We are back and ready to go! We got hammered tonight when it was supposed to be "slow" and in the end we were still talking about our next charcuterie moves, still excited. Coppa is curing, pepperoni is next, two monster bellies just came out for our dry box cure to smoke for bacon, 2 more waiting to hit the southern style bacon brine, 2 hams begging for a smoked salt rub. Paper thin guanciale over barley risotto, after all it is their main feed at the farm. It's not just me dreaming this stuff up, it's the cooks and servers, yes servers too, who had that experience and then make suggestions that I run with. I hate corporate B.S. but this was the best team building exercise we have ever done.chris windushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920306481122010550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765311868388669454.post-22771657398931171092010-04-17T15:31:15.314-04:002010-04-17T15:31:15.314-04:00Geez luckies.

Definitely inspired me to get some of my kitchen guys to go to check out what the local guys are doing here in Colorado. There are plenty of farms producing high quality stuff. Thanks for motivating me to kick these yahoos in the keester and see what is outside of the four walls in the kitchen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765311868388669454.post-88939153147891983252010-04-17T12:35:16.624-04:002010-04-17T12:35:16.624-04:00Looks like I missed a good time!

It's a crucial part of the process that a lot of people don't get to experience in a way that Torm can provide. When's the next trip?aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717234276944938124noreply@blogger.com
