I have a local Chinese chef that makes great Italian food (in an Italian restaurant of course)

Have you found any oddball combinations

If you read Antony Bourdain’s book, Kitchen Confidential, most of the cooks in New York City are from places like Mexico, Portugal or South America. Yes, even the fine French restaurants use a mixture of English, Spanish and Portuguese in the back.

Most restaurants have cooks that don’t "match" the cuisine. Even the famous chefs nowadays don’t "match" all the time. I mean, Antony was born and raised in New Jersey, but is trained in French cuisine. With international travel so easy nowadays I don’t really think it’s going to be that common to find a cooking staff that matches the cuisine they cook.

I think it’s more interesting to see what odd combinations of cuisine you can find nowadays.

French-Vietnamese may sound odd, until you remember that Vietnam was a French colony for awhile. The impact on the cuisine is the Vietnamese Sandwich, which uses freshly baked French baguettes, and Vietnamese style meats and other local ingredients like lemon grass.

There’s a Persian-Italian place near my house that’s quite good. Turns out the owner is Persian, but his kids – born here in the US – don’t really like the traditional food. So he put some Italian dishes on the menu for them. As a result the menu has chicken with couscous right next to chicken florentine.

Indonesian food seems to be becoming popular as I’m seeing more places open up offering that, or offering a combination of Chinese-Indoneisan or even Indian-Indonesian. Chinese-Indian fusion places are popping up as well.

Back in school, one of the owners of a popular deli sandwich shop vacationed in Korea, met someone and married her. She came back to the US with him, and started cooking homestyle Korean dishes, along side his regular offerings. The sandwich shop quickly became known as one of the best Korean restaurants in the area and was the only place you could get half a sandwich and a tofu pot for lunch.

FOOD WARNING BACTERIA
Bacteria may be present on products when you purchase them. Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs are not sterile. Neither is fresh produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, and melons.

Foods, including safely cooked, ready-to-eat foods, can become cross contaminated with bacteria transferred from raw products, meat juices or other contaminated products, or from food handlers with poor personal hygiene.

Botulism, a life-threatening illness caused by the bacteria Clostridium outline, were reported in the United States. Frozen, fully cooked products were suspected of causing these illnesses. The Food Safety and Inspection Service advises all consumers to handle frozen, fully-cooked products in accordance with these food safety recommendations.

Before buying frozen, fully cooked products carefully inspect the container or package. If the package is punctured, torn, partially opened, or damaged in any other way that might expose the contents to the outside environment, do NOT purchase the product.

 
Do not purchase frozen products that appear to have thawed and refrozen. Reject all swollen or gassy containers or spoiled foods.

Buy food from reputable dealers, with a known record of safe handling. Buy frozen products only if they are frozen solid and only if stored in the freezer case. Observe any use-by or sell-by dates on the package.

When you open the container, inspect the product. Do not use products that are discoloured, mouldy, or have an off odour. Do not use products that spurt liquid or foam when the container is opened. Do not taste the product to determine if it is safe.
Follow the preparation instructions on the product label.
Handling Possibly Contaminated Products Report any suspect commercial food products to your local health department.

If a suspect food is opened in your kitchen, thoroughly scrub the can opener or other utensils, containers, counters, etc., that might have contacted the food or its container. Discard any sponges or cloths used in the cleanup. Wash your hands thoroughly. Promptly launder any clothing that might have been splattered upon.

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin. Symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. The illness can cause paralysis, respiratory failure and death. Symptoms usually occur from 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.

Many frozen chicken products, such as chicken Kiev and chicken cordon bleu, may appear to be precooked, but are actually only prebreaded or prebrowned.

Use a meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.  . This means really cooking the chicken, in a regular oven or microwave, not merely thawing it.

Salmonella Typhimurium Outbreak

Clearly, what began as an investigation of bulk peanut butter shipped to nursing homes and institutional cafeterias is now much broader.

It includes not just peanut butter, but baked goods and other products containing peanuts that are sold directly to consumers. Health officials say as many as one-third of those who got sick did not recall eating peanut butter.

“The focus is on peanut butter and a wide array of products that might have peanut butter in them,” said Dr. Robert Tauxe, director of the foodborne illness division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Federal health authorities told consumers on Saturday to avoid eating products that contain peanut butter until they can determine the scope of an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning that may have contributed to six deaths.

“We urge consumers to postpone eating any products that may contain peanut butter until additional information becomes available,” Dr. Stephen Sundlof of the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety said in a teleconference with reporters.

Officials said they are focusing on peanut paste, as well as peanut butter, produced at a Blakely, Ga., facility owned by Peanut Corp. of America.  Peanut paste is significant because it can be used in dozens of products, from baked goods to cooking sauces.

Law Firm Information

Fred Pritzker is founder and president of Pritzker Law, a firm with involvement in practically every major food poisoning outbreak including the Peter Pan peanut butter Salmonella outbreak and the Taste of Chicago Salmonella outbreak in 2007, among many others. The firm has collected millions of dollars on behalf of victims of food poisoning. For more information, visit http://www.pritzkerlaw.com/
