My Pork Corner

Why I want to be mentor in this category:
I really like to let people understand a recipe is just an outline, cooking is all about you!


What inspires me in this category:
Low and slow...BBQ takes patience


Experience:
I spent 30 years in kitchens accross the NW. I was an Executive chef for 10 years. I really like fire.


Biggest Lesson Learned:
Patience, gotta have it...the lack of it can ruin a great meal. It's not just high heat or no heat...use the whole dial!


Books, classes, teachers that have helped me:
Experience...I love to do it...messed it up, threw it away and started over...until I got it right.


Education, Awards, Pro Experience:
I was Chef at Arnies Northshore restaurant, I was Executive Chef of the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle, WA...one of the top ten steakhouses in the country

My Tips:

  • If you don't gill your Portabello mushromms before sauteing...they will turn your sauce black.
  • Wallnuts turn your sauce purple!
  • Refrigerate your onions before chopping and you will not cry!
  • Peel your garlic before refrigerating or the skins will absorb moisture and turn the cloves mushy.
