Guest Interview

Market Report ()

Josian Citrin of Melisse and Lemon Moon is buying a whole lamb from Jimenez Farms.  A recipe for lamb is here.

Jim Russell brings in fresh, raw Macadamia nuts from Fallbrook. These nuts are hard to crack but when you do they are sweet and crispy and not at all like the greasy, canned nuts you find in stores.

Chicken Dakgalbi ()

Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Weekly.  This week he reviews Choonchun Dakgalbi in Koreatown.  The restaurant serves really only one dish: chicken dakgalbi, served tableside.  Included in the panchan, or accompaniments is blood sausage, which Jonathan says is excellent.
