Speaker 1: bit about what I like to do on the fourth
Speaker 1: of July. We're fortunate enough that we have a pool,
Speaker 1: so we try to do a pool barbecue every single year.
Speaker 1: A lot of times people are traveling, but lately it's
Speaker 1: been so chaotic and hectic that I found a lot
Speaker 1: of people are staying in so for the holidays, we've
Speaker 1: been having people over all year. I like to cook.
Speaker 1: I have a cookbook if you want to check it out,
Speaker 1: it's called Back to the kitchen. I think you just
Speaker 1: get it on Amazon. Probably, I don't know. I made
Speaker 1: it a long time ago, and I don't remember where
Speaker 1: they sell it, or they have a website or any
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I don't really care, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you. I wrote it. I was bored. I think
Speaker 1: we were in the pandemic or it just started. I
Speaker 1: don't know. But anyway, I love to cook, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to talk about the greatest meal I ever prepared
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July. Are you ready? We had
Speaker 1: the grill ready, and I wanted to do something special
Speaker 1: for everyone. And my buddy, his name's Macha. His name's
Speaker 1: masa Aki Aoyama, and we call him Macha San, and
Speaker 1: he's the man dude. He was a sushi chef at
Speaker 1: this restaurant called Asan, which is in the valley here
Speaker 1: in southern California, and it had a Zagut rating of
Speaker 1: perfection just one word. And it's a Michelin rated restaurant
Speaker 1: as well. And the food there is crazy expensive, but
Speaker 1: I would eat there back in the nineties when it
Speaker 1: was cheap, before it was popular, because they did an
Speaker 1: id That's a good note for all you people that
Speaker 1: are under twenty one. If you want to drink and
Speaker 1: break the law, just don't wrap me out or anything.
Speaker 1: But go to Japanese restaurants. They don't cart, so they're like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're probably twenty six twenty seven, even though
Speaker 1: you're nineteen. So that's what I did, and that's how
Speaker 1: I found this place. And back then, Macha was just
Speaker 1: a busboy. And this fool was so talented that he
Speaker 1: went from busboy to backkitchen to assistant sus chef, to
Speaker 1: sushi chef behind the counter, to the head sushi chef
Speaker 1: of the restaurant. And then he got into pottery and
Speaker 1: was so sick at that that he made all the
Speaker 1: dishes for the restaurant as well, and each one was
Speaker 1: unique and like beautiful and crazy. He would make the
Speaker 1: sake cups that you would drink hot or cold sak
Speaker 1: out of all this stuff. So I said, Macha, we're
Speaker 1: doing Fourth of July. Do you want to come and
Speaker 1: cook with me and party and drink and swim and
Speaker 1: all that good stuff? He said absolutely. I said, if
Speaker 1: I give you a budget, will you come through with
Speaker 1: some good stuff? He goes, how big a budget? He
Speaker 1: writes back, I said big. He said how big? I said,
Speaker 1: let's just say get what you get and we're good,
Speaker 1: and I'll throw this out there. The bill was shortly
Speaker 1: under five k, all right, But I was making mad
Speaker 1: dough back then, so that was not the money was
Speaker 1: not the issue. I have two kids now and they
Speaker 1: get all my money, so that you're getting burgers on
Speaker 1: the grill in twenty twenty three. But pre kids, we
Speaker 1: went hard. So I said, all right, dude, go and
Speaker 1: get it all. My man comes in with this was
Speaker 1: way before it was like in grocery stores. Okay, my
Speaker 1: man comes in with a one I think was a
Speaker 1: one graded whatever, the A five, a four, whatever, the
Speaker 1: top shelf of wagyu beef, kobe steak from Japan, not
Speaker 1: from America. From Japan. He comes through with two and
Speaker 1: a half pounds of yellowtail collar, which is just like
Speaker 1: it sounds, the collar, the meat around the neck of
Speaker 1: the fish, and he says, trust me on this, this
Speaker 1: is going to be delicious. He starts wrapping it in foil. Okay,
Speaker 1: I go, what's this? He goes, I see this like
Speaker 1: red looking tuna. I say, what's this? He goes, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's special for later. That's for you and me. I go, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: some special fish. Right. So now he gets into all
Speaker 1: these like beautiful vegetables, these Japanese mountain potatoes, these fermented
Speaker 1: soy beans. You guys would not like them, but I
Speaker 1: really really do. But I don't recommend him. Most people go, ah, God,
Speaker 1: this is terrible. My dude brought chicken hearts that we
Speaker 1: were going to grill. All right, don't freak out. These
Speaker 1: were delicious. Kids were eating them. Now mine, I don't
Speaker 1: have babies yet, but my few friends who brought kids
Speaker 1: even they were eating them. They were so good. We
Speaker 1: just didn't tell We just told it was chicken. We
Speaker 1: didn't tell him it was hearts. He brings sushi, tons
Speaker 1: of sushi, and then he brings this crate and I
Speaker 1: mean crate of the best to this day sake that
Speaker 1: I've ever tasted in my life. I'll never forget. It
Speaker 1: was called tamadae is zumi. And this is twenty years ago,
Speaker 1: so you could probably find this mug on Amazon these days.
