It was love at first sight when I saw Justin on the first episode of Food Network Star. He's a mad food genius. I made it just like he did on his pilot and not with all of the extra ingredients that this recipe includes. I used 2 packs gelatin, 3 cups chicken stock (1 cup cold, 2 cups hot, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 3 tbs Worcestershire sauce, 3 tbs minced garlic, 2 tbs fresh chopped parsley, 1 tbs lemon juice, and a dash of red chili flakes. It was delicious--like Justin! I can't wait for his show. I'm going to watch every single episode. I just hope it's on the weekend or late in evening on weekdays, so I won't miss it at school.

I was so intrigued that I just HAD to make it! I wasn't sure if the family would dig in...... But they LOVED IT!!!!!!! Even my 10yr old thought it was incredible and fun! Now I just need to get more romaine. : congratulations to Justin! My favorite from the beginning!

This is, hands-down, the best salad I've eaten in a long, long time. I enjoy salads. However, lately all of the "new" salad recipes have tasted more like dessert--and while sweet salads with fruits and drizzles have their place, I prefer a more savory salad for dinner meals. Leave it to Justin to determine the lettuce should be fiery hot and the dressing should be a chilled gelatin. I doubt I would have attempted such a dish if he hadn't made it seem so easy--and so mouth-watering. It turns out it was simple--though I did use the shortcut with the rotisserie chicken! What a wonderful new "hot" meal using fresh, healthy foods. Hey Food Network! This recipe is a keeper--and I hope Justin will be, too!

I tried this and unfortunately it's a no go. I guess a warm salad is just not a salad to me. His technique, personality and attitude is just not what I would turn in to watch. After watching him walk away as Alton was explaining things was just plain rude and showed to much immaturity for me. I do wish him luck in the challenge.

This tasted great! I cut the recipe in half and we only used half the aspic--so it definitely would serve more. I still used the 8 x 8" pan and had only made it a couple hours ahead so it melted better. (thanks to the other review. It would be a great make ahead meal & a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I don't make a lot of reviews for most of the recipes; however, I realy enjoy Justin's creativity, and would love to see him on a show and learn how he thinks outside of the box. I haven't tried this recipe but would like to try it when I make Alton Brown recipe's - homemade chicken stock.

Tried this because it was such a fun idea! It turns out that it is a great make ahead meal. I made it one day, and all I had to do the next day for dinner was grill the romaine. Delicious healthy meal! Bread soaks up the dressing and is yummy too! I agree with other posts that it could easily feed 8-10 with more romaine. Next time I will try pouring the aspic in an 8x13" pan so it is thinner and melts more quickly on the lettuce. I'd love to see more ideas like this from Justin!

I have never made an aspic so, I just had to try it! The kids and I loved it but next time, I will not add the chicken to the aspic, the salad was a side dish and it really didn't need the chicken. Also, instead of cubes, I will chilled the aspic in a shallow pan and use cookie cutters for fun shapes. I do not know how that will work but, I will make this again. Justin made me want to try new food and I wasn't affraid. Thanks Justin! I really hope I get to watch your show on Food Network.

Love Justin's ideas and would definitely watch his shows. My daughter and I made this following the recipe as is. The recipe reads to add pulled chicken to the broth mixture, but it doesn't say how much. I think we added too much in the end as our "dressing" didn't quite melt like Justin's. That could also be due to part that we used the 2 x 2 inch squares the recipe calls for as well. The recipe really makes way more than just four servings. I think it easily serves 8 to 10. Not really sure how they figured out the total time as 7 hours when the recipe calls for simmering the stock for 6 and chilling the aspic for at least 8. I think I had more issues with the way the recipe reads than with the actual recipe itself.
