Sauces are AMAZING. And they’re simply mayonnaises with mixing. Yellow: with mustard. Red: garlic, paprika, chili powder. DANK

French onion soup — key is caramelized onion. Bread is soaked and with the cheese. Deviled eggs with simple mayonnaise. Just okay. Pork chops — have an acidity — I think like an apple cider vinegar. Phenomenal Potatoes — really straightforward with green onion and parsley. I think it’s the same Mayo butter thing that the eggs had. Okay, nothing fancy but I don’t think it’s meant to be.

Super salty with the fish eggs. Miso sauce is AMAZING

9/10 TRUFFLES — so good man. That with a beschamel and cheese sauce. So fkn good

Amazing fatty flavor. BOTH Chicken and fat. I think wrapping it in the leaf is critical. Baked bao has honey glaze on top. Filling good balance of sweet with the naturally fatty pork. Verry light fluffy dough.

AMAZING butter roll for the baked. Sweet pork filling Steamed bbq pork buns are some of my favorite all time foods

It was really good, but I think the vanilla protein powder kind of overpowered everything. Also. That small bit of peanut butter was over HALF the calories? That’s crazy to me. Very filling though, even just the 3 pancakes I had I couldn’t finish. That’s the thing. Certain meals are high calorie, but it’s about how those calories make you feel that counts. I know the protein and the fiber of the oats is going to keep me full for hours. Overall I’m finding that keeping track of the calories, but instead keep a mindset of “no food is bad” has been fantastic. I just need to budget it into my overall calorie goal. I was a bit hesitant to add the maple syrup at first because I always have the mind “extra sugar bad.” But from a satisfaction side, I think the maple syrup is critical. And if you think about it from a long term diet perspective, you’re just going to end up with cravings if you restrict certain foods. 60 calories to make this meal INTENSELY satisfying is 100% worth it.

Put chicken on high heat pan that was let warm up until smoking (carbon steel). Kept it on high throughout the cooking process. The chat I got on it was just phenomenal. Made a homemade bbq sauce using homemade ketchup, thickened on the stove. I probably could have let it thicken up more but the taste was impeccable with the char on the chicken. I can’t believe how few calories 0% fat yogurt has, and is a fantastic pairing to the potato, which I covered in olive oil and baked for ~45 mins in the oven with salt and pepper in aluminum foil. Really good. Total calories: 750

Very good, with the cheese Incredibly filling — feeling full throughout the day Garlic added after the eggs went in was actually really good. I guess a bit raw is good Paprika on the potatoes My body kind of wanted more fate, but the cheese was a perfect bite of fat. Could instead add some more oil and replace the cheese with it

Al pastor so good. Guac Cheese

Too much soy sauce (salt) Could use a sweet element Chicken cooked well since it’s a braise. Chicken actually really good. A bit burnt in one side though Green onions good in it Garlic should be in smaller pieces and toasted more For broccolini, I should have cooked until golden brown on one side THEN added the garlic. Adding garlic too soon meant I needed to pull it off the heat before it could crisp up. If necessary, can also add water until cooked. Still hungry for a carb. Really should be over some good rice

Bao Sandwich. Just okay Best parts were the kidney beans and green peas. Slight sweetness Not enough protein, so wasn’t very filling. Just wanted more Didn’t really like the spiciness of it

Peanuts so good Well balanced Lots of protein

Fries with peanut sauce and white onion — pretty darned good, but honestly was carried by the peanuts sauce onion combo. — Mayo was bland Stroopwaffle — speckaloos — best one. Was like holidays in Germany in a bite. Learn more about it. Nutmeg? Cinnamon? — hazelnut — original — waffle cone with caramel in middle Clearly unhealthy lmao

Peanut saucy taste on the steak — amazing Chicken kebab stick with same sauce. — fried onion Crispy rice like that place in San Francisco — sooo good — slightly spicy Very good mixed meat meatball. Only 1 though.. — could use more, and could use some Maillard reaction 😁

Zoete — good artichoke/spinach and cheese combo — very hearty combination of veggies to make the base and then lightly fried to make the cake — maybe pumpkin? Sandwich - parham (essentially prosciutto) - arugula with the saltiness almost reminds me of American dream — also has some tomato and mushroom paste sauce - the vinaigrette really adds some nice zing and tangyness — I actually think it’s just a balsamic vinegar — very thick.

Ribs were fall off the bone tender — made with Asian things like green onion and sesame seeds Burrata salad was great. Unique pairing — cherry tomato with basil sauce. French fries mayonnaise could have used some vinegar and maybe some garlicyness

Deconstructed gyro Highlights: Mayo had some mustard for some zing Uncooked white onion was really good with the chicken

Arugula is critical Chives add a good layer Walnuts are great in it and give a good crunch Very acidic but also kind of sweet vinaigrette - lemony Whole block of grilled feta adds a great feeling of substance - feta could be more crisp Really enjoy the sweetness of these semi-dried grapes Not sure what the yellow stuff is but I think it’s banana pepper? Just a HINT of spice gives great depth of flavor Lentils at the bottom are hearty, have soaked up a lot of sweetness probably from being cooked with the grapes or something The sweetness of the lentils is honestly critical to give yourself a break from the acidity of the vinaigrette Lentils add a good bit of heartiness, I just wish they weren’t all at the bottom like a second meal

Greek lasagna Beschemel dauce Potatoes in the bottom Some eggplant Soft, almost brûlée top (but not crunchy) Overall felt unbalanced. Too much fat, not enough variety of texture. Could use less lasagna and the byte of some crisp veggies or a salad with nuts. Somehow work some acidity in there too with a salad

Savory Toasted a bit — hints of roasted marshmallow Layers of cheese Spinach mix

Chicken Sislik Pita Arugula and almost cream cheesy dressing No it’s a mayonaise I think with garlic. Sooo good Mixed with the chicken juices Green onion Charred chicken is critical — no sauce on it Super tangy Pickle for acidity Pita sprinkled with paprika. From another restaurant I’m thinking also sumac and cumin

Suggestion taken from Salt, acid, fat, heat Amazingly delicious boiled meat. Homemade bread both sides dipped in the sauce Two sauces A very slightly chunky green sauce with a bit of tang A red sauce with a slight bit of heat
