Meat Seeds

I suppose much will be made of the fact that this idea was germinated in the first week of our plan to lose some weight around the Lawrence house, but if it all comes to pass, it'll be a thing well worth doing. The idea was predicated on a discussion between Brother Cale and I after reading this article about beefsteak events in New Jersey, sent to me by Mr. Brett Rooks. But the upshot is we're planning a trip -- no, not a trip, an odyssey -- to discover America's meat legacy. Not sure what that means at this hour, and I'm not sure what sort of timeline we're on, but we're going to do this, I think.

But not without your help (that being you, our audience of 6 readers, including Cale.)

Let's get your suggestions for the best places to meet meat in this Grade A US of A. Like, let's say you're from Colorado and recently moved to Chicago – where in Colorado should Cale and I go to get a steak? Or maybe you still live in MN? Besides Jax, and Murray's and Manny's where else should we go? How about the best spot for a meat raffle? Know a butcher? A stockyard worker? A great chef? A buffalo hunter? Let us know. Post to the comments or send us an email.

And then let's hit the road...the cow is calling.


UPDATE: Brett sends these additional links on the beefsteak phenomenon, both here and here.
