As one who has sat on that milk crate as a dirty dish pig, I can only try to imagine what the chefs, the lifers, must think as they haul a three minute cigarette while the rancid smell of used oil and a raccoon infested garbage bin remind them of their choices in life. Some great recipes, I think the only German recipe I remember was Spinat, Kartofel und Eier (spinach potato and fried egg) simple, quick, and if you cook the spinach right it's not half bad. Cool idea for a post, your like Emril now.
BAM!
They say great art comes from a place of pain. I find most chefs are fueled by pure, indiscriminate hate.
