We almost forgot that the lovely Southern California town of Riverside is holding it’s Restaurant Week until June 30th. Restaurant Week is an annual event where downtown Riverside Restaurants offer special menu items in order to showcase their food to the community.

Black Truffle, a foodie’s favorite drug
Within the last decade, the restaurant and food industry has gained in popularity like never before. Now Chefs are viewed in the same light as Rock Star Celebrities, and with celebrity comes all the craziness. In this case the mayhem is being caused by a famous fungi known simply as “truffle.”
Truffles are becoming scarcer due to climate change and higher demand. This has increased the price of truffles to all time highs, making them part of an underground foodie black market. People are robbing, intimidating, punking, thugging, and doing whatever to get their hands on this prized fungi…
The Truffle Game is CRAZY Ya’ll! Wish I could afford some French Truffles for cooking. Oh well…

I realize I have only posted one food post since starting this blog, so after seeing this video I was inspired to post my version of New York’s Chopped Cheese.
My delicious recipe is below. You may notice that I do not give exact measurements. My goal is to force you to use common sense and “trial and error” in order to create the perfect recipe to your liking. You decide how much or how little of each ingredient you would like to use.
Spicy Ginger Cream Cheese Spread
Cream Cheese, softened
Minced Jalapenos
Minced Pickled Ginger/Gari Shoga
Pepper
If you want the cream cheese to be spicier after you taste it, then add more Jalapenos. It’s all up to you.
You may want to leave the cream cheese out of your fridge to allow it to soften, this will make mixing so much smoother.
Garlic Bread/Toast
French Bread or Texas Toast
Unsalted Butter
Minced Garlic
Salt to taste
Chorizo Ground Beef
Beef or Pork Chorizo
Ground Beef of Your Choice
Salt and Pepper
Suggested Condiments
Bacon
Sunny Side Egg
Cheese Slices, Cheese of your Choice
Tomato Slices
Avocado Slices
Shredded Lettuce
Caramelized/Grilled Onions
Pickled Vegetables
Barbecue Sauce
Mayonaise
Mustard
Combine all of the above ingredients in any way you like to create your sandwich.
If you want your sliced cheese melted:
I like to serve these delicious sandwiches with a side of French Fries, but of course you can create any sides you want.
Our Final Product:
Enjoy!

One of the dopest recipes for wings ever. No Wing Stop, no chain Restaurant recipes, just Professional Culinary goodness.
WING SAUCE RECIPE #1: Gingered Teriyaki
Ingredients:
I will update this recipe with instructions later. I usually do not give amounts for ingredients because I myself rarely use exact measurements for cooking. One rule you learn as a cook is to adjust flavors as you go along. If the sauce isn’t sweet enough, add more sugar. If you want a stronger onion flavor, add more onion, and so on and so forth. For now, study the ingredients and become familiar with the flavors. You won’t learn how to cook without recipes, and therefore become a better cook yourself, if you don’t study the flavors of your ingredients. Any well-experienced Chef can look at the above ingredients and immediately figure out how to make this sauce with no instructions or measurements. I will keep this wing recipe and others here: https://freshcliniclife.com/food/recipes/wings/ as I update them.
Stay Tuned for a future post on an Update for this Recipe!
I received some brand new business cards in the mail today to make it easier for me to exchange contact information when I am talking to other business people, professionals, employers, or potential customers. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have business cards in order to make yourself standout and look professional in this rough economy. It surprises me when I meet other young business people such as myself who are looking for employment and/or call themselves professionals, yet they do not have a simple business card. How do you expect to compete among the countless other Business School graduates in this country and around the world without this simple and easy to make tool. In fact, it doesn’t matter what you studied in college or what professional field you are working in, YOU NEED BUSINESS CARDS…PERIOD! So I am suggesting that if you do not have business cards, make some!
This Thursday, Downtown Riverside, California will be turned into ONE BIG FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA! A recently opened Boutique, BOTC (Back of the Closet) Boutique, will be hosting a Fashion event, “Fashion’s Night Out,” that is sure to please the fashionista in all of us. As a San Bernardino, CA resident, I have never heard of or seen any event like this in the Inland Empire of Southern California…NEVER! Many Boutiques and Vintage shops have come and gone through Redlands and Riverside, but with the initiative the store owners are taking to put together an event like this, it seems this boutique will stand the test of time.
There will be a RUNWAY SHOW, PERFORMANCES (K’SANDRA), DJ (DJ RUDEBOY), SHOPPING, FOOD, BAR, CELEBS, STYLISTS/DESIGNERS (MR. BRADSHAW, JESSIE J, LOR-E), THE WHOLE NINE. This event will take place at the Crescent Jewell Restaurant, 3597 Main Street, Riverside, CA 92501, running from 8PM-1AM. I’m super excited about this event, and encourage anyone who lives in the Southern California Area to attend. You won’t be disappointed. THIS IS A 21 AND OLDER EVENT!
