What I Ate: September 15, 2010 (The Odd Duck Farm to Trailer)
Posted 17 September, 2010 at 12:13am by Michael Chu(Filed under: Food, What I Ate)
Dinner: Went back to The Odd Duck Farm to Trailer (1219 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX - (512) 695-6922), this time with Jeff Potter after he gave his Cooking for Geeks talk at Whole Foods Global Headquarters.
grilled half of quail with texas rice, apple and cheddar
slider with spiced pork belly, pickled peppers with grilled eggplant
marinated tomato and melon with chipotle, basil and goat feta
Then we decided to taste a doughnut from Gourdough's (1219 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX). Tina and I selected the Dirty Berry (Fudge Icing with Grilled Strawberries). It was delicious. I thought the crunchy exterior and chewy and fluffy interior of the doughnut was excellent and it worked really well with the melted chocolate chips and strawberries.

That talk was awesome! Thanks for setting that up! My husband and I are already looking into either getting or making a PID controller now.

I'm glad! If you don't want to rig your own, you can get one from Auber Instruments for $140: Sous Vide Controller or this new one (that has audible alarms for if the temperature goes too high) for $180: Latest Sous Vide Controller.
Another alternative if you can afford the higher cost is this immersion circulator from Williams-Sonoma. It's $800 (a couple hundred less than a digital immersion circulator that you can get normally) and WS is giving a 20-quart pot and polycarb water bath away with the unit. The circulator comes in a nice box (as opposed to circulators you buy from lab equipment retailers) with a book on sous vide supposedly written by Thomas Keller: PolyScience Immersion Circulator made for Williams-Sonoma

I think part of the appeal for my husband is figuring out how to make it from scratch. His current plans include an old hair straightener of mine and a fountain pump, but we'll see what he comes up with in the end.
