Zero professional steakhouses use grills.
This is totally true and not ass talk at all.

Which of the many chain locations of Houston's are you referring to? Would you also throw in Outback and Applebee's?

Maybe TGI Friday's would rank up there for you.

I just said that no steakhouses use grills. This is the assertion and it is totally correct.

I believe the statement was "no professional steakhouses use grills", of which you posted a picture of a chain restaurant. You're welcome to your opinion (though it's wrong). Or was the picture of a new "Hillstone" so the chain can avoid having to post calorie counts?

So any steakhouse that uses a grill isn't a "professional" steakhouse. They are like amateurs or something. Gotcha. Anywhere else you would like to move the goalposts?

Stop shitting the thread up with this debate please. Cook your steak however the fuck you want, but let's not hate on people in the "Cooking Thread" for discussing methods of cooking things.

So wait, you list a (smaller) Argentinian "steakhouse" as a professional steakhouse, and a (small) hotel-restaurant-chain out of Aruba?

Just throw in Fogo de Ch?o as the finest "all you can eat" establishment you've ever been to, and a quick stop at the local HoJo for the bestAmerican hotel-restaurantconcept and you've proved your complete supremacy of high-end steakhouses!

Bah fine.




Anyone have a decent recipe for Cannolis, or even filling recipe that isn't mostly ricotta? I tried the other day (after not being able to find forms/tubes) with a rieseling instead of the traditional marsala, and it was a shitshow beyond the lack of forms.

Obviously not professional because only mexicans cook at professional steakhouses

What's wrong with ricotta filled cannoli? Clearly superior to pastry cream. That stuff belongs in eclairs and boston creme pie.

I don't know, the recipe I used called for drained ricotta that was then squeeze and patted dry, then mixed with mascarpone. They came across gritty. Cheesey-grits-only-it's-all-cheese-gritty. The filling didn't seem sweet enough either. I wouldn't use regular pastry cream, but would probably end up sweetening mascarpone and whipping that.


Also forms are necessary, and wooden dowels don't cut it no matter what yahoo answers tells you.

How do you mix it? If wanted something smooth that had ricotta cheese(and wasn't going to be baked), I would put that in my Kitchen Aid for a bit.

But 'gritty' sounds odd, like there was something old or wrong with that ricotta.

Edit: Maybe it was the sugar? Try confectioners sugar instead of granulated?

Yeah, it was in the kitchen aid.

I used confectioners/powdered sugar.


This was actually the "ad-hoc" recipe I followed:Homemade Cannoli Recipe with Mascarpone Cream | Vintage Mixer

The only modifications were in the shells: I used a 'dry' Riesling rather than a sweet Marsala, skipped the chocolate, tripled the cocoa powder, and didn't bother dusting (because it was being served ad-hoc to my friends). The shells weren't even the issue.

Just got back from Jake's. I'd been there years ago and forgotten how good that place is. I've got food triplets growing in my manwomb.

It also reminded me that I need to make french onion soup again. Because fuuuuuuuuuuuck that's good stuff.

Bros, someone hit me with a recipe. Need an idea for dinner tonight and my regular recipe sites are leaving me uninspired.

Friends don't let friends eat/cook Rachel Ray.

I don't have a recipe for you, you're better off starving than eating that. Tonight's the night when you look at the fridge and put something together yourself. Take your cooking to the next level.
