R44 I haven't had Prime Rib in a restaurant in several years because that is just expensive. It is way cheaper but still expensive to just make it yourself. It is probably one of the easiest things ever to fix, it has such great flavor naturally that it really isn't necessary to do much except bake/roast it.
Only time it was't just perfect, when I made it myself, was when I followed the directions and inserted a meat thermometer and cooked to the correct internal temperature which resulted in it being over cooked and not pink in the center. It was still a great meal just not as good as normal.
by Anonymous | reply 51 | April 10, 2019 10:14 AM |
r51 That is exactly why I am afraid to cook my own. I love it really rare, but every recipe I have read, I can tell it would turn out overcooked, and that is an expensive mistake I can't afford. This is also why I never use meat thermometers.
Could you please give us your recipe/method?
by Anonymous | reply 52 | April 10, 2019 10:07 PM |
R52, I just follow whatever directions are on the label that comes with the roast which is just the number of hours to cook for however many pounds the roast is, I cook it for the recommended time but not the recommended internal temperature because that will not give you that pink tasteful center. I do nothing to the roast other than cooking, no seasonings at all, IMHO Prime Rib doesn't need any seasoning except a little salt at the table, last thing I want is to cover up the favor of the Prime Rib.
If you buy Prime Rib from a butcher that isn't pre-packaged you can look up recommended cook times on line I am sure. I do use one of those plastic cooking bags but I do that mainly to make clean up easy.
I normally buy a large roast, because Prime Rib leftovers can be frozen, thawed and reheated under a broiler and still taste just as good as fresh. I just recently finished my Prime Rib from Christmas. Mmmmm Good.

A big piece of Dutch chocolate cake and a cup of the richest, darkest, coffee you can imagine from a street vendor in Amsterdam. I hadn't eaten or slept in over 24 hours, and that cake and coffee hit me like a charge of electricity. I had to sit down for several minutes while my body came to terms with that jolt of chocolate, sugar and caffeine.
Best meal was at the old Berghoff Restaurant in Chicago years ago (not this new version, the old one). Roast duck with wild rice dressing and a wild berry sauce. creamed spinach on the side. I went back many times looking for that duck. The had it on the menu seasonally, but it was never as good as the first time.
Best dessert was a dish of sesame seed gelato from a little stand in Cologne, Germany. The flavor of the roasted sesame combined with the fresh gelato was beyond wonderful.

I bought a ham sandwich from a vending machine in the train station, and it was hands down the best sandwich I've ever had. It was just a simple baguette, sliced down the middle, smeared with butter with some very thin slices of ham. The quality of every ingredient was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Normally I would have thought butter on a ham sandwich would have been disgusting, but it wasn't. The bread was so fresh and flavorful, and the ham was exquisite. It's been over twenty years, and I still think about how good that ham sandwich was.

-All of the food in Quebec City was amazing. I specifically remember a crepe place with the richest chocolate sauce I ever tasted and a French restaurant with a perfectly cooked duck breast with some sort of port/cherry sauce that was unbelievable. -Pork Soup Dumplings (sometimes called Juicy Buns) at a now closed restaurant in midtown Manhattan called John’s Shanghai (not to be confused with Joe’s). I’ve had the same dish in several other restaurants and it is always delicious but never as flavorful. -Another closed restaurant, Le Palais in Atlantic City, had perhaps the best price-fixed meal I ever had- asparagus soup, chicken with a lemongrass/mango sauce, and cinnamon dumplings. -Believe it or not, the best steak I ever had was the Wagyu at a specialty steakhouse on a Carnival cruise ship. Better than the Palm, Peter Luger, Morton’s, etc. The rest of that meal was phenomenal as well, including an incredible tuna tartare and chocolate “globe” that turned into a soup when sauce was poured on it.

R113 isn’t it amazing when two wrongs make a right? I don’t care for sour cream and despise onions, but sour cream/onion dip is delicious!

ONE of the best things I've ever eaten is a Mrs. Fields Milk Chocolate Macadamia cookie at Bloomingdales ca. 1995.

Beef stroganoff prepared by my cousin's wife. Not a terribly classy dish on the face of it, but that woman could make a bowl of oatmeal taste like caviar. I have never seen a cook/baker like her. She even makes her own candy. Everything is exquisite and tasty.

Miss Lucy- In 1966 Beef Stroganoff WAS considered CLASSY.

Just-picked porcini mushrooms in Umbria, grilled with garlic butter. Insane.
The Crab Louis salad at Ferry Plaza Seafood, when it was open. Sublime.
Smoked sable from Russ & Daughters Appetizing. Sensual and primal.
Iranian beluga caviar. Once in a lifetime possibly. There's a reason people lose their minds over caviar.

A salad at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, CA. That was the first time I ate a salad with homemade salad dressing (oil & vinegar), tossed to coat all the leaves & items in the salad. I realized I could make salad dressings & do the same thing. I still make my own salad dressings. Very easy.
The rest of the meal, I have forgotten. Oh, yeah. I do remember dessert, which was bing cherries and some cookies.

A filet mignon at the Lobster Pot in Dublin, Ireland. Also gooey butter cak.

r99 OP, you were very lucky to enjoy your chocolate soufflé. Café Jacoulet was only open from 1984 to 1990.

The Incroyable at Aux Merveilleux de Fred in Brussels. This meringue, white chocolate and whipped cream dessert is hands down the most amazing thing I have ever eaten.

There used to be this restaurant here that had this side dish of whipped sweet potatoes with shiitake mushrooms mixed in. I know it sounds really simple, and I have no idea what else they put in it...but fuck, it was good! It wasn’t sweet at all. That restaurant has been gone for years, but I can still taste it. Before they closed, my partner ordered a whole pan of it for my birthday.
No, I’m not fat.

I don't think I could narrow it down to a single best thing, but there have been a few things so good that I would still be thinking about them days later:
Fried eggs, potatoes and garlic kalua pig hash at a breakfast place in Kapolei on Oahu
Tres leches cake at Casita Miramar in San Juan
Chocolate pie at Carshon's Deli in Fort Worth

I never cared about FLAN one way or the other but THE BEST Flan I ever had was at a restaurant in Manhattan called Brazil Brazil. The Flan there was EXCELLENT.

Lobster Eggs Benedict at the California Grill. One of those things where the joy of eating such a thing is almost too much.

Decades ago, when my sister and I were poor starving students, we went to the Getty Museum when visiting LA. A piece of cheesecake at a budget busting $5, but it tasted so amazing that we bought another.
I also remember a stunning chicken in pepper sauce in Paris. I commented, “This is the best chicken I’ve ever had!”
