2. How are you preparing the summer squash?

:shrug:

[SwampG8r]

4. straight saute

and chef likes em cooked til they are squishy
this is where we disagree i like my veg with a hint of rawness
just barely done a little crisp to the tooth

[Phentex]

8. That's how I like mine too...

with some bite.

Glad you're here! :hi:

10. just salt, pepper, olive oil?

really? My mechanic just gave us a beautiful yellow squash...maybe I will try it

[SwampG8r]

12. kosher salt and white pepper

90-10 blended oil


heres a trick from chef for flavorful saute with less cost
find an extra virgin olive oil you find very strong to the nose
and then cut it 9 parts good soybean,corn or peanut oil to 1 part stinky olive oil
you get the flavor without the cost

for our dressings and direct use we use evoo straight

7. Those scallops sound SO good.

Now I'm craving seafood and bemoaning how far we are from fresh source of it. :(

Welcome to C&B! It's a fun group. :hi:

9. welcome chef

How very interesting to hear your daily specials!

And how odd that your exec likes squishy squash! Do any customers ever complain about that? I would only think of squishy squash at a down home country cookin' kind of eatery. I like it both ways, but if it's squishy I like some cheese melted on it.

Are you doing any baking in your current job?

11. we are kind of pricey

and old school and our guests reflect that
they like a well done veg
less chewy
