Father's Day is right around the corner. Unfortunately I won't be able to go home to St. Louis to grill with my dad, but I wish I could. The past couple of weeks we've been asking local chefs about their traditions with their fathers and children to share some of the stories with you. Check out Chef Chris Clime's story below.
Executive Chef Chris Clime – PassionFishMy Fathers Day tradition with Dad is having Eggs Benedict and drinking ‘Half and Half’ Bloody Marys (1/2 Vodka, 1/2 Spicy Mary) – when I reached legal drinking age, of course. We cooked together when I was younger, and now, for the last 20 years tradition stands firm and now it is grandpa, my son and daughter, and me at the stove. Recently, I’ve been teaching my son how to cook... working on the one and only sauce- Hollandaise. I’ve learned that if you get that right you’re off to a good start.

Bloody Mary’s

3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
To taste Cracked Black Pepper
To taste Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Processed Horseradish
1 squeeze Sriracha Hot Sauce
1.5 ounces Vodka
4 ounces V-8 Juice
1 each Lime, sliced into wedges
Preparation
Rub one lime wedge around the rim of a 16-ounce glass, then place the rim into a pile of the Old Bay Seasoning.

Kid Friendly Hollandaise Sauce
Yields: 1.5 cups
Ingredients
4 each Egg yolks
2 sticks Butter, unsalted
1/2 each Lemon
4 dashes Tabasco
4 dashes Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons Hot water
To taste Salt
Procedure
Soften the 2 sticks of butter by placing into a microwave safe cup (with the wrappers on top) and microwaving on high for 2 minutes. Pull the butter out of the microwave, remove any milk solids that have formed on the top, and place back into the microwave. Heat again until the butter is almost boiling, then remove.
Put your egg yolks, lemon juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire, hot water, and salt into a blender. Puree the ingredients on high for one minute. After one minute, slowly pour in the hot clarified butter while continuing to puree all ingredients (not: the butter must still be hot so that it can help cook the eggs). Keep pureeing until all of the butter has been poured in and sauce has thickened slightly. Serve over eggs or any other breakfast favorite, and enjoy!
