What's on Eli's Mind
Heading into summer the weather is unpredictable to say the least. One thing I know for sure is that as it gets warmer and warmer we will be living outdoors more and more. The grill is summer ready and I’m starting to think about I’ll be cooking in the weeks ahead. Some protein on the grill is the easy part. Then, what I want more and more of is less cooking, more raw foods—salads and slaws, crudo drizzled with my favorite olive oils and a squirt of something acid, lots of guacamole and salsa with or without margaritas. If this all sounds ridiculously virtuous and healthy, don’t forget I’ve installed soft serve machines in some of the stores—this requires A LOT of tasting. Currently working on my café affrogato espresso over vanilla soft serve. How bad could it be?
