Binging with Babish: Room Service Beef Wellington from Mad Men

Pre-order my first cookbook, Eat What You Watch: A Cleverly-Titled Romp Through the Fanciful Fêtes of Fiction! Really it's just called Eat What You Watch, but I should have called it that instead.

Mad Men continued AMC's hot streak of well-acted, well-written, morally irreverent dramas with its sordid look at the lives of Madison Avenue's top advertisers. In an early episode, Roger Sterling attempts to woo America's favorite mistress with a light room service lunch: Oysters Rockefeller, Beef Wellington, and Napoleons. This week, blatantly disregard your cholesterol levels and fire up a Lucky Strike as we indulge in some hotel-room-hedonism with our silver fox boss.

The Duke of Wellington didn't care what he ate, so his chefs made crazy recipes. Thus, the beef weelington.

Dude!! Dude.. I bet if Gordon Ramsay watches this he will give you a slow clap during that cross cut!! Amazing man! They should have sent a poet because I have no words!

Me, thinking: Imagine if Babish and Gordon Ramsay met for an episode.

Three seconds later: "Use Gordon Ramsay's wipsy flipsy method."
