Dub and Grub

Last night's Dub Taco dinner went swimmingly. We worked it out with some tender, slow roasted carnitas, homemade tortillas and chips, 4 spicy salsas, beans, rice, the whole nine yards! I've been having a blast here in NYC and as I start turning the helm west, a night like last night reminds me of how lucky I am to be doing this work.

As I prepare to head down to the Carolina Meat Conference next week, I've been introducing Butcher's Guild charter members over on the BG Bulletin. Head over and meet the faces that are changing the meat world!

Also, as announced last week, the bacon train is making its way back to Portland! Get in on the action by picking up a slab, or five. This is a great chance for those not lucky enough to be in the bacon club to try these slabs of meaty gold! I did a winter version back around the holidays and now I am coming back with 5 new spring flavors. At just $30/slab or all five for $125, orders for BCN/PDX Spring Slabs and Slices can be placed until March 31st. Slabs will be ready to cheer you up on that dreaded day, Friday, April 15th. Pay Ceasar and then make the best salad ever, or try one of the other recipes included in your order!
