Ask the Chef with Co-Host Chef Andrew Gruel of Calico Fish House

Chef Andrew is an unabashed fan of asparagus. In his professional opinion it’s the best vegetable in the garden. “When cooked correctly it’s sweet, grassy, nutty and sometimes even buttery. The problem people have with asparagus is that they don’t prepare it correctly so they end up with either woody, overcooked asparagus that’s hard to chew or bland, underseasoned mushy asparagus.” Chef Andrew joins us with his best tips on properly cooking and preparing asparagus.
