Yes, We'll Be Recording
I know, I know. Lots of re-arrangement, lots of diversions. Dan is moving this week, so we'll carve out a time to record the latest Gastrologica. We'll be reviewing his sojurn to Hawaii and focus a bit on the upcoming fall season: Soups, gourds, squashes, those kind of things.
I know you're getting sick of hearing this, but Gastrologica is independent now, so you'll need to download us directly from iTunes. We also sport a nifty 'explicit' tag now, so you'll never hear another beep or overdub again. Have no fear, neither of us are into contrived controversy, so we're not going to purposefully hike up the vulgarity for vulgarity's sake. Maybe the first show, but it'll all settle down from there.
We're also looking at a couple of video projects, maybe some 'live' cooking segments for alla y'alls.
As for food talk here, Rohit and I made the mistake of eating BBQ at Malibu Inn, which should not have been a surprise, since they are better known for live music than food. World famous, yes, but not for their food, even though they claim their BBQ is known throughout the visible universe.
First gotcha is ordering pork, but getting beef. Second gotcha is them insisting it's pork. Come on. Pork shreds, beef gets cut into strips, and this was cut into strips. There was also no intrinsic flavor in the meat. It's like they boiled the meat and slathered on the BBQ sauce as an afterthought. In fact, that's exactly what they did.
Rohits chicken was tasteless in and of itself, but the BBQ sauce was definitely pronounced. And my beef tasted like chicken. Watery and flavorless, it had no taste of its own. What a shame, to have such a great location and let the food slide like that.
On the flip side, they do have hot waitresses and the pool is free during the day (Unless that was some overzealous biker who kicked out the plastic panel holding in the balls. Nevertheless, a good place to kick back and have a few beers. Just eat before going.
