Birthday pics from years past. Thanks to all the friends, family and fans who sent such kind wishes. This has been a hell of a year, can 2024/25 get better? I sure as sh*t hope so! Usually I try to share some wisdom from the year that I’ve gleaned but I’m a little numb from the last 5 weeks. My kid came home. Joyous doesn’t begin to describe how that feels. So grateful. On the flip side I lost a friend very suddenly which reminded me how precious life is and how we take our relationships for granted. All of them. My Yoda, the man who taught me how to live my life for the last 32 plus years and be a functioning member of society is in the hospital and could use some collective good mojo thrown out into the universe in his direction. If you feel so inclined send some love in my friend Jim’s direction. Life is fired at point blank range. It turns on a dime in milliseconds. Learning to be grateful for what we have, growing comfortable with navigating the unknown (which is ALL of life btw), becoming fearless in all things, while at the same time being of maximum use to others is what it’s all about. Stay awesome everyone.

I just haven’t been able to express my sadness, grief and anger about the passing of my friend James Kent on Saturday. Still can’t. I met him when he was at EMP, liked him from the moment I saw him. Funny, smart, kind, polite, loved his family, his friends meant the world to him, he always reminded me to “take care of Gavin, man” referring to @gavinkaysen whom he loved dearly. I will always remember the visits to Crown Shy, the night we toured the 4 floors way above that restaurant where he laid out the dream that would become reality in a few short years. He had to have me see a certain view, eat a certain bite, listen to a certain song, and he was insatiably curious which is why I think he was so successful. A sponge of a learner. He was a generational talent as a chef and restaurateur, poised to grow his hospitality group as large as his dreams could handle. He was that good; bridging cultures and generations like no one else. And he was a true son of NYC, our hometown. These pictures are from the last time we got to actually hang out. A week in paradise @caymancookoutofficial last January. He loved that week so so much. We played pétanque together, the two of us on a team with @chefkwameonwuachi and as animated as KO and I were, he was calm and cool, hitting the winning shot to take us into the round of 16. The “bouillabaisse” riff was the last thing I ate that he cooked. So ridiculously perfect. Last week I got a note from him handwritten, telling me how we needed to “spend more time doing fun things” with our people. All the Zimmerns have nothing but love for James, Kelly, Gavin and Avery. This wound may heal over time but the scars will never fade.

My favorite fish to grill? Red snapper – it’s versatile, it’s economical and it cooks quickly. Watch as I share a few simple tips to take your grilled fish to the next level. I like to season it with a simple garlic and herb olive oil marinade, and serve it with a mixed herb salad and grilled lemons. Click the link in my bio for the complete recipe.
When it comes to grilling shrimp, bigger is always better. 🍤 Jumbo shrimp take more time to cook through, allowing them to stay in contact with the heat long enough to develop a char. For the juiciest shrimp, grill them with the shell on. The shell imparts a distinct flavor to the shrimp and acts as a heat buffer, helping to prevent overcooking. Click the link in my bio to see my two favorite shrimp seasoning blends and for more grilling recipes.
Grilling @riverenceusa trout at the MN premier party of @pbs @in2itivecontent latest doc series Hope In The Water Wednesday nights at 9e8c. Best fish sandwich is the simplest one, but that spicy pickle tartar sauce that @jpsamuelson made sealed the deal. @fedbyblue ‘s @jen_bushman caught taking too many pictures as well…
A little bit of this, a little bit of that… So many delicious and aromatic components come together to make this roasted onion salad an absolute knockout! And if you’d feel more comfortable calling this a vegetable side dish, you do you — just make sure you try this recipe out. 🧅 Get the full written recipe and extended video at the Spilled Milk link in my bio and watch as I elevate the humble onion to main dish status.
Cool, delicious and refreshing, this simple cucumber and yogurt soup only takes a few minutes to make. The technique couldn’t be easier, you’re basically blending a salad into a refreshing cold soup. I keep jars of this stuff in the fridge all summer, it’s a great healthy snack or appetizer. Recipe link in my bio!
