Braised all day  osso bucco or beef ribs is my Christmas Meal go to. Think it started in Miami on a mural. A celebratory meal at a spot called the Forge.

With braised collards,  potatoes, a few other things… and maybe a riff on the macaroni and cheese that jamaican-american roommates taught me 15 years ago that I can’t ever not do anymore.

Saving all that for the cookbook, but if you want to see where my head is at on this dish, check out chef Ludo Lefebvre below.

If you want to see another take... Chef Billy Parisi has you covered.
