a combination of getting the oil up to temp before you put them in and letting them cook long enough to develop a bit of crispiness. be careful though because you don't want the oil so hot that they burn.

it took me three or four tries before i really dialed it in.

sean brock i believe is interviewed but the book is much more than that

finally getting a Shake Shack close to the house..thats one thing i really miss about nyc

yes, they are

Speaking of Sean Brock, I was surprised to learn that he's a very recently recovering alcoholic. Read about it recently and came across http://www.chefswithissues.com in the process. Glad to hear more and more people are talking about how prevalent alcohol and substance abuse are in the industry.

what an interesting website..one of my best friends has 4 restaurants and is highly successful and also has a problem that needs to be dealt with

I saw a former co-worker hit absolute disappear-for-three-days rock bottom before being caught trying to break into the restaurant for booze while we were closing. One of the most talented guys I've ever met. Went into some serious rehab, started doing steak nights on a food truck across town to get back on his feet, built his name back up and has recently opened up a great restaurant in the northwest.

One story with a good ending. Hope your friend kicks ass for a long time, Doug.

he'll go weeks without drinking or drugs and then just go on that bender and do stupid shit..I hate to say it but I blame his girlfriend

Yeah, that's tough. Sorry to hear it.

Well, doesn't our president put it on his well done steak?
