As always Rick it lookes great! What did you cook the loins to internal? I guess I'm out of the loop but are you cooking at Vinnys now or something?

Rick's Tropical Delight

i pulled the beef at around 125-130 and chef robert sliced and finished them inside as orders came in. wasn't really busy last night, but they'll turn what was left at lunch today.

i'm helping out down at vinny's when he needs me. the chef has some health issues and we weren't sure if he'd be there yesterday or not, so vinny set me up to egg the two meats. that was my second bistro night cooking on vinny's egg down at the restaurant. other than that, i'm the special event eggmon :woohoo:

we're looking to do some catering this year also

Way to go Rick! You came a long way since your first gig with the golf outing. Nice to see this take off for you.

In the oven?? The OVEN????

Come on man.....

Kidding of course. The chops look great. How did the kraut go with the stuffing?

Frank from Houma

Very Nice RTD - but nothing new. Great cooks & great pics. With that smile Vinny must have just had a sample.

Food looks great as usual Rick, the table is starting to look a bit shabby though

Big'un

Sure looks good! I'm not suprised though. How do think Vinny is going to take the news that you're moving to Georgia? :woohoo: As Usual, Great Job!!!

Boatman

Fine looking food, and a nice looking bar/restaurant. I'd hang there

Rick's Tropical Delight

that's a Red Wine Mushroom Demi-Glace that chef robert made and it was perfect

Rick's Tropical Delight

thanks, but that's a little scary that you remember the golf outing hahaa :P

Rick's Tropical Delight

can you believe that, the oven. :pinch:

the egg was hot from the tenderloin so we put them on 4 and five at a time so the bacon drippings wouldn't smoke so much since it was direct. just to crisp up the bacon some and give them a little lumpiness

i haven't tried the chops but i heard they were good. i had cabbage rolls tonight and i'm doing pizzas tomorrow down there.

Rick's Tropical Delight

the table was pretty much like that already since it came from craigslist, but i'll let vinny know you offered to refinish it! :woohoo:
