Offal Good

PETAS faux gras stunt

This is a great video from Anthony Bourdain and No Reservations.

Again PETA is throwing money at the wrong thing offering someone the grand prize of $10,000 and their name for ever tied to this abomination vegetarian faux gras.  Don’t get me wrong i love vegetables, but this is just to much. I have attached the rules and regulations to the contest, seeing as its such a great opportunity to stop such a tasty historical food from existing.  So stay the fuck out of my stomach. Don’t worry folks the poor bastard who puts their name on this Faux Gras will go down in infamy.

Amuse Cochon Recap

What a great event give 5 chefs each a different breed of pig and see what they come up with. This was so much fun to be given a breed of pig I had never worked with before the mangalista. A crazy wooly pig with a ton of fat, and lots of flavor. One of the highlights of the event for me was to spend some time with a true master of pork Mr. Allen Benton, who was not only super fun but a true believer of educating the next generation of the proper use of the magical animal the pig.
