Veal Tongue Tacos

By brian | Published: September 1, 2011

It’s been a while, I know. I’ve been living a life. Or burning one down. Or stumbling on the head of those two opposing excuses, really. This is the 4th year I won’t be going to Burning Man. It’s crazy, I’ve been not going almost half as many years as I attended. And what’s crazier, [...]

The Season of the Goat: Farm to Table Goat & The Joy of Open Pit, Whole Beast BBQ

By brian | Published: July 20, 2011

Earlier this season I put a fire pit in my back yard. Actually, that was the first thing I put in my backyard. A firepit, surrounded by dirt on all sides. Eventually we got around to putting in some grass and some stone work to gussy it up a bit, but the first effort was [...]

Stone Gets Your Goat Tuesday June 21 @ 7p

By brian | Published: June 16, 2011

The Summer Solstice is making its way across our eliptical paths and any self-respecting evil doer will want to celebrate this passage by indulging themselves in the ritual slaying and consuming of a horned goat on this, our longest day of the year. And who better to provide that little spoon full of sugar for [...]

Render Me Some Lard, Bubba!

By brian | Published: May 4, 2011

I got this goofy new puppy the other day and everything I’m reading insists that she’s gonna love some bacon and cottage cheese in her food. Clearly a girl after my own heart. I had a good amount of back fat just sitting pretty in my freezer so I thought I’d render my fluffy lady [...]

Great Vienna Sausage Recipe

By brian | Published: May 3, 2011

I’ve been experimenting with a bunch of different sausages. My favorite as of late are these Vienna sausages. Tender and plenty juicy and flavorful, when you put these on the grill and crisp up the natural casings they have that mandatory snap that you want in any good sausage, especially a Vienna. Here’s the recipe: [...]

Hit a Local Chicago Butcher and Let The Grilling Begin

By matt | Published: March 20, 2011

As I walked out of work last Wednesday I felt something that I wasn’t sure I would ever feel again, something so entirely foreign and pleasant I was certain I was hallucinating. It was warmth. Where I would usually rush manically, head down and cursing, to my car. I now crossed in a slow walk, [...]

Make Your Own Dumb Brats & Watch the Bears Stomp ‘Sconny

By brian | Published: January 19, 2011

I got news yesterday that I’m going to the Bears game on Sunday with my pops. Aside from this being pretty freaking sweet in the immediate heat of the moment, it’s also kind of a lovely, heart-warming story, too. You see, in 1986, when the Bears last won the Super Bowl, and I was just [...]
