Gastrologica Show

Here's a recap of the current Gastrologica: Plates of Fury and Days of Squandered Dignity.

Dan opens the show with a racist letter from a member who was shocked and dismayed that Mexican food was being served on Cinco de Mayo. The member thought the kitchen staff was cowtowing to the 'PC Crowd', instead of taking it for what it was: a Cinco de Mayo celebration in the City of Los Angeles. In one poorly worded effort, this guy would have transformed the place into the Kalabasas Kountry Klub. Tune in to hear the letter, and get our reaction.

The next segment was about the craft of plating, and using the plate as your canvas. We discuss proper plating techniques, the five elements of a plate, and how to arrange accordingly.

Since we were recording outside, the place sounded like a warzone with all the jets, helicopters and police whizzing by and loligagging overhead.
