What, the shellfish?

Tu_triky wrote:HAHA..yeah that fish is filleted and put on a skewer then stuck in one of those holes to prop up the fish while it's being cooked by the radiant heat rising from the grill. Tasted pretty good :)

Hmm, just using the radiant heat?

I'd a thought it'd be tastier cooked over the flame. :)

The guy is such a "bridge and tunnel" guy. :hehe:

I think that is why he is always trying too hard to be cool.

From Wiki: Bourdain grew up in Leonia, New Jersey.

I was surprised at how ymmy the fish cooked over radiant heat was at the Orlando restaurant Todd English's Blue Zoo. :victory: Looked cool too while it was cooking.

There was another type of fish served at that meal called shishamo which actually threw on the grill. It was really tasty.

Haha...the "bread" looks pretty cardboard as well. :hehe:

I'd rather have this chorizo sandwich with field greens and olive oil on a ciabatta roll which I ate in London at the Borough Market last year. :woot:

Oh ok. I figure the noise in the picture due to dim lighting at such an elegant place. What kind of baste and did it taste good?

Moreover I was using a cellphone cam...I just don't have shutter speed and the settings available on a better camera, like an SLR or what not. :)

Truth be told I don't remember the flavor. [Read had lots of beers] I think it was shoyu perhaps because it tasted kind of like a yaki onigiri. Can't be sure tho'. :sweat: :)

The only gripe is that they skimp on the sauce. A man has gotta have his McRib smothered in sauce and more cowbell.

Haha...perhaps that gets lost in translation in Japan...or maybe they are just ketchi with the sauce.
