Hard to tell without tasting, but based on the texture I'd guess it's finely shredded filo dough. We used to do a fried shrimp sushi roll at one place I worked, and the final step was rolling it in tempura, then in filo and into the fryer, and the texture was very similar looking. And it was fucking delicious too.

I'll be damned. I didn't know you could shred fillo like that, but looking at pictures on the web I'm pretty sure you're correct.

Yeah, a good sharp knife, and don't let it fully defrost, and it shreds nicely. I think you can buy it shredded too, not totally sure though, I only used the technique at that one place.

Tried cooking scallops for the first time today (also my first time ever having scallops)

First thought: Wow they are very tasty

2nd thought, do these look fully cooked? The idea of just the top and bottom looking cooked was a little strange to wrap my head around. I did medium-high heat. 2mins on each side.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #809 on:** May 11, 2022, 12:12:56 PM »

I'm an amateur cook at best so don't take my word for it but those look cooked to me. Typically when I make scallops I'll do med-high heat for a few minutes on each side, taking them off just as the center stops being opaque.

Stadler · « **Reply #810 on:** May 11, 2022, 01:04:07 PM »

I'd let an expert weigh in, but IMO worst thing you can do is overcook a scallop.

Chino · « **Reply #811 on:** May 11, 2022, 01:07:52 PM »

I've never eaten a scallop, but I have to cook them all the time. When I was first taught way back when, I was instructed to remove these things because they are apparently tough to chew.

lonestar · « **Reply #812 on:** May 11, 2022, 01:55:52 PM »

Chino's right, remove the foot before cooking.

And yes, a proper scallop should be mid rare, a good sear on both sides and pull from the heat. Some tips... Pat them dry really well before cooking, the lack of moisture will help the sear.. Also a pat of butter right before searing will really kick up the flavor and help get that perfect golden brown crust sear that makes them so fucking sexy.

I fucking love scallops.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #813 on:** May 11, 2022, 08:24:19 PM »

Yeah, next time around I am taking those off first. You can absolutely taste them and just throws things off a little.

TAC · « **Reply #817 on:** August 07, 2022, 06:22:25 PM »

I mean, it looks good, but my pizza consists of dough, sauce, and cheese. Mozzarella. No fancy blends.

I like steak fries, but I couldn't tell you the last time I had a chicken nugget. Decades.

Your loss. Never hurts to explore.

Looks good, real nice color on the crust, bet it has that awesome crunch to it.

Until recently, I didn't know to brush oil on the crust.

Local Thai restaurant was selling home grown chili peppers, so I made some Pad Ka-Prao. Topped it with a fried egg, cilantro, green onions, and some chilis marinated in fish sauce.

So, I didn't get to eat as much variety in Chicago as I liked to, since the food itself was so filling that it's hard for me to get something else, which meant no Italian Beef or Polish Sausage hot dog for me. I did have a deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's and while it was good, there was so much cheese on it and the crust was really really crisp.

The main highlight of the trip was eating a Puerto Rican restaurant. I read that Chicago has a sandwich called the Jibarito where they replace the bread with a smashed fried plantains. I found a place that had it with lechon as the meat and that was an easy convincing. The issue was that I came a bit too early, since all they had at the time was breakfast items so I got this. Churros French toast and a skillet Jibarito style (they basically added plantains as a topping on the skillet). Good stuff.

What's that on them there fries? Obviously there's bacon, but I don't see cheese.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #831 on:** August 18, 2022, 03:11:58 PM »

It's bacon, cheese and herbed aioli.

Does anyone here follow chefreactions on TikTok?

I don't know much about the guy other than he is a chef but basically what he does is comment on various cooking TikTok videos - both the good and the very bad. I seriously laugh my ass off. I know he has gotten banned for a few days here or there because he doesn't pull any punches and says what he really thinks. LoL

There of course are some amazing TikTok food videos but damn there are a lot of scary ones out there too.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #833 on:** August 19, 2022, 03:34:55 PM »

No Tik Tok for this guy.

Went to a restaurant in the woods. You have to drive down a dirt road. It's in a house made in the 1700's. 5 course meal. No over eating. Perfectly balanced.

TAC · « **Reply #834 on:** August 19, 2022, 07:42:12 PM »

The pork looks good except for that branch of broccoli.

Where did you actually go and eat after you left that place?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #835 on:** August 19, 2022, 07:46:31 PM »

No. That meal was amazing. BTW, that's broccolini. It's delicious.

Oh shit! Why didn't you say so in the first place.

I'm afraid to ask how much it was, and No, you don't have to tell me.

I admire people that can eat whatever is put in front of them. I wasn't born with that gene.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #837 on:** August 19, 2022, 07:54:17 PM »

Most vegetables I like. There are a few I don't.
