DCS Lab: Schnitzel Take 2

Dave wasn't thrilled with the results of his last take on schnitzel with a salsa-seca crust, so it's time to revise. This time, Dave takes schnitzel inspired by a Los Angeles restaurant and makes it even more Los Angeles-inspired by making it gluten-free.He also makes a delicious lemon puree as a pairing, as well as crispy cabbage, as one might see with a tonkatsu. Dave makes a bulldog sauce as well. Let's see if this version is up to Dave's standards and is ready to be served to our upcoming guest, Mina Kimes.Watch Dave's first attempt at salsa-seca schnitzel: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ciFvplWyPnEtb7ucguQaZ?si=Pt3j-InoTtyhe7E6i_jCdQWatch our cabbage-and-more-filled mandu guk with Eric Nam ep: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fk34wjSON8AF3N2STwKa4?si=b3bade9577d344d9Watch our lemony episode with Marc Johnson: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1e8dKopMUm4EXSrQErwcII?si=Fl5wwWJkSuib2R0JlbTl_gLearn more about Highly Likely: https://www.itshighlylikely.com/Learn more about Cafe Boulud: https://cafeboulud.com/nyc/With Vrbo, what you book is what you get.Visit us in stores and online https://Warbyparker.com/CHANG Learn more about your ad choices.

Braised Tofu, A5 Wagyu Steak, Aging, and Laughter with Joel McHale

Dave cooks a protein-focused dish for a "master of meat": actor, comedian, & host Joel McHale...but Dave doesn't cook red meat like Joel may be used to. After having some of Dave's delicious Wu's Garden-inspired braised tofu, Joel hops (literally) into the kitchen to make a gorgeous Miyazaki A5 wagyu steak. Amongst the cooking, Dave and Joel debate how often you should eat meat, talk about getting older and their health, and reveal why some people call Joel's home "Crazy House" (Hint: Joel likes knives. A lot.).
