 5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe. Winter is here - and with a downright vendetta for us New York-based editors. When we're not swathed in our CNN Snuggies, spooning with the radiator and dousing our faces with hot cocoa, we're keeping warm by filling our bellies with steaming stews, soups and braised meats. Just in case you needed any more reasons - other than sheer blizzard survival - to slowly cook slabs of meat to fall-off-the-bone tenderness, chef Josh Thomsen is here to spread the braising doctrine. Thomsen is a protégé of Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry and Michael Mina’s Nobhill Tavern, is now the executive chef of Meritage at the Claremont, an AAA Four-Diamond hotel in Berkeley, California. Reasons to Braise This Winter: Josh Thomsen 2. It allows someone to create a great meal with a less expensive cut of protein. 3. Less clean up! 4. Easy for any chef 5. Winter = Braising Braised short ribs? Slow-cooked pork shoulder? What's your favorite winter weather dish? Share in the comments below. Is there someone you'd like to see in the hot seat? Let us know in the comments below and if we agree, we'll do our best to chase 'em down. |

Chef Josh's recipe was perfect! My family loved it..
BALTHAZAR'S BRAISED RIB RECIPE. The best. google it.
I just went back and read the article....I am a horrible cook but I like the "set it and forget it" idea of cooking!
I am also an infomercial junky and Ron Popeil is my hero.
For those who want a direct link his website is http://www.JoshThomsen.com
Here's the real link to the short rib recipe mentioned above. http://joshthomsen.com/JT_Recipes/?cat=7
I started working with this chef a few months ago. I have to say I have never tasted anything better 'foods' than what he creates.
I highly reccomending visiting his website and taking notes of everything he suggests and his recipes.
Thank you for the link(s) – makes for a much better post read experience to have all the information :-).
I must say that the beginning of this commentary was amazingly dominated by what appears to have been the most complex case of multiplpe personalities I have ever witnessed outside of this particular blog, where these and others of this person's personalities have carried on earlier and equaly skilled conversatioins within itself.
– multiple - or to carry the typo further: multipeople...
These braised short ribs are very tasty. Serve over some nice buttery mashed potatoes.

I just made guinness braised short ribs the other night...perfect for a cold winter night.
What do any of your comments have to do with cooking?
Ok.....ummmmmm... I actually have a comment on this story so I hope the writers/editors actually read it. It would be nice to have a link to some good braised recipes. I don't even know all of the meats that can/can't be braised, now that I am inspired to try it!
Braising recipes? Your wish - our command. We'll get some up!
Please include some braised vegetable dishes- I'd love some new ideas on veggie side dishes!
Please, join us at the Klatsch tomorrow! The more the merrier!
I say tomorrow as I believe I am the last (wo)man standing tonight!
Every day I log on here just to read all of your comments, better stuff than the article most of the time!
It is the same stuff, word for word, every day.
i just spent half my day reading all of this stuff and all i can say is, YOUR ALL CRAZY. Can i play?
You need to have your IQ removed first.
Cause I have to carry you on my shoulder! I'm not good at multi-tasking
And now I would like everyone to join me in the singing the chorus from "We Are The Champions". I would also like Rich, Truth, Dave and TWO to carry me around the lounge on their shoulders while we sing. Ready...
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end...
Why do I feel that not everyone is singing?
I'm PROUD of you but I can't carry a tune in a paper bag!
Ummmm-Queen-What did YOU have for lunch?
Richard, I chose all 4 of you as a Queen can not be carried by just any man. She must be carried by only the best. I didn't want to make the others feel left out by just picking you. BTW, don't think I don't know that's a crack about my weight.
Um, I think I'll pass, threw my back out the other day, and, well, you know, wouldn't want to do any more damage and all...
(Quick, witt, there's the door!!!)
Witt? Witt?
Damn, He's already out the door...
Hey, Witt, Wait for meeee....
Your highness, I will even rub the royal feet later if you should so beckon...
Well, it's nice to know there is one gentlemen in this group of clods. Dave is soooo losing his jester privleges.
Now wait just a minute, I'm your jester, my job is to make you laugh, not cause permenant, dibilitating injuries. that's those other guy's jobs!!!
NOT hitting that...
Ohhhh Hell NOOOOOO!
Thought I had that one....
I WON!!!!!!! Take that suckers!!!!!!!
You GO Girl!
Well played!
Well played.
I am honored to come in second to you!
Thanks much! I'll have to remember your "ping" for next time. I wouldn't really 'hit it' if given the opportunity. Michael Psilakis on the other hand...
My Ping is your Ping! ANYtiime!
Not hittin that
There's an original comment.....oh, wait a minute, no it isn't.
Ping
I'd hit it!!
Well played your highness...!
Thank you! I screeched a little when I did it and one of my co-workers came to check on me. I told her I thought I saw a mouse.
My admin assistant has heard me on occasion as well. I thought my head was going to explode during our little joke-fest earlier. Hard to keep from laughing at stuff that funny...
Was there EVER a doubt? Well played my dear!
I learned from the best and by that I mean JDizz. See there I go again. Bad Queen, bad Queen.
How original. Same gripping comment every day. I am always at the edge of my seat wondering what you guys are going to come up with next, all the while, masturbating all over each other. I would say at least it was funny once but I'd be lying. You probably all have the comments on a Word doc and just copy and paste the same unimaginative drivel like fucking robots.
