Scraps of wisdom: Art Smith
Currently debating whether I should take an aspirin, drink some tea and find the will to live or just voluntarily expire right here. Not gonna lie, it’s a really, really, really tough choice right now. Should have been drinking water for an hour last night instead of plowing into those chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds. Why?! If you are plagued by the same misfortune as myself, you know that after your recovery brunch, it’s such as hell gonna be a lot of effort to kick-start dinner. Table Fifty-Two executive chef and Common Threads founder, Art Smith, took a few minutes out of his busy schedule of cooking and rescuing babies from burning buildings to share some tips on how to save those scraps.
“Usually, brunch is mostly carbohydrates, so that immediately says casserole to me. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a casserole, honey! Often, I’d take left over croissants and make a bread pudding, or chicken and make a strata.”
