On a twinkly evening in Boston, our kitchen crew descended upon the lovely home of <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/preorder-sweepstakes">sweepstakes winner</a> Kris, the lucky recipient of a seven-course dinner featuring some of our favorite ChefSteps recipes. Their mission: cook an unforgettable, joy-inducing feast for Kris and his crew, and introduce them to the power of <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/joule">Joule</a>—the first hardware tool from ChefSteps. On the night in question, our uber-gracious host gathered his nearest and dearest and prepared them for the full gastronomical onslaught.The guests’ favorite dish? “Unanimously, the pastrami,” says Kris. “The texture was out of this world—it was like eating butter but a billion times better; probably the best piece of meat I have ever eaten before. Think it also introduced those less familiar with sous vide to the technique and hardware in a way that blew their mind and instantly made them believers.” (Wowee, thanks Kris! We’re blushing!)Scroll down for an inside look at this super-special dinner. And thanks again to Kris and his guests for welcoming us so warmly—and for sharing our undying obsession with cooking, eating, and connecting with the people we care about. (Oh, and drinking. Drinking’s good too.)
