Why every man needs a butcher
Dude Pins stashed this in articles
Please do this:
1) Go to the SPECIFIC PAGE that you want to link to, like this:
http://dudepins.com/index.php?option=com_socialpinboard&view=pin&pinid=5518
2) Click the panda icon or Stash it! button from there, NOT from the front page of your site
You'll get much better results, I promise!
Well, and even the Dudepins page doesn't have a link, just the image.
The image isn't interesting. It's kind of wtf.
The link, however, is quite interesting. It's a GQ article from 2009 on why it's good to get to know your butcher, and things to keep in mind as you step up to the counter: http://www.gq.com/how-to/eat-and-drink/200910/why-every-man-needs-a-butcher-oliver-strand-buying-meat
The point of the article is that if you don't know a lot about meat, a good butcher will want to teach you:
"After some basic questions (budget, ambitions, skills), the butcher gave us a short tutorial, steering us away from bland tenderloins to more flavorful New York strips. Then he explained how to sear the meat, how to let it rest. He gave us a bag of coarse salt mixed with cracked pepper. As he spoke, he jotted the instructions down on a piece of paper, and when he handed us our steaks, he told us to come back and tell him how it went."
like a good jeweler, too...
