Slog - Comments on Anti-Recipe of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/antirecipe_of_the_day (Credit) French Laundry at Home, a hilarious (yes, hilarious) food blog you should check out--now!--if you haven't already, on cooking tripe: You know when you walk into a nursing home for the first time, and there's a distinct, rather unpleasant smell? Or, when you drive past a sewage treatment plant or paper mill? Or the airplane bathroom on a Southwest Airlines flight? Or a hospital's burn unit?

Kind of the sausage and cream cheese of that part of the world. The smell was just everywhere on my drunk walk home. Totally foul. In three years I never got used to it.

cleaned thoroughly and properly, tripe can be terrific. second seme's muy macho rec.

Along with menudo I had it for dim sum years ago.

The "employee lounge" was a horrible dank windowless room with a few mismatched tables and chairs, and the whole thing glazed with nicotine and reeking of cigarette smoke. The kitchen would put out a hot dish every evening for the employees to eat, and one night it was tripe.

That was my introduction to tripe. As well as my tripe swan song. It was just plain nasty. But then again, everything there was nasty. It was a dreadful place.

They had a fire a few years back, and I hoped that they would tear it down, but unfortunately, they only took out the one space that was kind of cool" The rooftop cocktail lounge.
