What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?

Elijah

21 pounds of pork. The time line is difficult. Graduation is at 830 and I'm hoping for lunch

@Elijah Nice, lucky graduates. Timeline is challenging indeed but I'm sure you'll somewhat manage. Great idea to protect the edges with foil.

Loaded potatoes. Potatoes on the pellet popper, chicken breasts & sirloin on the small egg.

That looks awesome! 

Details on the gravy?  Anything with gravy should really be a standalone post.

Thanks @dbCooper but not gravy. That’s Alabama white sauce.

@shtgunal3 I would eat that with a spoon, good grief that looks so good!!!😋

Little bit of pizza pie action. Ken Forkish recipe. Still need to work on our game.

@GrateEggspectations Pies look mighty fine, you've mastered the Geek Chef pizza oven, curious about the finger pointing in the last pic? The pie in the bottom right of the same pic reminds me of our potato pizza with homemade pesto sauce.

Thanks. The Forkish recipe was great. Finger was just someone helping the children make their selection. We never make potato pizza at home, but certainly enjoyed a lot in Italy. May have to try that at home.

In FL (Anna Maria Island) for a few days.  Tonight was paella on a 22" pan (never have wrestled with one that sized before).  Pan a bit more diameter than the gasser and the gasser was weak at best.  Got it close enough.  All thought it was great.  No real socarrat  as this cook was a good 70 minutes over predicted time.
Pro -tip do not go with 8-10 count shrimp.  Too large given the rest of the seafood.  
But all was quite tasty.

And the no real soccarat $$ shot:

Thanks for lookin'.

One of Caps guests caught an action pic of him observing a couple mid-cook challenges…

I'd definitely hit that paella.  And @Buckwoody Egger, if you're stuck eating hot dogs, that seems to be the right view for cooking and eating.  Where are you?

I believe that is one of the classic Michael Jordan pics of yesteryear.

Haven't tried paella after couple of miserable attempts years ago. How about a tutorial cap? 
And speaking of dunk, how about this live dunk, not staged with zero defense,https://youtu.be/2ZPImNJ-sDs?feature=shared

First attempt at Seafood Paella. Tasted very good but many lessons learned. My attempt at artistic veggie placement went out the window when I burned myself on the handle. Winter time cook next go round.

Foghorn

That's looks like a great first attempt.  Well executed @BigreenGreg.

Way to jump in and nail your first shot out of the gate.  All paellas are great, some greater than others!
Drop this cook into the rotation.  Year-round enjoyment.  
Took me a while to finally figure out-paella is like pizza-get the rice right (like the dough) and then have at it.  @Foghorn and company cranked out a Texas style one a few weeks ago, linked here.FWIW-

Hey we are in cedar key fl @foghorn and yes the chili dogs were just a blip on the food radar for the week

Foghorn

@Buckwoody Egger that's a nice area.  Went there a few times in my youth with my parents and with my travel baseball team during the summers.  Biggest mosquitos I've ever seen.  But some good seafood.  Enjoy.

Thanks Fog. I highly recommend it with an asterisk — basically a little info about what it is and what it thankfully (to me) isn’t.

Found the end of a tenderloin in the freezer. Put a little coffee rub and a little smoke on it, air fried potatoes, some freezer peas and a nice blue cheese sauce and call it dinner.

Everything I’ve done lately has been highly pedestrian.    Guess I’m in a rut.   

Tonight’s pedestrian meal… 🤦‍♂️
