Any of you fool around in the kitchen?
Let's see if this has legs.

I try some recipe's from Binging with Babish. He makes cuisine mentioned and used in movies and tv. I've done a few but this is my favorite so far, the sauce from the prison scene in Goodfellas

Damn, I'd never heard of that website but as soon as you mentioned Goodfellas I had to check that recipe out...that looks like a gold mine! Already marking which ones I want to try (Spaghetti Carbonara from Master of None, the Cubano). Hmm, I'll have to come up with some too.

Wrong category, but a few years ago I tried the Vesper martini made famous from Casino Royale. Acquired taste, but then again I'm not really much for martinis.

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

Funny you mention that norm (I know, funny how?) in his cocktail video he also tackles that martini.
Ive got that carbonara marked too, Im a little scared of it right now lol
The Cuban is money too.
Some of his recipe's have expensive ingredients like the sauce, which I think ran me about 35 bucks but it lasts For. Ev. Er!

I love the Rodney Dangerfield sandwich in Back to School but it just doesn't look like it would taste that great. Im trying to envision how I could dress up a little to my liking but that one's down the road.

Never heard of this Babish prick before, but as soon as I watched this episode it immediately became apparent to me that this guy watches You Suck At Cooking.  His jokes are just like YSAC's jokes, said offhand as if he didn't even make a joke in the middle of a sentence.  Anyway, I enjoy cooking a lot, but I don't really try to do famous recipes, I just cook stuff that I come up with myself or the old standards.

This is typically my go to for crockpot stuff, a buffalo chicken recipe. I've never tried it as a chicken patty, have always just shredded the chicken when required and then add the sauce mixture. Usually can have that saved for a few days.

Pro tip: Don't make the mistake I made the first time around; I bought the regular Frank's RedHot Sauce instead of the Buffalo Wings Sauce. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As much as I love spice, that was brutal.

I almost always use chicken thighs. Breasts always seem to dry out and are really bland, to me. I don't recall having tried buffalo chicken. I bet you could make that into an interesting dip.
Good crockpot recipes are appealing to me, especially throwing a pork shoulder in there, countless options to work with in that situation.
Franks got to ya? lol
Once I marinated chicken in Louisiana hot sauce before cooking, actually turned out ok.

This is my favorite thing to make in the slow cooker. Turns out super tender and flavorful, and is pretty easy to prep.

Crewe

I might try this, I like the Cuban flavor foods. You use flank steak?

thaima1shu

I usually use chuck roast and it has turned out great. I have not tried it with flank steak.

Crewe

I think flank would be tougher. Ill have to put this in my queue

My son brought his room mate home from school today. I made this for them. OMG this stuff is tasty
use a full stick of butter instead of a half.

he uses brown gravy instead of Au Jus, I always used Au Jus mix.
Optional:
Brown gravy mix if Au Jus not available.
Onion Mix instead of Au Jus.  I love Au Jus the best.
You can add a can of cream of mushroom in it for a thicker gravy.

I will try the buffalo chicken, I am crock pot cooker on game days. My son lives for football saturdays because i crockpot something and usually BBQ some ribs or a pork butt.

Oh yeah awesome thread.



Crewe

interesting spice blend there, I wouldn't have considered that combination.
Something else for my to do list. I usually go with a pork shoulder, wonder how this would compare?

Here's a simple stroganoff recipe I obtained from my mom.
