Gorgeous, totally gorgeous.

@SavorySimple Helluva torch. I knew a chef who said the most important equipment in a kitchen is the fan. For serious crust, I saute the hell out of whatever I'm cooking (finish in the oven, if need be), but I think you want something more than that. Let me know how you sort it out.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@SavorySimple It is probably not the meat that is smoking; it is likely your oil. Lower your temp just a bit (you do still want it hot enough to sear) and that should do the trick.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@SavorySimple Why, isn't that a nice thing to say! Your blog is one of the few I still drop by for a read (The recipes! The photos!).

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@SavorySimple My blog about OCI (Oregon Culinary Institute) was fun but it was turned into a book (Culinary School: Three Semesters of Life, Learning, and Loss of Blood). Kind of sad, now, with the murder of the chef.

@kreativcollabs @HuffPostBiz It's all fun until you have a problem with your @WarbyParker glasses. Because not one @WarbyParker store will talk to you on the phone. @WarbyParker demands you take the time to physically go to their store because their stores refuse to take the time to answer your call.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@BrianovichIV @_Dream_Out_Loud @WarbyParker @WarbyParker strong customer service? Not so much. Not a single @WarbyParker store will talk to you on the phone. Want to talk to them? @WarbyParker demands you take the time to physically go to their store because their stores refuse to take the time to answer your call.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@pinkharm @WarbyParker I do, too. Because if you have any questions, @WarbyParker stores REFUSE TO TALK TO THEIR CUSTOMERS on the phone. @WarbyParker demands you take the time to go to their store because they refuse to take the time to answer their phone. Don't have time? @WarbyParker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@svs Be aware, @WarbyParker stores REFUSE TO TALK TO THEIR CUSTOMERS on the phone. @WarbyParker demands you take the time to go to their store because they refuse to take the time to answer their phone. Don't have the time? Tough. @WarbyParker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@NeilBlumenthal Never again will I buy Warby Parker. Why? Your stores REFUSE to provide telephone customer service. Want to clarify an issue with a clerk? I have to get in my car and drive to the other end of the city. Don't have the time? Tough. Warby Parker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@ElizabethGore @NeilBlumenthal @WarbyParker @HelloAlice Here's the secret: Warby Parker stores REFUSE to speak to so much as a single customer on the phone. Want to talk to the person that was helping you in the store? Get in your car and drive. Don't have the time? Tough. Warby Parker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@Kait_liiin @WarbyParker Great customer service until you want to call your local store. They they'll refuse to talk to you. That's right, the stores REFUSE to talk to customers on the phone. You want to talk to a store member, you better get in your car and drive. No time? Warby Parker doesn't care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@HowIBuiltThis @WarbyParker Well, they DID have to open a bunch of stores, didn't they?

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@Brank_jr At least, until you want to speak with someone in a store. Because if that day comes, NOT ONE of those stores will provide telephone customer service. You'll need to get in your car and drive because stores refuse to talk to you. Don't have the time? Warby Parker doesn't care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@tirogeli @WarbyParker And to make matters worse, if you want to speak to customer service in a local store, they will REFUSE. So if you do want to ask someone in a local store a question, better be prepared to get in your car and drive. Don't have the time? Tough. Warby Parker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@jayBEEsayss Hope they turn out okay because if they don't Warby Parker stores REFUSE to talk to their customers by phone. So if you want to talk to a store, be ready to get in your car and drive because stores refuse to pick up the phone. Don't have the time? Warby Parker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@trevorsumner And not a one, NOT ONE of those stores will provide telephone customer service. Want to talk to someone in a store? Then get in your car and drive because they will NOT pick up the phone to talk to you. Don't have the time? Tough. Warby Parker does not care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@JessicaGMendoza @WarbyParker Hope they turn out okay because if they don't, they refuse to provide telephone customer service. Want to talk to someone in a store? Then get in your car and drive because they will NOT pick up the phone to talk to you. Don't have the time? Tough. They don't care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@laurenthomasx3 And none of them, NONE OF THEM, provide telephone customer service. Want to talk to someone in a store? Then get in your car and drive because they will NOT pick up the phone to talk to you. Don't have the time? Tough. They don't care.

[S.J. Sebellin-Ross @SjSebellinRoss]

@WarbyParker You refuse to speak to your paying customers? TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I just called and you refused to connect me to the store so I could speak directly with the person who was helping me. NEVER SHOP AT WARBY PARKER AGAIN.
