price of @autodromo last month at the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week down in Newport, RI. Bradley makes amazing custom watches and driving gear the automotive scene. Not only is Bradley a great guy who lives near where I grew up, but he's really talented as all hell. I'll have to start saving up for the watch in the second photo -- as again -- I'm all about the #foodbiker color scheme! #acmw2021

Had a blast last month at the @audrainconcours #concoursdelegance, run by the @audrainautomuseum down in Newport, RI! Check out this amazing #Panterra owned by Carlos Melo. Just beautiful, and obviously I'm very partial to the #foodbiker color scheme. #acmw2021
