Yeah, all right, it's a Friday and we are ready to feel good
with some feel good food, the rice of cooking with Q is here
cooking up some salmon salad.
I joked that J demanded that you be here if he was going to
do the show he's a good guy and it's funny it's. It's fun to
joke about I also haven't seen you guys for I show this looks
so good Q now this is something that I've been trying to kind
of like rebranded because everybody thinks because I'm
vegan that the entire restaurant is big and it's not
but the entire restaurant is a very healthy place. So what I
make you guys today was like the mayor's special she gets
this every day this is like her favorite thing she gets a
salmon salad. So what I wanted you guys to see is we never had
a scare with taking a picture of it so it's insane. How it
comes from we know where all of our green you're not worried
about you have no worries at the kitchen. What I do want to
tell people they want to make their stamina whole people are
used to doing so used to overcooking. Yeah, really nice
piece of salmon should not take you longer if it is frozen 12
minutes if it is not frozen 7 to 8 minutes get it in get it
out it should be flaky it should be fluffy don't oversee
it season it all it needs is a little bit of lemon pepper and
let it be great. Now when you taste it, I want you to see.
All right. You got your fresh greens. Yeah, of course we've
got to give you some good fresh cherry tomatoes.
Those are from Michigan. I like to say that I forget all the
Romaine lettuce the mixed green now I like the salad greens and
if you shot would like at the Eastern market shot with some
of our farmers like they have all this stuff there for you
every week at the Eastern market. We'll just go talk to
some of the farmers they're trying to cost. I top the
salad with red onions, I don't know whether or not called
purple has gone mad in my business. Lemon pepper salmon
and then we've got to talk a little bit of papers because
capers are pretty fire, they're peppery but they're
absolutely delicious and so much flavor. So there's so
good and then notice we use a bunch of salt on salad dressers
at the kitchen are literally from scratch. So you can get
yourself are the value I am been a great mayor's favorite
where you can get us a balsamic and everything for us is like
scratch. The mayor every day. I love her she's pretty dope,
I like she was my friend before she was on there, I love.
May I pick your brain about the salmon first of all OK, so if
you buy some see have some salmon because I feel like some
of us are you figure getting tired of salmon and we need to
cook it differently. We're just putting some lemon pepper
seasoning on that and just sautéing it in a pan. This is
an oven baked in the oven base. It's called forget about it
because we don't have time and then the biggest thing you've
got to know sometimes you don't have to buy season from the
store, it's literally what you need you have limits because
the people we make fresh women. So you can take women for
destroying the women that you have on the skin and just let
it dry out polarizing the blender with peppercorns you
got lemon pepper. You pull up on us we have like today is
like the after work wind down yesterday was tacos and
turntables we have these new thing called lemon oregano
wings because people like lemon pepper wings. We do fresh
lemon oregano tossed on our wings, they're delicious wow
and it's regular. Honey, honey child.
But simple only on the front not on the back only season,
one side, you know we love to over season stuff a man go
crazy with my my God, my flip are you flipping it in the
oven and just cook. Yeah, let it be perfect. Yes, we do too
much. Yeah, I'm trying to show you all how to cook the right
coming up next hour you're going to hang out with us
because we have to talk about Q is a big deal at Ford field.
That's exciting. And she has brought one of her biggest
sellers their year 3 gumbo is going down.
I was a mayor like that what he's saying the first time I do
2 things are good cooking practice. A meal and a prayer
through a man.
We all is in town on getting a lot of good detail.
You're going to press them. Our gumbo what you can yeah,
so you're going to tell us more about that and we'll talk
about where you where you can find Q if you're going to a
game, please Ford field, please and please that are there
because you know one of the popular booths are buses
banging from the time the doors open until 4th quarter when
they say shut it down that we're like please shut down Q
that's a good time to figure out what interest we don't
