So yesterday (AND today) I find myself sitting at a terrific little Korean restaurant in Michigan enjoying some Kimchee jigae and some lovely accoutrement, and pondering what my top five condiments/meal accompanyments would be. Maybe it was all of that fermented goodness, but I couldn't for the life of me pick them by rank of importance, but I could however, pick 5.
Here they are in no particular order:
Sriracha (Kerry and John have to share their recipe for sriracha chicken wings)
Kimchee (that counts as accoutrement)
Mustard
Mayo
Ketchup
Here's one of my favorite meals when I'm eating solo:
ROAST CHICKEN
Roasting chicken (3-4lb)
Lemons
Garlic
Onion
Salt/Pepper/Olive Oil
Rinse chicken well, removing giblets from cavity. Pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the chicken. Cut lemon, head of garlic, and onion into quarters (you can leave the peel on everything) and put inside the chicken. If you have any rosemary or thyme sprigs on hand, throw those in too...Spread olive oil on the outside of the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place into a hot oven (425) for 75 minutes or until juices run clear. Let the bird rest for 10-15 minutes before diving in. Serve on a plate with a generous side of mustard (grey poupon), and a glass of malty beer or red wine.

kitchencorridor
Welcome to KitchenCorridor!
Kitchencorridor came about from an absolute passion for creating community around terrific food, mouthwatering wines, and strengthening the bonds between great friends.
kitchen corridor consists of Mike, Patrick, Kerry, and John. Four friends who have grown to love each other's company more and have created and enjoyed such great food, we think it's something we would love to share with you! After Mike and Patrick moved back to Chicago from a few years dining and enjoying the wonders of New York City and Las Vegas, they moved into John and Kerry's apartment right as they were moving out! John and Kerry, recent newlyweds moved a stones' throw away and continue to amaze eveyone with their culinary skills, often times exploring recipes and techniques that would normally scare the rest of us away.
Our mission for this blog is to share our unending love of food with you. We will share with you the recipes we have made and hope you find some inspiration. Food is meant to be shared. It's meant to be created together. It's meant to talk about (or at least the good and bad is). And most of all, it should be fun.
We hope that we can share recipes and other recommendations that are fun and easy so that you can enjoy these with your dear friends also making memories together that last forever.
Happy eating!
