Starry Kitchen
HERE IT IS: Chinese/Korean Kalbi Chim!  HOORAY.  What is that exactly you might ask?  It’s basically braised Korean short-ribs with a little Chinese PIZZAZZ, and it’s so juicy, moist and flavorful that we know you guys are going to be floored when you try this.  Join the “FLAVOR-LUTION!!!” (that sounds better than it looks written out, I think I might just stick with “flavor enlightenment” until then ^_^).  As one person we sneak peaked this for mentioned, “the flavor is sophisticated,” but shoot… I just think it’s F’ING GOOD which is all that matters!

And I know I already posted this pic before, but I thought it might be helpful to TELL you what it is and then for you to see it!  And to also get your mouthwatering to make the decision easy on whether or not to show up.  That decision SHOULD be, and I’d like to pull a quote from…ummm, myself of course:

“…run, don’t walk and forget about the well-being of others when trying to get there! You’ll thank me later! (unless you do something horrible which I can’t take responsibility for… I mean, GROW UP MAN!)”

Coincidentally, we also just served this very same dish at a party tonight, and while I thought some of the “uninitiated” might have been too scared to eat it (I mean tasty braised beef ribs could be considered PRETTY SCARY looking)… when we got back, it was ALL GONE!  SHIIIIIT!  I guess “they” (i.e. the guests… not like aliens or Care Bears) thought it was good too.

Actually, we just gained some new fans tonight (at least that’s what they told me when they were sober) so a shout out goes to Dave, Mike, Yahra, Kristi and “BOO!”  That last one actually isn’t a joke, her real name is Barbara, but her friend Kristi calls her “Boo.”  I thought it might be like that Usher and Alicia Keyes song “My Boo.”  What, you’ve never heard this song before.  SHOOT!  Well, here you go (with lyrics too so you can sing LOUD and sing it PROUD!):



So service is still 12p - 3p.  If you need info, click HERE for the flyer.  This one is AGAIN in limited quantity so we suggest you show up early or look like a SUCKA (and I AM talking about you CHUCK NORRIS! mwahahahahaha)

On a final note, Facebook JUST opened up the ability to have a vanity URL or username for your Facebook pages.  If you have Facebook and haven’t done so, go do it because it’s fun.  I got one for my personal one already and it’s http://facebook.com/ntran1.  Put it in and BAM, there I am.  We can’t get one for Starry Kitchen yet until we get over 1000 fans, but you can click the Facebook Fan Page link in the right column become a fan if you aren’t already.  

But don’t fight over it like these stupid suckas below.  Click the pic if you want more info from Digg.  It’s pretty HILARIOUS!  Now all they need are some STARRY KITCHEN branded taco, burrito or sandwich goodness to cure what ails them.  And in this case, blatantly stealing their friend’s opportunity for a personal username in Facebook IS what ails them.  FYI-Facebook does not allow changes and you’re stuck with that username FOREVER.  For some, I’m sure that’s “almost” as bad as Cancer, HIV or the Bubonic Plague… but NOOOOOT quite (but still… classically HILARIOUS).

Enjoy and we’ll see you tomorrow… or NOT if you’re a FLAKE and you don’t like good food!  Because there is, “No food for flakes!” (I’m going to get a bumper sticker that says that one day and take a picture of it with a headshot of our biggest flake… tee hee hee)

Dish du Jour: Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken

From Blog Pics

Awwwwwww J’YEAH! It’s on like donkey kong ya’ll. For those of us that are night owls, early birds (i.e. waking up before 12noon on a Sunday) or complete insomniacs… you now know what it is that we’re serving. Good on you!

We tried almost 10 different chicken dishes this week (read a previous post about CHICKEN EXPLORATION WEEK), and it held it’s own and we’ve found some future chicken dishes in the process!

Lemongrass, as an ingredient, is one that’s very popular and has a special almost marriage-like relationship with Vietnamese food. I KNOW because my mom SMS texted me confirming I’m Vietnamese! That’s how cool my mom is: SMS texts, IM chats AND she knows all the lyrics to R. Kelly’s “rap opera” Magnum Opus, TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET (I DARE you to click the link for maximum hilarity). Oh yeah, she MIGHT have told me Snake Eyes from G.I.Joe is a real person and COULD be my father… REALLY! (well, at least some of this stuff about my Mom is real ^_^)

Back to the main topic: LEMONGRASS. Well, this grass don’t taste like crap combined with lemon either. Once you taste this “grass” sent from the gods themselves in our chicken recipe… if you’re an Irish Catholic from Boston (or Ireland) you’re going to say to yourself “Jesus, Mother, Mary and Joseph”, because it’s THAT over. Flavor enlightenment my friends. FLAVOR ENLIGHTENMENT

From Blog Pics

Alright, alright. You might be saying to yourself, “Team Starry Kitchen, are you smoking crack,” and I would reply, “Naw, but lemon grass is kinda like that once you have it. Hell, everything Starry Kitchen serves has addictive flavor properties that church goers, talent agents, pharmacists and drug lords (one in the same if you ask me LOL) alike can put aside their differences (and uzis) aside to share the common bond of… you guessed it, flavor enlightenment.” ^^

Seriously though (only serious paragraph of this post), it’s good stuff. We definitely don’t want to blow it out of proportion, but it is quite tasty and we invite you and your friends to come and at least try a sample.

We’re going to have at LEAST two different sauces we’ll be serving too. First is the mango+avocado salsa, and secondly there’s what I like to call the GS3 (Ginger Sesame Sake Sauce). We had the same sauces when we had our version of the kalbi tacos two weeks ago, and that was…B-O-M-B (that’s vernacular for “Cool” Mom)!

