I recently discovered it. Maybe 2 years ago? But it was completely accidental. I think I started a thread about it here. Regardless, I like what I like and couldn't care less about fads. But pho done right is fucking amazing IMO. Right near the top of my "comfort foods" list.

More of a stew than a soup, but this right here is pretty awesome

One note on that recipe. Takes waay longer than 15 mins to get the sweet potatoes tender. More like an hour.

Potato leek soup, with or without bacon, was a favourite as a child.
This and pea soup, again with or without porkifying.

Now I'm thinking about ham and bean soup. With cornbread of course.

Baked potato soup.
My basic recipe. Boil peeled potatoes until soft. Drain/add water to consistency. Then add butter or margarine, and some heavy whipping cream. Mash and mix.
Fry a few thin chopped potatoes for texture. Add cheese of choice and bacon bits.
Then top it with a bit of common sense to your baked potato liking. If you have leftover baked potatoes, instead of boiling potatoes, it's just as good, maybe better. I like to add broccoli and thin sliced roast beef.

It was a "fad" or "trendy" like fucking 4-5 years ago. WTF. Pho is a pretty amazing soup. You as a chef should respect that broth. It takes a really long time and tastes like it too. Have you actually ever made it?
And 4-5 years ago Sriracha was a "fad"
I use that shit like ketchup even though I don't even put ketchup on or in pretty much anything anymore.
I understand you are a chef by trade, but do you even like good food that's good? I mean, you actually recommended dumping a can of cream of mushroom soup over some beef in a crockpot on here. :lol:

I would, but then I have my uncle who can't digest butter, so he needs a plant based fat instead. The good news is that there are a lot of different types of margarine with different tastes. I don't mind some of them, and in a soup, the taste is undetectable.

So, a couple of things.
1. Pho was so popular around my town that it was a fad. I didnt say it wasnt good. I said it was a fad because of the popularity it got around New Orleans. It is starting to die down and become what it should be. A restaurant that is good when you want it.
2. Pho is not near that complicated. Its fresh ingredeinets and the broth is nothing. I make chicken. seafood and beef broth on the reg.
3. Sirachi was a fad and chilled out. I still make my fried chicked sandwish with sweet and sour chilei, bacon, swiss cheese and siranchi aioli.
4. You said you wanted crock pot recipes. I gave a delicious roast beef. I made it simple because thats what you asked.
5. I would never give a real great recipe on here. I have a talent. I will make my living with this talent. I also want to franchise one day. I would never reveal my best stuff on the web. Why? because ******* will use it. Al Copeland created Popeyes by stealing the old mans recipe that died.
6. Get over it! New Orleans is the best food in the country!

I've been to NO a few times, and the food is no better in NO than many other places. It's the same breed french pride that you get when you go to France or Montreal. Best wines I have ever had are from Australia and Italy. Most diverse food I have seen was when I went to Thailand, and best gumbo I have ever had was in Ohio, made by a German. It's cool that you have some local pride, which is perfectly healthy, but arrogance isn't as convincing of subjectivity as you might think.

I said this country and please dont make me quote famous chefs. I have traveled alot. New Orleans has been ranked number 2 behind San Fransico for food. Coming to NEw Orleans doesnt mean you have eaten New Orleans. Just saying man.

You can quote famous chefs if you want. Doesn't make the food any better, because that is how self-marketing works. Like saying, the best musicians come out of American Idol, because they are famous. And yes, I have eaten in New Orleans. Locals took me out on both trips to many different places(IIRC, voodoo bbq, dragos, kpaul as just a few), and apparently took me to the best places. I wasn't impressed. Good, but not good enough to make me miss eating there. I miss living in Hawaii because of the food, and I miss living in Milwaukee because of the creative sausages and burgers. I miss being in Nebraska because of the steaks, I miss going to Rhode Island for seafood, and I miss eating BBQ from North Carolina. But I really don't miss New Orleans food.

Voodoo is nothing. Thats a chain. KPaul is good. Dragos is good in mid city. Not the one in the Hilton. KPaul is rated high. There are at least 100 restaurants better then it. To each there own but I think Anthony Bourdain said it best.
"In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful. ... With the best restaurants in New York, you'll find something similar to it in Paris or Copenhagen or Chicago. But there is no place like New Orleans. So it's a must-see city because there's no explaining it, no describing it. You can't compare it to anything. So, far and away New Orleans."
— Anthony Bourdain, host of the CNN travel show Parts Unknown, when asked in a CNN interview to name the one U.S. city he thought people should experience for food.

Not to fight, but Bourdain's quote speaks of the ambiance per se instead of the food. In fact he starts off by saying better food might be had elsewhere and then addresses ambiance for the remaining quote.

Thanks for reminding me of the butcher shop down the street when I lived in Omaha. Didn't realize how good I had it.
