The Kitchen Challenge

[Insidious Von]

Miserable Prick takes the steak challenge along with three celebrity cooks.

This is the time of the year when I enjoy steak the most. With so little sunlight, I can't afford to stay in bed all day with SAD. Steak delivers that extra special brand of umami that no other protein has. As for cooking method, I've drastically reduced the amount of butter in my cooking. As for seasoning:thyme, yes - rosemary, hell no...this is steak not lamb. I prefer flank steak, it's versatile and has loads of natural flavour.

Figures Rocco would know how to cook. To quote Ronnie Mund, he makes us regula fuckin dudes seem irrelevant.

For me it has to be a quality cut- a nice ribeye, aged and medium rare with just a bit of salt and pepper. A double Scotch right before and a rich red to wash it down. The grilled asparagus as the only side.

That's a great recipe Juan, I like the idea of using beef lard most of all.

The Parkdale Monster has his recipe.

I would eat Rhianna's pasta and her ass. Figures, sissy vampire make sissy pasta.

Anyone find the massive Porterhouse Steak Fiorentina in Toronto - I haven't.

The best way to cook a steak at home is the Reverse-Sear method. Nothing comes even close.

This is almost exactly how I cook my steak.

However, I use rosemary instead of thyme. When the juices of the steak fuse with the butter garlic, and rosemary....mmmmm.

Cooking with a cast iron skillet provides for pretty even heat distribution as well.

Is there a steakholder website?

Agreed! I like rosemary with pork tenderloin but with steak, thyme is the way to go. In a cast-iron pan.

Terry likes frappuccino.

Kate Ovens has a killer body with an ass that rivals the great Lindsey Vonn...I admit I popped a boner watching this.

The Pilsen Disaster.

If Kate had asked me I would have told her not to take on Steel Rod Radim on his home turf: The Pilsen Beer Festival. Radim Dvoracek is Europe's version of Joey Chestnut...and he nearly lost this challenge.

If there is a Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest next summer, Joey Chestnut will face his toughest challenge from Hamilton's Joel Hansen. The guy does an impressive Dizzy Gillespie imitation.

Inspired by David Chang, I decided to make my own Ramen Alfredo as my New Year's Eve meal. It was delicious.

Hopefully Dolce Lucano has guanciale available so that I can make Ramen Carbonara.

 

[MissCroft]

^^ I might try it only because I have a ton of those damn ramen noodles right now, lol.

But for Carbonara, I prefer a nice broad noodle like a Tagliatelle. With a side of your rapini.

...I'll try for a less bitter mouth feel.

Rigatoni is my go to pasta for Carbonara or bugatini, but you have the right idea. It should be a broad pasta.

In Italy it's considered a remedy for the common cold.

I have a bad bite so my favourite beef is tenderloin steak rare or prime rib roast. Unfortunately the cost is now close to $40. lb. Same as the cost of scotch. My favourite single malt is Dalwhinnie, $100. Oh yeah, got to have sauteed mushrooms in a red wine sauce.

 

[Insidious Von]

I don't usually make rib roast at home, that's what I'll order if I'm at a steakhouse. Dalwhinnie at $100 is not bad, 16 year old Lagavulin now runs for $144. A Laphroaig at $79 is a good compromise.

You got good taste in food...I'm still thinking the half-chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet is pretty good.

 

[Insidious Von]

I usually get a Swiss Chalet half chicken dinner when I don't feel like cooking. Good value for the money.

If my gym wasn't shut down, I'd probably eat a whole one.

Another favourite of mine is Glenmorangie Highland single malt cheaper than Dawlwhinnie.
