I had a great time cooking a Chef's Table dinner Friday evening and then Surf & Turf all day Saturday at the Culinary Center in Atlanta.
Friday night we started with a Bowmore and Laphroaig Scotch tasting. Then we made smoked yellow fin tuna dip, crab stuffed shrimp and grits w Banner butter, Grilled lobster tail with a lemon basil compound butter and grilled asparagus w whipped lemon aioli.
On Saturday we made smoked white fish (halibut) dip, cedar planked smoked salmon, grilled bbq oysters, tomahawk ribeyes and veal chops. Plus we had pig shots and jalapeno poppers for snacks.
Enjoy some photos.
PS - Come by my culinary tent and demo at Eggtoberfest!

How do you not get ash on the meat and what is the reasoning behind finishing them directly on the coals?Just bought an Egg? Here is what you get to look forward to now:
Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night. Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

Sounds like the adult version of this!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

When I teach steak, we often reverse sear, finishing at least 3 different ways so folks can taste the difference; cast iron (my favorite), grates or caveman (aka dirty). They all taste different. Different surfaces give you different levels of "crust" and different levels of maillard reaction. I like the maximum coverage of cast iron, but everyone in class including me can taste a difference in the steaks directly on the coals. You impart a good wood fired taste that way.
Alternatively you can cook the steaks entirely on the coals from the beginning for some serious flavor. See below for the "Dirty flank steak" with truffle ginger aioli served with a lime ginger chile vinaigrette salad I cooked in Sweden on a XXL a couple weeks back. AMAZING flavor!!
