Regional Cuisines of the Americas - The South

Fried chicken, grits, collard greens, black eyed peas are just a few of the south's favorite dishes. Dennis, my faithful and hardworking partner since baking and pastry was on stage this morning. He's a bit shy so we were all looking forward to hearing him talk. It has to be quiet and you have to be paying attention!

He's known in the kitchen as Dirty D. His chef's coat tells all. If there are dishes in the sink or work to be done, Dennis is all over it. Go say hi to him at Whole Foods in Cupertino in the bakery section. He'll hook you up with a sweet treat and you can see his sweet smile in person!

Dennis made crab cakes that were delicious!!
Laurie and I stayed after class yesterday and meticulously picked out the crab for him. (Your welcome Dennis.)




He also made some cornbread - skillet style and fried chicken. All the while exuding that Southern hospitality.
Great job partner.
Our day ccontinued with Fried Green tomatoes, Hush Puppies and BBQ Ribs slathered in a lip smacking, finger licking Bourbon Barbecue Sauce.

Y'all come back now!
Goodnight.
