* Overcooked doesn’t mean it’s actually overcooked in terms of temperature. It’s overcooked in the concept. Like things Dwight Howard wears with epaulettes and zippers all over the place. That’s overcooked.

† R.I.P. Bill. His manager, Bill, was a great guy who really helped my dad in the early years. Pops paid the down payment on his house and Bill was doing great, but he had a nasty coke habit. He would come work for us three years clean, go off the rails, then come back two years later, etc. My dad always welcomed him back, but it ended badly when Bill OD’d. These are the things you see growing up in a restaurant.

‡ When people from Asia or the Caribbean cook, there is usually a “cooking of the first.” Jamaicans, when making oxtail, will soak them in a solution of water and vinegar to let the blood out, then also flash-boil them to “cook off the first.” At our home, we’d flash-boil everything before braising or stewing because it was bad form if the meat had a “stink.” Andy Ricker tells me that in Thailand they won’t even eat lamb because of the smell.
