"Receiving a grant for the woods in honor of Dunda receiving his green card, the International Chefs of Mystery! bid adieu to city life as well as his former Canuck self, and head outside to the Great Outdoors. So to commemorate this momentous occasion, our gourmet heroes proudly embrace their long lost yet renewed gothic American regionalism through the lost Joy of Action Cooking, an abstractly expressionistic cuisine of amber waves of grain of salt lightly peppered with grapes of wrath. Watch your beloved duo strategize about how to remake if not update such forgotten dishes as the Jackson Potluck, a Depression era favorite made from bacon, goose, and other animal fat drippings on a huge flat pan served on the floor. Or John’s Steuart Curry (not to be confused with John Steuart’s Curry, a completely different recipe) which called for egg tempura that a certain Thomas Hart Benton despised because of his well-documented ovaphobia.
So in the name of plein air, join our two city mice on their day trip to green the acre.
