Just went to a pub in Dublin (The Shakespeare) that's been bought by Koreans and is attached to a Korean restaurant and serves Korean bar food. Honestly, the food wasn't good at all by the standards I'm used to. But the scene was amazing. Local Dublin folks (including a semi-coherent drunken old dude) who've somehow embraced this oddity.

That's the sort of thing that makes America great. Wait. Wut?

Freshly picked donut peaches from farmer stand. A little underripe. I forget if peaches are one of those fruits that don't really ripen unless on the plant. I remember reading something like that in foodguy's book

opposite. they'll do great. leave them at room temp for a day or two and they'll be perfect. DO NOT refrigerate until they're ripe.

Random bump - anyone going to watch the new Top Chef Masters season? Worth starting a new thread?

YOU WUD WATCH FUKKIN TOP CHEFF MASTERBATORS



I'll definitely be watching even though the last mini-season was godawful. We could probably just bump an old thread like this, though:

You'll probably need to volunteer to work in a restaurant for some practice to get the certified.

I'd love to return to Bras. Hawaii first (wife lived there for the first few years of her life and wants to go back).

The donut peaches and cavaillons are insanely tasty right now in the south of France. I just can't stop eating the stuff, knowing that I will soon be back in the land of bland fruit

The fruit is less bland on the UWS.
