00:03:00
◼
►

◼

[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
stands up at these events and says it's
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
so wonderful to have everyone at table
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
and you just you know you want to throw
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
your braised rutabagas on the floor at
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
that moment but but the person sitting
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
next to you is so and interesting and
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
entertaining that you don't want to
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
leave table anyway so Kirk Timur Meister
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
was very early on a character that did
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
this farm-to-table thing where he sold
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
his cafe Satyam and moved to Vashon
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
Island Korres Maria Semple would say
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
Vashon Island
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
which is an island very near to Seattle
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
but but very rural so it's it's you know
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
took 25 minute ferry ride but it's like
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
going back in time and you can own a
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
farm there and you can raise your
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
children with bare feet right on song
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
right on farm that's right
[TS]
00:04:22
◼
►
and so Kurt and I used to I lived at the
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
but he decided he didn't want to be a
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
restaurant tour anymore he wanted to be
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
a farmer and so he has this wonderful
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
farm where he grows all these wonderful
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
things and then he has these dinners he
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
had and we went at dinner because our
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
generation is so fucking stupid and
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
funny I'm sure he's a very nice man but
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
what would make you go from like I like
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
drinking out of aluminum cans to I'm
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
going to become a metallurgist it's not
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
it's so odd that like that just seems
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
like such a normal thing now well first
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
I used to do this fruity thing with food
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
so I decided to go closer to the source
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
- no I'm on farm and that he's on farm
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
and he and the thing about Curtis he's
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
wonderful but he's also awful good well
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
it's very difficult character he would
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
be the first to admit it
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
and so he moved out there and then he
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
periodically he would have these dinners
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
where you would come to farm and he
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
would have table you would sit at table
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
and he would he would serve you meal and
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
it was again it was it was just the food
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
that he grew on and raised on his farm
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
the only things that he didn't make
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
himself were sugar salt coffee wine and
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
wheat think he could buy at store from
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
merchants at store from merchants or
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
merchants would deliver
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
oh he's probably got a fucking milk
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
truck drawn by a bear yeah here's milk
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
and so it was oh no we had milk he has
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
yeah and he made his own cheese cause he
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
wanted Snapple or something you had to
[TS]
00:06:10
◼
►
go to a store if you wanted to Napoli
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
and of course he served wine with the
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
dinner because these are fancy people
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
and he had a big long table in an old
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
and he converted like I think one of the
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
structures on his property was the
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
oldest cabin on Vashon Island that he
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
eventually turned into his house and
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
then there were these barns and stuff
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
that he turned into big sort of spaces
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
anyway it was wonderful and he would
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
prepare the meal and he had oh and so he
[TS]
00:06:38
◼
►
he also apprenticed
[TS]
00:06:41
◼
►
young Chevy people from Seattle who
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
would come over and I think probably
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
work for free or work for less than free
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
they probably had to pay with like a
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
pound of flesh to have the privilege to
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
stand in this kitchen and make this food
[TS]
00:06:58
◼
►
for these swells and initially it was
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
just friends of his and then it he
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
extended the franchise to if you knew a
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
friend of his you could come to this
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
it was friend of friend and then you had
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
to know someone who had been to a dinner
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
before and pretty soon the legacy right
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
pretty soon that became too unwieldy
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
there were too many people who wanted to
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
go because these dinners didn't happen
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
all the time it's a lot of work and it
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
sounds like it could get kind of costly
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
well and it was costly I didn't drink
