Why be snobby about the way food is prepared?  What is the point? 

 

Try it sometime and if it doesn't produce the best flank steak you've ever had, just don't ever do it again and move on with your life.

 

I'm amazed how expensive Flank, tri tip, and skirt have gotten...

So last night I went to The Spence, which is a high end,  eclectic restaurant founded by chef Richard Blais (won Top Chef). The food was amazing, needless to say, we ordered 4 entrees and split it between 3 people. I asked them if they cook Sous Vide and they were like "of course, it's pretty much a staple of culinary these days".  So I guess it's not that bad or frowned upon in the culinary world.

Point to the spot on the doll where the sous vide cooker hurt you...

SHH!

Actually, my gf is a chef and uses sous vide at her restaurant. Though she did say she only does it when they're jammed and has to cook a lot of one dish for a large group.

That's why I like it. We have a smaller kitchen and it allows me to multi-task without ruining expensive steaks/fish. I like it for poaching a bunch of eggs if i'm serving Eggs Benedict. It's definitely a fad appliance, but it does have practical uses.

So what did you do for the 2-4 hours you were waiting on your food?
