Ep220 – Garlicky, sweet, sticky, bite-sized spareribs are the perfect thing for your next New Year’s Eve get together. You can just throw everything in the oven while you reminisce with your friends about 2012. Rest assured though, when those ribs come out, people will forget about 2012 and start talking about your ribs.

Egg Drop Soup

Ep219 – Our version of the classic Chinese Egg Drop soup is something that you can literally “drop” in front of your guests in 10 minutes. It all comes together in a fantastical swirl of chicken, soy, and sesame oil. Don’t take our word for it though, it’s so easy to make you might as well try it yourself… now.

Ep217 – Tonight we talk with the guys at MIHO Gastrotruck, a super popular and successful food truck here in San Diego. They got a great holiday product to show and they are talking about the food truck industry as well as what their future plans are. Of course, there’s still cooking tonight and Sam makes an incredible pepperoni pasta from the stuff in the fridge. The lesson here is that you’ve always got a great meal waiting for you if you get a little creative and put in some thought to it!

Ep216 – What happens when you combine excellent ingredients excellently? Magic. Insert our version of the classic bacon, lettuce, tomato salad. We use juicy, ripe heirlooms and a hearty artisan bread and add blue cheese. When you’re using such few ingredients, every bit of quality and thought counts! So enjoy a BC(blue cheese)BLT and make sure you use the good stuff.
