A tasty interview on ye olde radioe.
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008I was back on the wonderful “wireless” last week, this time on the great Tampa Tribune podcast known as “Table Conversations” with food writer Jeff Houck (you can also find his blog, “The Stew” here). It was a fun, lively interview: we discussed everything from carnivorous ethics to the fine art of eating Rocky Mountain [...]

A PRO foie gras protest?
Monday, March 17th, 2008Noticing that vegetarians, vegans and the PETA ilk have mostly cornered the market on food-related protesting, the wonderful people at D’Artagnan felt that proud carnivores could stand to be pro-active and vocal in supporting our cause. And what carnivorous cause needs the most support these days? Foie gras, of course! As you might be aware, [...]

Popcorn Popper-fried Squirrel (?!?!?!)
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Speaking of American animals in the order rodentia, I couldn’t help but post this nice video of Governor Mike Huckabee, in which he discusses the intricacies of frying up squirrels in a popcorn popper during his lean college years. Now, I can’t admit that, politically, I truly heart Huckabee, mostly because of that “not believing [...]
In which I eat the Morning Zoo
Saturday, March 8th, 2008So if you happened to be in Chicago last Monday, and you happened to be listening to the radio at about 8:40 am CST, and the radio station to which you were tuned happened to be Q101.1 (Chicago’s Alternative!), you would have heard a sweet little interview between Alan and Jim of The Morning Fix [...]
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 [...]

The time has finally come, friends, after two years of writing and research (including eating dishes from llama to bull pizzle and everything in between), to celebrate the release of THE SHAMELESS CARNIVORE: A Manifesto for Meat Lovers. Can I get an [...]
The Westland/Hallmark Beef Recall: A Carnivore’s Thoughts
Thursday, March 6th, 2008For several days the week of February 19th, the images were seemingly unavoidable: sick cattle on the slaughterhouse floor so weak they could hardly stand – and in some cases collapsed on the ground, bellowing uselessly for help as workers prodded them with forklifts in a last ditch effort to ensure that the animals might [...]
