Potato, fennel, and leek soup with bacon & chives. Pro tip is cooking the bacon first and then sautéing the fennel, leeks & garlic in the bacon fat. Also used truffle salt to amp up the flavor.

Celebrated a terrific, most improbable KU road win in OT tonight with smoked Korean beef flanken ribs (galbi), ginger lime rice & radish kimchi. Marinated the ribs overnight, smoked low for roughly three hours and glazed ‘em w/ this solid Korean bbq sauce. #kubball #melvincounciljr #rectec 🇰🇷

This was my first al pastor rotisserie Sunday in a couple of years. One tip I’ve picked up is frying up the trimmings in a pan for a few minutes to add a lil’ texture and even cooking. Finished the tacos with onion, queso fresco, roasted pineapple salsa & cilantro. #kettle 🇲🇽🌮🐖
