So the sous vide removes the need to confit completely submerged in duck fat?

Sort of. Remember, the volume inside a vacuum sealed bag is pretty small, and duck renders fat like crazy. Put a nice knob of fat in to start off with and you'll get plenty of fat for confit via sous vide. Additionally is this: I store in the freezer and just pull out as needed. One hour in a sous vide bath for the frozen but cooked stuff is all that needed. Pull the legs out to crisp (I use the broiler) and then stand the bag up in the fridge. Jus and fat will separate out and you can just peel the duck fat off the top to reuse.

Never cooked with thai chilis before. I put a whole green one in with some stir-fry. Put it in with the oile when I wanted to brown the garlic before throwing other things in. It did not have much of an impact on flavor. What's a good chili to use for stir fry?

Sold my Ambroisie book for a profit margin that would make the Fabulous Fab Toure blush and Amazon finally put the money in my bank account.

Ate at Fogo de Chao in ATL. Ate about 13 different meats. My belly became noah's ark. The salad bar was also very impressive. Also went shopping at the Buford Highway Farmer's Market, pretty amazing selection. Bought a huge assortment of fruits, including my favorite, cherimoya. Expensive, but worth it.

I once ate at Fogo for a co-worker's going away lunch. Once back at the office, I remember having to take a nap underneath my desk.

Fogo worth the price?

Last I checked it ranged from 28-35 for the full experience (cheaper for lunch). At that price, "hell yes". Even if it went up to $50 it would still be a good deal. Just make sure you bring your apetite and have nothing serious to do immediately after.

'Full experience' in LA is $61.95/person.

Clearly price discrimination for the LA location : (
