The Razor’s Edge

A lot of things are getting worked out in the kitchen lately. Paul has been over for dinner a few times in the past few weeks so it’s no surprise that it’s been feeling like the creative epicenter of our home. I’ve been wanting to hang some of Paul’s work in our home for a while now, but I wanted something original… something that fit with the space. I looked to Scorcese for inspiration. There’s a lot of discussion about the best scene in Goodfellas. Billy Batts getting stomped. Spider losing a toe. Tommy getting made.

For me it’s all about the dinners in prison.

Paulie cooked me up something special (see above). He has a really good system. It will be hanging over my prep station soon.

For the record… some other great cinematic food moments:

1) Cooking with Clemenza

2) A Big Night for Timpano

3) Eat. Drink. Man. Woman. Knifework.

4) You Got Your Chocolate in my Quaglia.

5) and the first minute and twenty-five seconds of this.
