And just like that, the @redboatfishsauce chef’s trip comes to an end.
14 days of marathon eating, drinking, exploring, and connecting with old Vietnam and new.
Grateful to the Red Boat phamily for bringing me along. Experiencing Vietnam through Red Boat and Vietnamese-American chefs was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Late-night nhậu over sea snails, grilled pig nipples, and the start of lifelong connections. What a trip!
The A&D PORK CHOP
@purecountyklingeman loin chop, brined with warm spices, grilled and lacquered with a sticky-sweet concoction of fermented aprium/pluot mostarda and @redboatfishsauce caramel.
Served with a smattering of garum brown butter for good measure. On the side: a bright, messy tumble of herbs and stone fruit, sharp with pickled shallot and lime.
One of our best, ever.
A mashup of two of my favorite things - @flannerybeef + shawarma and accoutrements. We heavily spice dry-aged ribeyes with traditional shawarma spices, grill them hot and fast over charcoal, and serve with herby yogurt, sumac onion & parsley salad, a healthy glug of local olive oil, and a quick za’tar yogurt flatbread.
No doubt one of my favorite menus of the year. Now serving at @ashesxdiamonds
Happy birthday @efreezie ! Having you in our lives makes Eli and I the luckiest pair. We couldn’t ask for a better mother, wife, travel partner, cat mom, and life partner. We love you ♥️

Loves hanging outside, snakeyfox, Down Bad by Taylor Swift, waking up many times at night, and sucking on his hands. Babies are wild. We got a good one @speizerchef ❤️
