Chuck's Day Off


Chuck Hughes has quickly become one of my favorite chefs. He's a funny guy that cooks sort of Canadian comfort food: dishes like lobster poutine and braised short ribs. My kind of food! 
He has a restaurant in Old Montreal called Garde Manger that is apparently incredible. 

He's also on Food Network and The Cooking Channel: Best Thing I Ever Ate, Eat the Street, Chuck's Day Off, and Iron Chef America. A highlight in his television career was when he beat Iron Chef Bobby Flay in battle lobster in 2010. This guy can cook!

Today's Craving: BBQ

It doesn't happen terribly often, but today I am definitely craving BBQ. A co-working and I spent about 30 minutes this morning talking about smoked meats (he is thinking about purchasing a smoker soon) and it has made me want some ribs, brisket, or burnt ends!

Sadly, we don't have many great BBQ choices in Utah.