Before I forget, here are a couple of quick pics from Pure Luck, and one of my old favorites - Scoops (I was there for the first/last kimchi flavored ice cream… I would concur with that choice not to revisit that idea ^_^). Since it’s getting late, quick summary: food is good and these jack fruit meat substitutions are very good in texture and flavor. Who would have thunk it?!?!

Jack Fruit “Carnitas” taco, “Carnitas” burrito & Tom BBQ Pork Sandwich (made up of jack fruit of course):

Scoops ice cream: eating the staple brown bread and banana thai iced tea:

So come one, come all and please spread the love, word and support us as we continue out into the new frontier of Asian Mexi-Mix adventures.

Btw, you can come along for the ride on Wednesday nights too. We’re going to be doing our first service this Wed, June 10th. Time TBD, but most likely 6p to like 8p/9p

Much love to you all,

Team Starry Kitchen

ATTENTION all Starry Kitchen shoppers… we are going radio silent on flyers and going covert BLACK OPS!  I repeat, radio silent on… ummm… flyers?!?!  (and how does one going covert black ops when I’m posting on a publicly accessible blog anyway?!?!)

Alright, alright.  You’re probably still confused because I haven’t mentioned anything coherent since the beginning of this post (but isn’t that WHY you read this!!!).  Plus it’s my… I mean OUR blog darn it. If we want to be completely nonsensical and randomly refer to stuff that no one gets while debating the mating habits of goats (I actually even found a link for this one HERE), Salman Rushdie and why Padma Lakshmi (she’s so HOT & gotta love that TOP CHEF) is better off without him and she should marry Ned Flanders instead cause he’s the best-EST!

From Blog Pics…

I think I’ve lost everyone but Erik Tolo (thanks for the add Erik ^^).  While it could have been: Chuck Norris and his evil team of Solo Flex (sorry, no link this time, read the previous post suckas!) salesmen are on the loose, and we gotta lay low or else I might be coerced into trading all this Asian Mexi-mix goodness for a good for nuthin’ Solo Flex machine… I’m sorry to say it’s not.  We’ve been picked up on the radar by some suspectin’ individuals that have yet to experience the FLAVOR ENLIGHTENMENT that is Starry Kitchen.  SOOO, it’s time to go GGRS (Guerilla Grass Roots Style) and continue pushing this mutha sucka out there!  No more flyers, all FB updates, Twitter and emails.  And of course we’re talking about catering events now so that helps too. :p

Oh yeah, we have a picture of food above too!  haha  Sorry, when I eat Starry Kitchen food I reach Nirvana (the state of mind, not the rock band dummies!) and… well, you get it.  I just can’t be held responsible.  TODAY’S CULPRIT: thit kho tacos!  That is exactly what is pictured above.  The piece de resistance are the hard boiled eggs that are also cooked into the stew which gives them that rich and tasty brown color all us Vietnamese kids have grown to love.  And we sold out, and that’s the story I’m stickin’ to!

Check out our Facebook fan page (link in the right column foo’s) for more pics too!  For our first weekend night, it was pretty good.  Another shout out to Anderson Le for inviting some people out too!

OMG, this post still isn’t over yet?  Well, I still have another food pic to tantalize you with AND another hint… so like Freddie Mercury sings in one of my favorite Queen songs (oh come ON, do I NEED to give you a link for Freddie Mercury and/or Queen… you can type THAT into google yourself bozos! LOL) “the show must go OOOOOOoooN”

First, an artifact from last week’s CHICKEN EXPLORATION WEEK: Vietnamese Lime Chicken (…so DAMN GOOD!)

From Blog PicsNext stop on the blog posting train, the HINT OF THE DAY.  I wish I had an elaborate set of characters like in Pee Wee’s Playhouse to help me introduce this… don’t you?  if ANYONE is keeping up with the hints, I’d like to think I’ve kept up the difficulty a little bit.  Well, I just had an epiphany on how to keep it up.  Your ONLY hint today is related to film that I worked on called OWL AND THE SPARROW (keep on the look out, it’s good).  One part of the name lies on the home page HERE.  Enjoy!

Lastly, since we’re on a roll and I’m now the only one reading it to increase my stats on Google Analytics (it’s free and I can’t help being an blogging narcissist!), here are some pics of families stopping by to consume the Starry Kitchen goodness.  Check it out!

“Hey mommy, why are you posing with my tacos???”

Our friends with Child #1 and Child #2…pssst, the baby is Child #2!
From Blog PicsWe call him WEBSTER!!! And I know, HE’s not a SINGULAR family, and he wasn’t there but ain’t this a cute pic!



Alright, that’s it.  It was a good night.  See ya on Sunday, and we’ll keep posting more info until then.  Don’t forget that we’re prepping for catering too (we just catered today in fact for 20 people which was SCHWEET!), so if you have an event that you’re trying to impress people with… we’re the peeps to knock the socks (and maybe pants- wink wink) off that special someone.

Okay, gotta go relax now… and NO, that doesn’t involve cooking.  Here I am at my most relaxed:

So come one, come all and please spread the love, word and support us as we continue out into the new frontier of Asian Mexi-Mix adventures.

Btw, you can come along for the ride on Wednesday nights too. We’re going to be doing our first service this Wed, June 10th. Time TBD, but most likely 6p to like 8p/9p

Much love to you all,

Team Starry Kitchen
