Laces out or you'll slice the field goal.

If it helps, he's in the court system with his long time partner with Johnny Garlics, which have always been shitty restaurants. The only place he still has here and has a desire (so far) to be somewhat affiliated with is Tex Wasabi's, which also sucks. Full bar and trendy downtown location keep them busy on weekend nights with the drunk and drinking, but the food is low quality sushi with a decidingly untraditional twist, in a bad way.

 

There's 2 here within 20 miles.

He closed one in Sacramento last year I think.

Dunno how many there is total. He is a former customer of ours, and I see him regularly, came to a buddy's kids birthday party, etc.

 

I probably come off like a hater but you really gotta know the dude.

 

Mmmmmmkay.

Cod tacos were delicious. Hit the filets with salt and pepper and into a plate with flour. Put into hot oil, pan fry until done.

Julienned some green cabbage for nice raw crispness.

Chipotle sauce was winged, I do what tastes good. Probably ended up being 1/4-1/3 cup of mayonnaise, 2 whole chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, and a tablespoon or two of the sweet pickle relish.

No pics because dinner was interrupted several times by crying baby, but damn it was good, even after sitting on the table for 20 minutes before I got to eat.

Gotta try the sauce. Shrimp and/or fish tacos + this sauce = super fucking tasty.

 

Chicken enchiladas verdes, Mexican rice....

 

I wouldn't mind a recipe for some restaurant style Mexican/Spanish rice.

 

I can never replicate any rice I get from a taqueria.

Gotta admit DDD is my favorite show, only because I would love to open a place like most of the ones he visits. He's perfect for that show, but I've always thought that he would be an assclown to meet and hang with. Kinda like David Letterman... Great host, but keep him the fuck away from me.

 

My wife watches TMZ, and they have reported enough on him to support your hypothesis. He apparently is abusive to his stylist. I also concur that a road trip to visit some of these places would be awesome.

 

Burrell has a killer carbonara recipe...

Does your stovetop work? Could make cast iron cornbread.

 

Ah crap... If you did, it makes great corn bread.

 

Wait a minute... You don't own any cast iron? Wtf?

 

Never using cast iron while cooking is like never having the lights on during sex. Something like that
