At age twenty, I left for Club Pierre, a swanky new restaurant opened by the rich New Yorker Francine Farkas, whose husband owned Alexander’s department store.
You'll stay much more clean and sane that way. At first, I was the dishwasher, washing every plate by hand. The next summer, I graduated to putting tomato and lettuce on the plates, and I made tuna fish sandwiches at lunch. The following year, I was full-on in the kitchen—cooking steaks and burgers and starting to realize I have a pretty good touch, even with this simple food. I just instinctively knew when to flip the steaks, when to turn the heat down. That year, 1976, I decided to stay out in the Hamptons year round instead of going back to attend school and live in Queens.

Toss the onion rings in the rice flour until they are evenly coated with no clumps of rice flour. As I discovered cooking—both the art of it and the simple fact of it as a job that earned me money—my life changed. The sparks that ignited America’s food revolution were just starting to catch in places like San Francisco and New York. I wasn’t there yet, but I knew that I enjoyed the act of feeding guests and didn’t mind the long hours. After work, we’d sometimes trek into the city, and I’d find myself at Manhattan’s big-time nightclubs (disco!) until the wee hours.
In his debut cookbook, Tesar, who runs various Dallas restaurants, cuts right to the chase, beginning with steak prepared with a straightforward method he calls “back to the pan.” That pan should be ... The book starts with a brief history of how Tesar found his way to the Texas steakhouse restaurant business, it's a fascinating insight. It was also during this time that I had my first steak.

Every Christmas Eve was the Feast of the Seven Fishes—squid, clams, fried flounder, fluke, every type of fish known to man. On the weekends at our house in the Hamptons, we would always have guests. You’d wake up, and there’d be ten people at the breakfast table, with my mother scrambling eggs and frying bacon for a small army. Every once in a while, I’d be asked to make eggs Benedict because I had shown an interest in the kitchen.
It was these customers and their lively, intellectual conversation that caused me to fall in love with the romance of the restaurant business. The guests were the most interesting people I could ever imagine. Two friends from the beach were both cooks at this celebrated local joint, Magic’s Pub, and lived in the apartment above it. They got me a job as dishwasher, the beginning of my restaurant career. To Josh Ozersky, the world’s greatest carnivore, who taught me so much and inspired my cooking with his enthusiasm and passion.

My dad was more like someone you’d see in one of those Martin Scorsese period pieces. He was a small-time banker working in Queens and never made more than $50,000 a year. Though my father wasn’t Italian, several of his clients were in the mob, and they always treated him really well. Sometimes he’d come home with twenty pounds of meat they’d given him, or cheese and olive oil, caviar and booze—stuff we couldn’t afford.

In a large bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups dry mix with the sparkling water. The batter should have the consistency of a crêpe batter or vegetable oil. Sift or whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Remove the rings to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt.
I graduated high school early at seventeen and moved in with the guys from Magic’s. This time of my life still glows in my memory—working, cooking, listening to music, surfing. If you're going to deep fry something, I always recommend temper as the batter. It's one of the million millions of things about foods that the Japanese have nailed.

It's crisp, light, and greaseless – the perfect batter. We use it as a secondary layer to really create a great coating for our avocado fries and our onion rings. You can make this dried mixture and keep it fresh in the freezer or fridge, and as long as it stays dry, it keeps forever. You can use seltzer, club soda, or mineral water like San Pellegrino for the batter. If you use club soda or mineral water, you may want to cut back on the salt a little. Today, you think of some guy in a Brooks Brothers suit climbing out of a black car on Wall Street, but it wasn’t like that.
