Several great techniques to learn here. First, he pounded the chicken breast so it is even thickness throughout, so it will cook evenly. Then he dipped it in flour so that the egg mix will stick to the surface. A lot of cooks would go back into the flower, but he didn’t and just went right to a shallow oil fry. Yet he still got a nice crust because the Parmesan cheese. Then he took the chicken out and added broth and starch to thicken and made a pan sauce. Then the chicken went back in long enough to warm it, but not to cook it. Beautifully done.
I like ranch dressing, but man it amazes me how this has become so popular. But guess what? you can make your own. And guess who knows how? The maestro,@ChefGruel
Your brats called, they want a beer.
The Brat Tub: brats, mustard, and a beer-and-onion bath, because Wisconsin figured out sausages deserve a spa day. Cook the bath, grill the brats, then let them soak until the crowd shows up hungry. It's a hot tub for sausages. And let's face it, they look relaxed about it.
Make these for the next game. Plain grilled brats won't get a second chance.

I found the fastest way to learn BBQ.
These five recipes teach the core skills: two-zone grilling, low and slow, reverse sear, and cooking to temperature instead of time.
DEVICE 1: THE PRIVATE CINEMA
He said the first device hiding inside every Samsung TV is a cinema-grade display system — running in the worst possible configuration since the day it was unboxed.
"Every Samsung TV ships in 'Standard' or 'Vivid' picture mode — designed to pop under fluorescent showroom lights at Best Buy. The colors are artificially saturated. The brightness is maxed. The motion smoothing is on — making every movie look like a soap opera. The sharpness is cranked — adding fake edge halos. And eco settings are silently dimming the backlight by 30–40%. You've been watching a cinema-grade panel performing like a budget TV — because no one changed the factory defaults."
THE 6-SETTING FIX (5 minutes):
① Settings → Picture → Picture Mode → Filmmaker Mode
"Built with input from Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese. Automatically disables motion smoothing, noise reduction, and artificial sharpening. Sets color to the D65 studio mastering standard. One setting — the picture stops lying."
② Settings → Picture → Expert Settings → Auto Motion Plus → Off
"Kills the soap opera effect. Movies look like movies again — not like they were filmed on a home camcorder."
③ Settings → Picture → Expert Settings → Sharpness → 0
"The Sharpness control doesn't add detail — it adds fake edge halos. At 0, the image is clean and accurate."
④ Settings → Picture → Expert Settings → Color Tone → Warm2
"The closest preset to the D65 white point. Your skin tones go from orange to human. Whites go from bluish to neutral. Give it 48 hours — you'll never go back to Cool."
⑤ Settings → Picture → Expert Settings → Contrast Enhancer → Off / Digital Clean View → Off
"Contrast Enhancer crushes shadow detail. Digital Clean View smooths over film grain. Both destroy the image the cinematographer captured."
⑥ Settings → General → Power and Energy Saving → turn off everything
"Brightness Optimization, Brightness Reduction, Motion Lighting — all off. Your electricity bill goes up $3/month. Your picture quality improves by 30–40%."
He said the audio needs fixing too.
Settings → Sound → Sound Mode → Amplify
"Boosts vocal frequencies so you can hear dialogue without cranking the volume to 80."
Settings → Sound → Expert Settings → Auto Volume → On
"Compresses the dynamic range — quiet dialogue gets louder, explosions get softer. No more riding the volume button every 30 seconds."
"These changes take 5 minutes. The picture and sound are unrecognizable afterward. Same panel. Same speakers. Different television. This is Device 1 — the cinema you paid for but never configured."
DEVICE 2: THE FREE CABLE REPLACEMENT
He said the second device hiding inside every Samsung TV is a free live TV service with 750+ channels — and most owners have never opened it.
Samsung TV Plus is a free, ad-supported streaming service built into every Samsung Smart TV. No subscription. No sign-up. No account. No fees. Over 750 live channels with content streaming 24/7 — news, movies, sports highlights, classic TV shows, cooking, travel, music, kids' programming, true crime, home renovation, automotive, and dozens of niche categories.
"Press the Home button. Look for Samsung TV Plus on the home screen or in the app list. Open it. You'll see a full channel guide — organized exactly like cable TV — with 750+ channels. Scroll through them. There are channels showing recent theatrical films. Channels with live news from major outlets. Channels running full seasons of classic TV series. Channels dedicated to true crime, nature, sports highlights, and home improvement. All free. All ad-supported. All included."
He said Samsung TV Plus also has on-demand content — not just live channels.
"Beyond the live channels, Samsung TV Plus has an on-demand library with movies and shows you can start any time — like a free Netflix with a rotating catalog. The content isn't Netflix-level prestige. But for the 3–4 hours per week when you don't want to scroll a paid streaming app for 40 minutes and just want something playing — it's there. Free. Already installed."
He said most owners don't know this exists because they skip straight to Netflix or YouTube.
"They're paying $15–$23/month for streaming subscriptions and using them as their default background TV — when 750+ free channels are sitting behind one button. Samsung TV Plus isn't replacing your Netflix. It's replacing the cable subscription you canceled 5 years ago — at $0/month instead of $120."
BONUS: THE PRIVACY FIX
He said before using any of these 5 devices, there's one thing every Samsung owner needs to do first — turn off the surveillance system.
Every Samsung TV ships with Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) active by default. It captures a fingerprint of your screen every minute and sends it to Samsung and its advertising partners. Samsung settled a lawsuit with the Texas Attorney General in February 2026 over these practices.
You need to flip 3 separate toggles — turning off only one leaves the other two active:
Settings → General & Privacy → Terms & Privacy → Viewing Information Services → Off
Same menu → Interest-Based Advertising → Off
Settings → General & Privacy → Voice → Voice Recognition Services → Off
"This takes 90 seconds. Your TV stops recording what you watch and selling the data. Re-check these every 3 months — firmware updates have re-enabled them without notification."
He also said to disable home screen ads:
Settings → General → System Manager → Samsung Promotions → Off
Settings → Support → Software Update → Auto Update → Off
"You paid $1,600 for this TV. It shouldn't serve you banner ads when you turn it on. And firmware updates shouldn't reset your settings without telling you."
Next time you make smash burgers, put the jalapeños down first and smash the beef right on top.
