The other week I got hit up by my friend Lydia to fuck with this pig butchering class Ryan Farr was putting on. There was a problem though, I was on call for work and didn’t want to throw down on this shit if I had to worry about getting paged and having to bounce after 5 minutes. Lydia ended up rolling to that shit on her own and then sent me photos, it looks like a champ ass class. I’m regretting not manning that shit and going. After I got her email I asked her if I could post it up on GroceryEats, she said yes and now you have an email from Lydia on the internets.

Charlies got some new shit
April 11, 2009 by SergDun
I went by Charlies’ Pharmacy this afternoon after breakfast in the mission and found out they got some new drinks. They got the “Gettin Sloppy,” “Whatchamacallit” and “Obama.” I didn’t get to try any of them though, I got 3 months left on this no drinking thing some dumbass doctor has me on because of a reaction to a test for a disease that I don’t give a fuck about. Anyways yeah if you’re in the Fillmore holler at that Gettin Sloppy, shit looks retarded. Click here for a larger photo

Buoyant Mammal Monger
March 24, 2009 by mattbrainsI knocked on wood prior to writing this.
A few weeks back I was fortunate enough to meet some native Alaskans living here in DC. After a full ‘Sunday Funday’ of watching basketball, drinking scotch, smoking cigars and talking about what I would do to Gov. Palin, I was fortunate enough to be invited to eat whale meat. Keep in mind, this was after several questions about what polar bears and seals taste like. Despite coming off as the most culturally insensitive prick out there, I really was hyped to learn more about the Alaskan way of life – especially the parts that involve eating sea mammals.
A date has just been set.
Due to the illegal nature of moving said meat from Alaska, I am excited for this opportunity. I didn’t want this post to be preemptive, but I’m really hyped about this shit… even though, I hear that it’s a traditional fare and ‘too fishy’ for the younger native population. It has become abundantly clear, this shit was utilized at one point for sustenance and plays no real role in the Alaskan diet today. I’m really excited to try it in the traditional ways – raw and/or poached.
My gears are turning overtime about the possibilities with this one… I’ll keep you posted.

So my friend EJ got a new roommate; as a result we decided to welcome Bloomillions to SF with a little gathering of food and drink. EJ’s initial plan was to run a taco bar but then I suggest we BBQ also. Read the rest of this entry »

Pork Chop and Apple Pie Sandwiches
March 10, 2009 by MF Grocery
Years ago when Sarah and I were dating I was invited to her Dad’s house for Christmas dinner. He and his 3rd or 4th wife (I forget) cooked a pork loin on their rotisserie way too long and that fucking thing was like eating sawdust. Luckily there was some applesauce on the table so I dipped a cut of my pork loin in there before every bite. I looked around and it seemed to catch on because nobody was saying shit except asking people to “pass the applesauce”.
So here I took the classic pork and apples to another level by making a sandwich using pan-seared, thin cut pork chops seasoned with salt, black pepper and minced rosemary- the buns consisted of assorted apple pastries.
Winter Pork Tenderloin
March 1, 2009 by mattbrainsThere’s something really comforting about hearty foods in the Winter. Last time I was at the farmer’s market I came across a really good deal on a whole pork loin from a regional farm. I decided to go all out and marinate the loin in Anchor Steam Christmas Ale that I had left over and some Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. I divided the loin in two and placed everything in a zip lock bag and put it in the fridge for 24 hours.
Bulgogi Burger
February 25, 2009 by MF GroceryWhen I was in Austin last month my dude Papi Babylon told me to hit up Burger Tex by the UT campus for a Korean bulgogi burger. Dude was on point with the other recommendations so we stopped by for a burger and happened to make history.
