Give us some reads shpanko

Ace King is a good hand

.

True that, i mean if the guy has Q9 shpanko has him.

Poker's an easy game really

you guys don't understand. BTN knew it, so shpanko really cheated the system. BTN should have won

Villain is an aggro fish who loves to bet? Also pairs are hard to make...and I turned a pair!!!

Xpost from the Cooking a Good Steak Thread - but since I know some of my favorite posters and food fans reside here, I thought I'd share my latest sous vide dish.

Are you like opening a restaurant or something? what's with all the food posts?

He's clearly passionate about food. I enjoy them. Keep em coming Griff!

Great pictures too man.

Yeah I like the posts too (should've made that clear my bad). I was just curious if there was something bigger underlying his food posts that just being a gourmet in his free time

Haha, thanks guys!

As far as 'something bigger', I've realized that I'm someone who really likes to dream a bit via creative outlet. At this point, I'm just trying to drive readership to my blog and learn a bit about food. If that turns into something, that'd be very cool (writing / cooking / photography / consulting, etc.), but I don't really have designs on anything at the moment.

It's also a really great hobby as my gf lives with me, and it's something we enjoy doing together, that builds usable skills, that everyone can relate to, that saves money, and we can share. I guess 'saves money' is relative as I spend a good amount on my camera and various kitchen items that are complete overkill).

Where're you buying your meat? I've been doing the online butcher thing - I suspect it works better in a smaller country like the UK - but am interested in doing it properly. I had hanger steak the other day and am now a bit more interested in cooking it myself.

Also I'm worried about leaving Kil out, so pics of GF?

I get my meat at various stores around SF. My go to for quality stuff at a reasonable price is an italian butcher shop near me called Guerra's. It's a little more expensive than your local supermarket, but maybe a little cheaper than whole foods, and has better product.

For things like chicken feet, pork neck bones, and other parts that I use for stock, I tend to go the the asian market. This is partially because other places don't carry chicken feet and pork neck bones, but also because it's much cheaper. If it's going to be a primary focus of the dish though, I go to a specialty butcher shop as asian market meat can get a bit dodgy.

sounds like just an excuse to see some Asians to me

"Does that seem like something I'd do?"

dope head tilt

im going to have to remember to try that one next time

Thanks! I try.

Fwiw - this was us doing 'our gangster faces'.

We're not very gangster. :/

Which rating system are you using?

im assuming best/2nd best/3rd best/4th best....

in which case, 2, 1, 3, 4 IMO

If you can find an asian supermarket that only has a mildy terrible fish smell its a keeper.