Speaker 1: It was the smoothest alcohol that I've ever y'all know
Speaker 1: I love some sake. This was the smoothest that I
Speaker 1: ever tasted in my life. Also, crazy expenses, probably way
Speaker 1: cheaper now because it's so much later and they just
Speaker 1: have you know, how it goes. Stuff isn't cool anymore,
Speaker 1: and then it gets cheap. But yeah, so this is
Speaker 1: all the stuff that he brings, over all these amazing vegetables,
Speaker 1: Japanese egg plants. I told you about the potatoes, all
Speaker 1: kinds of yummy different seaweeds, cucumbers, all these like delicious
Speaker 1: like sushi platters for everybody where everything was fresh. So
Speaker 1: we go and we have this dinner and then he goes, Freddy,
Speaker 1: come back here. And we've had a few sakes and
Speaker 1: a few beers at this point, okay, and so a
Speaker 1: lot of you were gonna get mad at me for this,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know until after. So it goes, Freddy,
Speaker 1: come here, come here, So right, go ahead and back
Speaker 1: and he goes, this is for us, this is what
Speaker 1: was so special. And it's this small like cut of
Speaker 1: fish that's probably like, I don't know, four inches long
Speaker 1: and like three inches wide. He gives me a slice
Speaker 1: and I eat it, and I go, oh man, that's
Speaker 1: that's really good. It's just like but and this is
Speaker 1: raw sashi and it tasted like it was marinated in butter,
Speaker 1: and he goes, now, try it with wassabi, slices it up,
Speaker 1: puts some mosabi on it. I eat that one, no
Speaker 1: soy sauce, Like, oh my god, dude, that's insane. He goes,
Speaker 1: all right, last one. He slices a third slice, and
Speaker 1: then the other half is for him. Right, He's gonna
Speaker 1: have three slices, and he puts this sweet soy on it.
Speaker 1: And I taste it and I go, oh my god, dude,
Speaker 1: that's heaven. That's like the ultimate barbecue finisher right there,
Speaker 1: because it tasted like a barbecue sauce on this, almost
Speaker 1: like a Japanese style of barbacue sauce. I go, what
Speaker 1: is that? He goes, Oh, it's way you. I go,
Speaker 1: way you, man? But what is it in English? And
Speaker 1: he goes, way you, and I go no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I hear you do. But the translation, man, I I
Speaker 1: don't know that. And I can speak Japanese like ordering
Speaker 1: sushi like I can order in Japanese, and I can say, hello,
Speaker 1: where's the bathroom, where's the embassy? That girl looks good
Speaker 1: as my dad used to sit back in the old days.
Speaker 1: That's about my extent so I go, no, dude, I
Speaker 1: don't know what way you means. What is whata you means?
Speaker 1: And he goes way and I kind of stopped and
Speaker 1: cocked my head and went, yo, are you trying to
Speaker 1: say whale? And he goes Nasa said. He goes yeah,
Speaker 1: and I go, oh shit, and he goes what. I go, dude,
Speaker 1: are we even allowed to eat this? He goes no,
Speaker 1: but it's okay. I go, dude, I just said him,
Speaker 1: I stayed a whale. I feel so bad now. And
Speaker 1: he goes, but it was good, right. I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was olous. But that's horrible, man. You can't do
Speaker 1: that to me. I was drunk, remember this. So it
Speaker 1: ended up being the greatest meal that everyone had. It
Speaker 1: ended up being a traumatic experience for me, but one
Speaker 1: of the best meals I ever had. The steaks were
Speaker 1: all medium rare. Even my friends who like it well
Speaker 1: done weren't trying to mess around with Maya. He just
Speaker 1: sort of commands respect, So people do what he says.
Speaker 1: Everyone ate a ton of fresh, delicious sushi. We had
Speaker 1: these beautiful oysters called Kumamoto oysters, and he made this
Speaker 1: delicious like ponzu vinagarette that went on top of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody ate like kings. It was one of
Speaker 1: the best meals that I've ever had, and we didn't
Speaker 1: even have to go out to do it. It got
Speaker 1: to be in our backyard. Everyone had drinks, everyone nobody
Speaker 1: even smoked cigarettes, so it was smelled lovely like food
Speaker 1: the whole time. Everybody had a great swim. It was
Speaker 1: my best Fourth of July. I hope all of you
Speaker 1: have an even greater Fourth of July than that every
Speaker 1: single year, and I wish all of you a happy weekend. Poochs.
