Bourbon and Barbecue: The Ultimate BFF Pair
Friday, January 8th, 2010There’s a television advertisement I remember from my youth: Two ranch hands are hanging out on the corral, snacking, when one of them, in an inept attempt to mount his steed, flips over the saddle and spills his treat. “My chocolate!” he laments, to which the other counters, “is in my peanut butter!” It’s not [...]
The KFC Double Down: This Is Why The Terrorists Hate Our Freedom
Friday, September 25th, 2009Some weeks ago, I was startled by a surging news item that I thought couldn’t possibly be real. There was this video — a YouTube video, in fact, and we all know how reliable those tend to be — that someone took of a television advertisement. It’s grainy and the sound is high-pitched and tinny, [...]
Hot Dog Day Afternoon
Friday, August 21st, 2009There must be something in the air. Or maybe the water. Whatever it is, we here at The Faster Times food section seem to have gone a little hot dog crazy lately. Take, for instance, Street Foods correspondent Sarah Karnasiewicz’s recent post about the Yankee Hot Dog Trail, in which she muses, “Looking back on [...]
The Brooklyn Pig Roast and Harvest Hoedown
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008This being Fall, the good people at Brooklyn Based thought it prudent to have a little party to celebrate the season — a little music, good drinks and company, and, naturally, a three hundred pound heritage pig roasted up low and slow. Isn’t Fall great? Granted, I don’t much need a season to warrant celebrating [...]
Today in Meat News
Thursday, October 30th, 2008This (almost) just in from the Associated Press: Spicy pork sausage found in ‘soiled diapers’ McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Customs inspectors scored the makings of a barbecue when a 21-year-old South Texas woman declared several soiled baby diapers at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing. Suspicious of the chunky diapers, inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection [...]
Bury me in Barbeque
Monday, July 14th, 2008So it seems I’m not the only dedicated carnivore out there writing and signing songs about my profound love of all things meaty and delicious. These guys do a hell of a job, but I do have to say that, in fact, some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had was in Perdido Key, Florida. [...]
I have an eponymous Feast!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008In order to celebrate the release of my meaty tome, the wonderful people at D’Artagnan are offering an amazing, limited-time offer on a package of their outstanding products. Yes, now you can purchase “The Shameless Carnivore Feast,” featuring: free range buffalo medallions; wild boar bacon; four venison chops; two veal chops Milanese; smoked duck magret; [...]
Birthday Pig
Friday, March 7th, 2008So it was my birthday not long ago, and what does a person with my, er…proclivities…do to celebrate? Barbecue, of course! I invited all my buddies and pals out to Williamsburg’s Fette Sau for some truly splendid bourbon, beer in mason jars, and, naturally, a truck-load of fine, house-smoked meat. There are a few things [...]
From the Carnivore Food Lab: The Scrapple McSquagel!
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Though my appetites are many and varied, I’m not particularly inventive when it comes to kitchen wizardry. Usually, when faced with having to cook for myself, I’ll go with old standbys rather than whip up something new and cool. It’s just so much easier to make a simple pasta or a turkey sandwich than risk [...]
The Mathematics of Meat
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Oh my stars, these are good days in the realm of carnivorism! In a story recently published by the New York Times, some eager (and hungry) mathematicians in England have come up with a formula for what they believe to be the perfect bacon sandwich. Let me say that again, just in case you breezed [...]
