    Tofu dusted with cornstarch then fried, and tossed in any sauce you want is the best. I would never do that with this beautiful artisan product he made, but for the grocery store stuff it's great.

    One's ability as a chef is only limited by their ability to taste, their ability to sense. So if homie is taste testing water filter varieties he's probably pretty good.