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
wine and also I was a friend so I didn't
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
get too costly but there were but people
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
were paying money for sure enough
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
tickets and and it went from being a
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
thing where you would sit sit at table
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
and everyone around table was somebody
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
that you knew from town or they were all
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
artists and you know and Kurt was gay so
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
he had access to like a lot of very
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
interesting people that were middle-aged
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
people that had lived a lot of lives you
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
know it was a it was a very fascinating
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
so long thin line it was great but then
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
it became more and more rich people who
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
were less and less fascinating they
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
thought they were faster days but they
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
were the type of rich people who went to
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
things like this because they were rich
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
because they were rich and but they were
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
you know because they were interesting
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
they were lawyers and they were more
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
interesting than the people that worked
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
at their office that's the thing they
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
thought they were the interesting ones
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
because they went to this thing n bash
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
huh but then you're sitting next to them
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
and you're like oh wait a minute
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
I'm the interesting person here like I'm
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
the one that's gonna make this
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
interesting for this person to go back
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
to the office and feel like they'd had
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
an interesting experience but you're not
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
helping me know at all why don't you
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
give me your watch hey buddy let me hold
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
your wallet is this your card
[TS]
00:08:48
◼
►
using mr. rocker but so Kurt eventually
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
was like I don't you know I as soon as I
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
say I'm having a dinner it sells out
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
immediately so now I'm going to cyst
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
that if I don't know you personally that
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
you write an essay or do a piece of art
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
in order to come to the dinner okay and
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
then what he did was he gave himself a
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
job of grading three hundred pieces of
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
art and he was like no screw that it
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
sounds like the beginning of a PBS
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
special I never finished and eventually
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
he said I'm not doing this anymore
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
he suffered something very interesting
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
he began as a restaurant tour moved to
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
farm and soon found himself art so he
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
said I'm not doing that anymore now I'm
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
just going to make so he wrote a book
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
about the about farm-to-table which was
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
very influential and I think he
[TS]
00:09:39
◼
►
influenced a whole generation of of
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
cooks here in Seattle who aspire to chef
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
them oh look at that Kurt Timmer Meister
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
Kirk Timur Meister growing a feast the
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
chronicle of a farmer table meal there
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
it is he was pretty
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
he was pretty early on in this game and
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
very and bare almost anyone who's
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
cooking in Seattle now who is who
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
believes in farm-to-table is influenced
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
by or has some connection to Kurt so so
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
Kurt decided to start making cheese
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
which was the new farm-to-table II thing
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
to do attachment cheeses cheese requires
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
that you do interesting things to get to
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
make it good so he started making cheese
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
and then he started making ice cream and
[TS]
00:10:28
◼
►
then he opened a shop on Capitol Hill
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
that is a very very cute ice cream store
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
and on Capitol Hill in Seattle now
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
they're there like just five or six
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
different places that you can go get
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
some expensive ice cream
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
I think Kurt's is the most expensive but
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
it's also like it's very good you know
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
it's your if you're gonna pay ten
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
dollars for a pint of ice cream like I
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
would highly recommend that you go to
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
anyway Kurt contacted a small group of
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
his friends at one point and said
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
I am butchering a cow and if you want
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
tell me mm-hmm and I wrote him and said
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
I won some and he said okay give me $250
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
hmm I said okay hmm and then he said
[TS]
00:11:21

