PRESENTING: FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA: THE DINNER SERIES

NFL WEEK 8 : DUELING ROAST BEASTS

For the second week straight Ben's oven housed not one but two takes on the same beast or bird. Taka was challenged to to make a "roast beef" and the resulting 6 pound chuck roast and 5 pound top round, did not disappoint. Once the strings were off the the chuck, it's soft and fatty red center would've satisfied even a vegetarian... maybe? Speaking of vegetarians, the sides for the day:


1. The cutest little baby potatoes with Taka's take on beef gravy : you could've sculpte
d with this stuff and that's not a bad thing

2. Grilled asparagus with Ben's take on an overindulgent rosemary butter sauce: I wasn't using a heart-rate monitor, but I could feel mine slow down after 2 bites from a sauce-soaked slice of brioche


The Titans remained undefeated and the Lions winless...

Brown first...

& Braise later...


& you best watch out for that butter sauce, boy...
