They state odor is the feel most closely linked to retention recall, in addition to that was surely the representative piece making these garlicky, buttery bay scallops on toast. As waves of the wonderful aromas wafted upward from the pan, they brought dorsum a overflowing of brilliant memories of my kickoff existent kitchen job.

Barely a teenager, I was hired every bit a dishwasher at an Italian steakhouse, called The Depot (pictured below is the develop station that predated the restaurant). While it was fun beingness within a bustling kitchen, washing dishes was anything but. By comparison, what I saw the describe cooks doing looked similar the greatest undertaking ever, in addition to this surely played a component inwards my futurity career plans.

Anyway, at that topographic point was a scallop dish on the menu, which consisted of half dozen large scallops beingness placed inwards a pocket-size metallic broiler plate, seasoned alongside tabular array salt in addition to pepper, in addition to and thence doused alongside wine, lemon, garlic, in addition to butter. This was placed nether the open fire until the scallops were browned, in addition to the sauce was bubbling below.

The odor of that sizzling plate every bit it went past times my station was almost also much to take, in addition to 1 time inwards a while, thank yous to about sort of ordering mishap, I’d genuinely become to consume one.

I promise yous tin notice about small, wild scallops shortly (frozen are great, every bit long every bit “Scallops” is the alone element listed on the bag), in addition to hand this a endeavor soon. Enjoy!
