Today is a simple food day. Why? Because I decided so.
New York Stake
Grilled baby bell pepper
Radish, cucumber, dill and sour cream salad
Hot ajvar
How good was it? It was so good that you would rip a turbo scroll out of a running car, like a beating heart and sacrifice it with a sledgehammer while praying for a piece....
I did the polenta the traditional way (no cheese), and went light on the liquid. Plated it ahead of time to allow it to cool and solidify into a cake. Went heavy on the creme fraiche and really thickened the hell out of the sauce. Will probably go with a bit more pepper next time (perhaps crushed red pepper) but all in all a delight. Good call on the fennel. This one's going into the recipe folder.
Since we were in Koreatown, decided to go for some Korean BBQ since it doesn't seem to exist in Indianapolis. Afterwards, instead of spending $70 to go up to the top of the Empire State building , we went to a rooftop bar nearby and spent $70 on drinks while looking at the Empire State building.
Today ended with finding one of chef Morimoto's restaurants, Momosan Ramen and Sake.

Looks delicious. Man, I miss NYC.
Tonight, I did a "kick-it-up-a-notch" of the cauliflower mornay which I posted about a year ago. Decided I was going to cook the roux until really brown, and then really expose every subsequent step to the fire of hell and deliciousness.
It was a complete and utter failure. No photos, just a reminder that we all **** up badly from time to time, and this is no reason to be discouraged. You chuck that failure in the trash, heat up a microwave meal, and say "GODS FRAKKING DAMMIT, I AM GOING TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME!"
Yup. I used to mess up on crepes all the time. It was so bad I swore I would never do them again. I stayed away for probably 2 years, then did them again and nailed the process.
For anyone visiting NYC or quite a few other major cities, I highly recommend the Citymapper app. Shows you exactly what subway to take and how to get around. Probably saved us a few hours and lots of headaches.
ive never had Korean bbq, my coworkers said we'd all go out for some soon. I live near at least 6-7 of them -- my town is overrun by Koreans (true story)
There's a decent Korean BBQ joint on Pendleton pike. It's not swanky, fancy, opulent, or any of those things. It's in a strip mall.
But it's pretty on point as far as $10-15 meals go.
Have seen that one when I looked but we have a hard time making it all the way over to the east side. I think another one opened down by you recently. Might have to wander down there and give it a shot some time.

I think my wife was telling me about that one. Holler if you want to check it out!

100% agree. Wife used to make exactly that, and it would make my day better
