I like to test out new products. I’m in the restaurant industry. There’s very little difference between high-end consumer and low-end professional culinary products. And, quite frankly, you don’t have to ask me twice if I want a fancy schmancy new red Dutch oven (this […]
I turn absolutely anything and everything into burritos. It’s one of my favorite ways to utilize leftovers. It only takes a couple of minutes to toast a tortilla and toss whatever I have in the refrigerator into it. Today, I made a Venison Goulash Burrito […]
