In less than 3 weeks (June.. 6TH?!?😭😂😭) I join the elite ranks of Ernest Hemingway, Paulo Coelho and... @justinbieber 😱(you better "belieb" it👍) as an AuthOOOOOOR!! I had the first world privilege of spending the last 2 years pouring as much humor, never ending failure+behind-the-scenes humility and semantic recipe detail (incl recalculating illegal+underground measurements for EVERY recipe, if you want a jump start on your own illicit "place" 🙇🏻 #pleaseinviteme) as I could into this... BOOK!📕 And if you didn't know, it's just as much memoir as it is a cookbook with stories in between+IN every recipe too AND shit just got 💯REAL when I got THESE last week (included a hilarious "Bananas", banana from my loving editor @milesdoyle 🍌😏) I'm fucking proud of it and still can't believe it! Will it be a commercial success+get on that pie-in-the-sky (btw, what flavor pie is it anyway, I'd like to know+have a slice of this pie please 😝) @nytimes best seller list? Will I get a razzie? Am I still scared shitless (answer: YES😣) Does any of this really fucking matter?!? Not really, but we sure as hell ain't gonna stop pushing, would love for y'all to come along for the ride🤘 and keep shooting for the mother fuckin' STAAAAARS💫 (*whoosh!*😆) This book's for all of you that have supported us through the years. This book is for the many that have tolerated me+have some how become fans despite... Me! LOL This book will hopefully serve as inspiration for you guys who want to do more and consider that we were (+still are😉) a simple couple who had no experience, no idea and no other choice in the economic crash than starting an underground restaurant JUST to see where it would take them... And here we are now, #failingupwards together, with all of you.✊ Thanks kids. Let's enjoy the weekend, but really... LIFE!! (and don't ever hesitate to invite us too🙌🙌🙌😁) #ernesthemingway #ernesthemingwayrollinginhisgrave #paolocoelho #paolocoelhocomingafterme #belieberbook4ever #adventuresinstarrykitchen #starrykitchen #skbookhustlin (at Banana Suit Enterprises)

Rainbow Carrots with Sweet Soy Glaze from Adventures in Starry Kitchen. I just bought this cookbook and this seemed like a good tester recipe. They turned out well; the glaze is really tasty. We also had fresh pasta with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil and really good bicolor corn on the cob from Berkeley Bowl. It all made sense in my head. #carrots #starrykitchen #dinner #homemade #cooking #delicious #tasty (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQAZG9jhOhd/?utm_medium=tumblr

SOOOOO I “guess” I’m going to be on the #BestThingIEverAte on @cookingchannel to-day/night (8pm EST/5pm PST😅) talking about my favoritEST Vietnamese Shaken Beef (aka Bo Luc Lac🤤😋) at #NewportSeafood if you’re bored and wanna watch.🙇🏻🙏🙇🏻 The network gave me all sorts of cool animated gifs with my face and food porn too, but I ended up falling in love with making a crappy drawing of myself on an old school tv that I feel is a “close” representation of what I think I look like on tv?!?🤔😂🙋‍♂️😭📺 #adventuresinstarrykitchen #failingupwards #boluclac #StarryKitchen (at Newport Seafood Restaurant)
