Romantic Meal Lesson

rocknrolltrouble
The mismatched but perfect duo of Chef Brad Farmerie and wine steward Ruben Sanz Ramiro, offer up their advice on what to cook for a romantic meal, and what wine should be paired with it.

Brad is the executive chef of Public, consistently one of New York's most popular spots, and The Monday Room, the speak-easy-esque wine bar and restaurant tucked behind Public's hostess stand. The Monday Room looks like a robber baron's den / gentlemen's club and it purposely flies under the radar thanks to a lack of signage and intimate vibe.

Ruben is the young Spanish sommelier who looks like he comes straight out of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" video. He is especially passionate about unusual, elusive small production wines and up and coming regions. He is charismatic and smart, and just too charming to intimidate.

    • Woah, he totally just dropped those lobsters into boiling water! Isn't the humane thing to do warming them up slowly until they lose consciousness? I thought that was the way you were supposed to do it these days. These are living beings here! What a freakin nightmare - I'm never eating lobster again.

      If you warm them up slowly I don't think the texture and softness of the meat would come out right. Kinda like spaghetti noodles.

      Actually. I think it's painless that way as well. Boils them before the brain can catch up to the fact that the body is already dead.

    • love it... one of the best parts of a romantic meal is the conversation you have over it along with her laughs while she eats it... its kinda like pillow talk except over the table...

      ½ teaspoon salt
      ½ teaspoon sugar
      ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

      -combine all of the ingredients except olive oil in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine
      -drizzle the oil in a steady stream while whisking
      -pour over a delicious lobster salad and enjoy!

      -alternatively: place all of the ingredients in a screw top jar, screw on the lid, and shake with reckless abandon!
