Photographing Bittersweet
On September 17, 2011
Is it me or does summer just seem to fly by? I always have more plans than time during the summer, some stuff I get to, some things get put off and some appear out of nowhere. Back in July, Olav Peterson, a friend and chef/owner of Bittersweet, Denver’s current best restaurant, asked me to [...]
Fried Chicken Thighs, Charred Corn-Red Onion Relish
On August 2, 2011
I survived, I figured I would and it was actually much easier than I thought. Save for the fact I work in a meat-centric restaurant, it really wasn’t that hard avoiding beef altogether. Pork was a little more difficult due my addiction to cured meats and bacon, but I found it surprising that chicken was [...]
Summer Spice, an Original Cocktail
On July 26, 2011
It took awhile for me to warm up to mixology, more specifically, the mixologist. It seemed like a glorified title for a bartender and I hate titles. That’s why when somebody asks me what I do, I reply that I cook professionally. I intentionally left my title off my kitchen whites. I feel titles are [...]
The Vegetarian Experiment
On July 20, 2011
It’s funny how the things we begin to accept as we get older are generally those same things we swore in our youth never to compromise on. For some it’s politics, for others it’s art, for me, it was my diet. I’ve been a carnivore since day one. I love meat, in all forms, shapes [...]
Almond Poundcake, Cherry-Goat Cheese Ice Cream, Cherry-Whiskey Sauce
On June 28, 2011
What is it that sets individuals apart from the masses, be it chef, writer, photographer or what have you? Is it their creativity? In part, yes. Is it their execution? Most definitely that is a large part of it. But there is a single factor that encompasses all these little attributions that make up what [...]
I’m living every dad’s dream right now, a little break from the family. The mrs. has left and taken both the girls with her to Europe for two months. For now, there is no more fighting for bathroom time, no snarky remarks about sports on TV, no crying, no spilled bowls of cereal, no arguments [...]
Seared Chinook Salmon, Lobster-Corn Chowder, Tarragon Oil
On May 18, 2011
I’ve always prided myself on the fact that I rarely cook with butter and/or cream. When I started in this business, it was cream sauce this, butter sauce that, and while there are a myriad of things that you can do with each in regards to making sauces, none were ever exciting to me. They [...]
Scallops with Cauliflower Puree
On October 7, 2010
Lately, I always feel guilty when someone asks me about my site. I’ve been unable to post recently due to a various set of circumstances and I feel if they get on the site, they’ll be staring at the same article for a month. But fear no more, I am here with a new [...]
Chunky Guacamole and Trying to Get Home
On July 13, 2010
Having been involved in food professionally for the last 25 years, it has always been an excuse to eat out as often as possible, to try new things in new places. But sometimes, and all of us feel this way, we want to go back to something familiar. Thus the massive resurgence of so-called ‘comfort’ [...]
Moving On and Heirloom Tomatoes
On June 9, 2010
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘one step up, two steps back’, but as simple as that statement is, it’s no truer than ‘one step back, two steps up’. I find myself thinking about the latter phrase in light of a new position I have taken at a restaurant outside of the corporate world. I’m leaving [...]