in the old days when we were kids and

00:23:24
◼

remember until I was reading these are
[TS]
00:23:27
◼
►
you talking about like this distinction
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
between like what you get at a deli
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
versus what in England they might call
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
like a Sunday roast right I'd forgotten
[TS]
00:23:34
◼

[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
nice thing only the roast beef that I
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
get at the at the deli is that's the
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
only kind of roast beef I I've
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
experienced in 20 years but when we were
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
kids we'd go to Sunday dinner at
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
somebody's house first eat dinner you
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
could be four or or at a holiday right
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
wasn't absolutely that kind of beef done
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
well I mean you does not have to be a
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
standing rib roast you can make you can
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
make a pretty nice for his roast beef it
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
doesn't have to be super costly it's all
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
about the preparation I think this is a
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
the experiment for you you got a nice
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
oven you could do this I need this what
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
is it what do I do
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
I think foreing to talk about what about
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
tell me about herbs well you know I I
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
realize yeah you understand it may be
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
resistant to this but one thing that's
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
kind of fun and counterintuitive is
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
sous-vide where you cook it in like a
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
water bath in bags I know I know okay so
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
if you don't wanna do that okay here
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
here's the very very short version of
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
how to make a steak like don't get the
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
nice to stick in the world but get a
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
nice stick maybe get a New York Strip or
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
or you could get a ribeye but I don't
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
say start with a New York Strip it's
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
more forgiving let the steak come to you
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
won't probably meat rare to medium-rare
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
right yeah my quickie would be get your
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
steak let it come to room temperature so
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
have it out for like an hour or so get a
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
pan get a fan going get a pan going very
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
very very hot and put a little bit or
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
probably little bit of like oil in there
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
maybe canola oil or lard you could use
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
but canola oil will be fine
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
get a fan going get a pan going get a
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
fan in a pan put lots of kosher salt on
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
either side of the steak and on the
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
edges and then any of the other kinds of
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
things that you would like it actually
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
does not need to be a ton of stuff I
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
would say pepper you might put some
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
garlic powder or you can use fresh
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
garlic but garlic garlic powder powder
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
actually works pretty well you can put
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
on some secret salt I think you're not a
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
fan of secret salt but you could put
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
that on if you talk about Lowry fume msg
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
yeah and then the idea is when it's
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
super hot you kind of like gently a real
[TS]
00:25:36
◼
►
gentle like you put it in there with
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
your tongs
[TS]
00:25:38
◼
►
you should hear lots of sizzling and
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
what you can do is what I do is at that
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
point I've got something get rosemary
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
you get time and you get a little bit of
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
bay leaf and I put that on top of the
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
steak and then I got this little iron
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
deal that I put on top that like holds
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
it down and Sears it but now wait a
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
minute aren't those three things
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
rosemary thyme bay leaf bay leaf I know
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
I like bay leaf in a spaghetti sauce
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
I'll always throw a couple of bay Leafs
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
and a spaghetti I've never been quite
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
sure what a bay leaf does I think it
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
might be a jamup
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
but it seems to do something my Aunt
[TS]
00:26:09
◼
►
Martha mm-hmm had a famous spaghetti
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
sauce every family's got somebody that's
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
got a famous spaghetti sauce mm-hmm
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
Martha had this famous spaghetti sauce
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
i none of us could figure out what it
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
was that made it so good that made it so
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
distinctive and i think it was the bay
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
leaf so i started throwing bay leaf in
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
my spaghetti sauce but i don't think i
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
throw enough bay leaf in there you have
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
to kind of break them in half and throw
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
them in a hole and take them out at the
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
end right okay
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
but i mean this is a real simple method
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
and there's there's more sophisticated
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
ways to do what we're talking about here
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
but so then so what I do what I do then
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
is like I say I put I put those herbs I
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
don't put the herbs I don't like smash
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
them into the steak before i sear it at
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
that point it's mostly it's mostly salt
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
so it's the most important part and and
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
so at that point now it's searing a
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
little bit you got your you got your
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
herbs on top of the steak with a little
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
iron thing you pushing it down or
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
similar you could use also use another
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
pan but kind of push it down we don't
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
get a lot of BTUs so it needs some help
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
now at this point what I would do is
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
take about two tablespoons of butter and
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
put that into the pan okay now you're
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
gonna count lift up the thing scrape off
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
you scrape off the herb so that the
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
herbs go into the butter that's melting
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
really fast now you want to redistribute
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
all the oily stuff you flip the steak
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
back over at this point you spoon some
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
of the Irby butter onto the top of the
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
steak that's cooking spoon the Irby
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
butter spoon the Irby butter you get
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
yourself a tablespoon be careful not to
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
burn your hand it's really easy to do
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
but when you kind of turn the pan a
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
little bit and get some Irby butter you
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
put that on there
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
you let that sear real good now there's
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
a few times do you get to doneness that
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
you want but I would say try that you
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
can also if you wanted you could you
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
could flip it again and do the butter on
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
the other side too but at this point you
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
got that's gonna be a pretty good steak
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
right there mm-hmm I know I'm just I'm
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
so confident that I could do that exact
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
thing and screw it up right now anybody
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
can I mean it's it's it's and that the
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
problem is like it is kind of a game of
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
seconds in a lot of ways you know you
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
