Free Movie Passes (plus recipes, too!)

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT, FOLKS: There's an exciting, brand new film coming out soon -- and if you're a foodie like me, I'm convinced you're gonna absolutely love it...love it...love it!

Here's the 411:

CHEF

(starring Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, & Robert Downey, Jr.)

Synopsis: When Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) suddenly quits his job at a prominent Los Angeles restaurant after refusing to compromise his creative integrity for its controlling owner (Dustin Hoffman), he is left to figure out what’s next. Finding himself in Miami, he teams up with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara), his friend (John Leguizamo) and his son to launch a food truck. Taking to the road, Chef Carl goes back to his roots to reignite his passion for the kitchen -- and zest for life and love.

Dear Chef, I Was Just Wondering...

...a confusing prep term?

...a tricky cooking technique?

...or an unusual ingredient?

Well, ask away!

That's because I'm dedicating this post to all of your personal culinary questions as posed in the "Comments" section below.

I'll then have one of the 35 top chefs in my book (In the Kitchen with Cleveland's Favorite Chefs) answer you back through this post. Think of it as your own personal Q&A session. And everyone benefits! (You're quite welcome.)
