I just discovered that I love food comic strips! Let's have more and more, please.

@Cathy: épatant = "splendid"? Indeed! Looks delicious.
@Lippy: Serious Eats is working with the Amateur Gourmet to bring you more and more of these. We love them. Adam is the caped crusader of cuisinocomics.

I, too, am I Chez Paul pot-au-fue first-timer - your post brings back wonderful memories and great hunger pangs!
I also share your pain re heat, as my Park Slope landlord is in reality a slumlord. Solution? Get thee to True Value hardware at 2nd Street and 7th Avenue. They have a cat-proof Bonaire portable electric heater for around $80.00 that will change your life!

Sacre bleu, Adam, c'est un splendide de comic strip, and can you tell we don't speak French? You can get marrow bones at Dean & Deluca uptown (85th St.) for only twice as much as they cost at the Stop n Shop in Kingston, New York (but that's still only $2.50/lb.) We LOVE this format for the mater Gourmet: food porn plus graphic novel, a killer app. Keep on doing it.

Out of the blue you just decided to make this? If you weren't taken, I'd convert for meals like that!

if you added the actual recipe and photographed every step, you'd have a great schtick for a cookbook. very funny!

This is the future. We are all doomed. I love it, absolutely love it!

I loved this! You seriously made me want to eat your pot au feu, even though I am a vegetarian. Hmmmm... je wonder if there is a veg version...

Adam,
Have you made this meal yet this year? You can also get marrow bones from Fresh Direct, but they won't be organic.
