Weird wings!

if you are looking for odd, i would do a frenched chicken wing, which is just a clean bone from the wing to the breast side, and all the meat is pushed down not just cut off. then prepare it in an unusual method of a slow oil pouch, duck fat is best here but a nice clean oil will do just as well, and then really any kind of sauce that you find wierd i think would suit this fine.

I have a mozzarella baby

aside from obvious, and the uber-varietal unendings, of caprese, fresh water mozz is a great this straight, but try different marinades from a red or white wine vin, to pesto to a herb oil. i personally love cold smoking it. but that is an experienced hand.and even better way is just tryin various applications, hot cold, and room temp and seeing which one you like the most. think of even a wine and cheese party.

Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?

and for those who say Alton Brown is not a chef. he may not be technically a chef cause he has no restaurant, BUT he has helped redo and open enough to know the difference between possible and not possible.

Best TV Chef? Worst TV Chef?

Worst: 75% of those on food network. Paula, Rachel, Sandra, all the ones like these SUCK

decent ones, worth a name mention, Emeril(only cause he has amazing training and people skills), Tyler Florence, and a few others.

Best Chef gets split: Mario Batali, Alton Brown, Anthony Bourdain, Morimoto, and even Flay, if you read his bio, your opinion on him may change. all the others i could go on for hours about, but it boils down to knowledge of there field and how easily application comes with it.

My most seldom used spice or herb is _____

I will finish this one now. You get a choice of 2, and it is mainly cause of the way the question is posed. Both make the list because of expense and availability of usage. Most people are not used to being able to sub out the real thing or just dont know how.

1)Vanilla Bean

2) Saffron

Now before you retort, think long and hard. Most, especially the unexperienced in a kitchen do not know that you can make a grilled lobster with vanilla pasta dish and have it go over like the ball dropping on new years. and most also cannot get past Paella or yellow rice with saffron, with no idea to the sauces you apply saffron even in baked goods or various terrines in garde manger.

Go on, give it a shot.

In the future will everyone be a vegetarian?

There is no way this will happen.

1) As a Chef i know of too many people who love the meats.

2) This is where everyone gets confused too. We say meats and we automatically think BEEF, but meat means PROTEIN, that is fish and all seafoods, chicken, weal, lamb, goat, multiple forms of wild game.

3) If this were to ever happen we would see it coming a lot more advanced because of certain vitamins and enzymes we can only get from meats, red meat in particular, and though there are some supplements out there to help there is nothing that is a full complex yet.

So if this were to happen, it would not be widespread vegetarianism, it would become what a lot of other countries already are, and that is you eat what is near you. Me being in Florida gets a lot of beef and seafoods. I think that means i would have it made.
