Q: What are the three rules of grilling?

1. Allow the meat to come to room temperature before grilling. Throwing an ice cold piece of meat on the grill is never a good idea.
2. Don't poke or cut it while you're cooking it. That releases the juices that give the meat all its flavor.

3. Most importantly: Don't burn it.

Q: What are three common grilling mistakes?

B: I think the answers to the previous question speak to the most common mistakes, but there are still more. First; don't over-season the meat.  A good cut has plenty of flavor on its own. A little salt and pepper is all you need. Also, always allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the grill. That allows the juices to get flowing through it again. Juices=flavor.

The scholarship is dedicated to the memory of my Father who was a talented Chef and Hospitality Manager. Dad died tragically at the age of 26 as the result of a car accident. In it's second year, the John S Davies Scholarship Endowment will directly benefit students of the University of Denver's HRTM School. In 2007, Cristina N.Mariani-May, family prop...

Turtle Soup…The Almost Forgotten Delicacy!

Image
--> The Food And Wine Chain Turtle Soup…The Almost Forgotten Delicacy! By Christopher J. Davies Over a century ago, Turtle Soup was earmarked in many a home cook’s favorite cookbook. It is said this was U.S. President Howard Taft’s favorite food. So seriously did he take this dish that he even selected a special chef for the White House who was a master at cooking a good Turtle Soup. Today a small group of restaurants across the country have Turtle Soup on their regular menus. The largest concentration of restaurants with Turtle Soup on their menus is found in America’s foodiest city, New Orleans! Of the dozen or so restaurants in NOLA making Turtle Soup, Commander’s Place is ground zero for this delicacy. Their creole version is thick and stew-like. It is usually topped off at your table with a drop of sherry. No, it does not taste like chicken, but more like a veal stew. At the helm of Commander’s Palace is Executive Chef Tory McPhail, a young and...

Just Opened! Overlook Bar & Grill, Estes Park, Colorado

Image
--> A new restaurant opening in Estes Park is a rare and welcome occasion. Up until now Foodies had slim pick ins. Since this casual vacation town lies in the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park. A large percentage of diners are looking to treat themselves to a night of dousing their campfires and enjoying BBQ, Pizza or Rocky Mountain Oysters. Most of the local joints in town are seasonal restaurants that have not been decorated or renovated since the 1970’s. While knotty pine paneling was once popular, I prefer light earth tones to dark and dingy. The Overlook Bar & Grill has all of the right ingredients. Friendly staff, clean & modern décor, creative bistro-esque cuisine from an award winning, master chef, combined with a breathtaking mountain view. The bar offers a massive selection of craft beers, creative cocktails and hip domestic and international wines. To be fair, I keep a practice of not reviewing recently opened re...
