I Probably Shouldn't Have Criticized the Chef...

I’ve done it again.  I’ve gone and ran my mouth when I probably should’ve kept quiet.  I thought you’d like to hear about a phone conversation I just had with a local chef…

It all began because next week Rami Nagel is coming to our local chapter to talk about his book, Cure Tooth Decay.  (Live near West Michigan?  Learn more here.)  Before the meeting, some of us on the local WAPF chapter board are going to take he and his family out for dinner.  His only request was a place with “good oils”.  While we have some great restaurants here in Grand Rapids who source their produce, cheese, and meats from local farms that I love, and many also cook their stocks and other dishes from scratch, finding anyone who fries in a healthy cooking oil, like duck fat, lard, beef tallow, or even the refined (no-flavor) coconut oil, is proving to be nearly impossible.
