Parents cook son's farewell meal from @seattlehanddoc

A couple collaboratively cooks a multi-part meal for their son who is leaving for college. They show the entire process, starting with seasoning and searing short ribs, preparing a braising liquid with vegetables and wine, and then braising the meat. Concurrently, they prepare garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccolini, detailing each step. Finally, they make a gravy from the braising liquid, plate the complete meal, and taste it with satisfaction.
