Sam Choy's in the Kitchen: Cooking with Dillon Pakele

Yahoo02-06-2025

In this episode of Sam Choy's in the Kitchen, Sam and John visit the home of local singer and songwriter Dillon Pakele. As is tradition, Sam checks the fridge and pantry to see what ingredients are available. He discovers a mix of fresh fruits, as well as steaks, sausage, ahi and shrimp.
The first dish of the day is a fruit marmalade, made using cantaloupe, honeydew, and pineapple. The fruits are cooked down with sugar, lemon juice, and Clos Du Bois chardonnay to create a vibrant and flavorful topping that highlights the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
For the second dish, Sam pan-fries steak and sausage, cooking each to a perfect sear. Once plated, the fruit marmalade is spooned over the meat, offering a contrast of savory and sweet that elevates the overall flavor profile of the dish.
Next, they prepare a simple yet classic salt and pepper shrimp. The shrimp is semi-peeled and seasoned generously and fried until golden and crisp, resulting in a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying, with minimal ingredients and maximum impact. The left over shells create a crunchy texture to add to the crispy shrimp.
Finally, the trio creates a seared ahi dish. They season both sides of the ahi with the Pakele house seasoning salt and pan fry it to perfection. Depending on how you cut the ahi, you can have poke or sashimi. It's topped off with crispy chili oil and served over a bed of sprouts.
After eating, Dillon shares a song that he wrote entitled Love With Me which he released on Valentines Day.

Brian Wilson, Beach Boys visionary leader, dies at 82

Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys' visionary and fragile leader whose genius for melody, arrangements and wide-eyed self-expression inspired 'Good Vibrations,' 'California Girls' and other summertime anthems and made him one of the world's most influential recording artists, has died at 82. Wilson's family posted news of his death to his website and social media accounts Wednesday. Further details weren't immediately available. The eldest and last surviving of three musical brothers — Brian played bass, Carl lead guitar and Dennis drums — he and his fellow Beach Boys rose in the 1960s from local California band to national hitmakers to international ambassadors of surf and sun. Wilson himself was celebrated for his gifts and pitied for his demons. He was one of rock's great romantics, a tormented man who in his peak years embarked on an ever-steeper path to aural perfection, the one true sound. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
