Pork Chops Bada Bing

 Serves 4

 Prep Time 25 minutes

 The culinary influence for pork chops Bada Bing draws its inspiration from the far East rather than New Jersey by way of Napoli as the name might suggest. During a lazy Sunday afternoon I was watching a Soprano’s marathon on television. This dish earned its name after the Bada Bing strip club where Tony and his crew hang. By the way, pork chops Bada Bing tastes even better the second day so if you don’t finish them just throw them in the refrigerator and “fuggetaboutit”.~

 1/4 cup ketchup * 1 tsp chopped garlic * 2 tsp soy sauce * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tsp Chinese chili paste * 1/4 cup olive oil * 1 shallot * 1/4 cup brown sugar * 1 tbsp orange marmalade * 1/4 cup pineapple * 4 boneless pork chops.

Combine all ingredients together in a quart size resealable bag. Place in the refrigerator until ready to cook. They can be marinated overnight if desired. Preheat the grill or if you don’t have a grill you can use the broiler in your oven.  Remove pork loins from the bag and place on grill/broiler. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, slice into one to make sure it’s done or use a meat thermometer. Garnish with papaya and paprika.

In The Modern Gentleman; Cooking and Entertaining with Sean Kanan, author, actor, producer and self taught chef Sean Kanan offers expert field-tested instruction on how any guy can become a refined and knowledgeable chef. Sean is witty, funny and, most importantly tells it like it is as he likens the art of cooking and entertaining to that of staging a play by throwing back the curtain and revealing the elements that make up a successful dining production, all the while never compromising what it means to be a guy’s guy. Sean offers sage advice like “It’s not the size of the theater, it’s the talent on the stage” and dating tips such as how to avoid getting slammed into the dreaded “friend box.” “Let’s face it. In today’s confusing social landscape

littered with mixed signals, guys are understandably confused and frustrated. Are we supposed to be Mr. Sensitive guy good listener, or the Alpha male, or somewhere in between? If you don’t know the answer, then buy this book.” The Modern Gentleman; Cooking and Entertaining with Sean Kanan isn’t just another collection of recipes it’s a movement whose time has come. While the female population has long relied on teachers like Oprah, Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray, the male population has been largely ignored and overlooked until now.

The Modern Gentleman doesn’t just speak to men. Women will be fascinated to gain insider information about how guys think. Remember ladies, knowledge is power. This is a book written by a man for other men so that they may realize and understand how to better treat the women in their lives. It is a also a book that many women will give to the men in their lives with the hope of discovering the gentlemen that they are capable of becoming.

Sean goes beyond the recipes, offering intriguing stories of their origins as well as suggesting clever ideas to serve them in world class ambiance under your own roof. He offers practical advice on assembling a kitchen on any budget and many other entertaining useful tidbits. In the beginning Sean intended for this book to be a stylish men’s cook book, however after he started writing beyond the basic recipes, he realized that he was filling a gap for men who have long been ignored.

 “…I began addressing issues about the lost art of conducting oneself like a gentleman.” Sean finds a correlation between the lack of instruction for “gentlemanly” behavior as a possible cause of increasing bullying behavior which led him to become a volunteer for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Sean recently traveled to Washington, D.C. with the ADL’s Glass Leadership Program to encourage Congress to help create Anti-Bullying Legislation.

 “I have appeared on numerous talk shows and given scores of interviews about the destructive and scarring effects of bullying that until recently, many people dismissed as an unfortunate rite of passage…It wasn’t until I had written dozens of pages that I realized The Modern Gentleman carried the potential to deliver a message and hopefully inspire a new generation. I had been searching for a way that I could unite the work I do with bullying and the essence of this book. It wasn’t until my beautiful Michele pointed out the obvious to me as she so often does. It was right there before my eyes but I couldn’t see it.”
