Hot Dog of the Week: Rolf's Pork Store in Albany, NY
I first heard of Rolf's—an amazing German deli, butcher, and sausage shop in Albany, New York—while reading up on the history of mini hot dogs in nearby Troy, and made sure to stop by the next time I was in the hood. Just last week dmcavanagh also mentioned that Rolf's makes a fine Ring Bologna which got me thinking—it was about time to start drawing weisswurst and cartoon pigs.Butchery Demo: Dickson's Farmstand Meats
More and more meat purveyors are offering seminars where you can watch beef butchering in action. It makes sense—they're going to be carving regardless, so why not let us watch? Plus, it's a pretty weird way to spend an afternoon. We recently went to a butchery demo at Dickson's Farmstand Meats in Manhattan with owner Jake Dickson and butcher Adam Tiberio.On TV Tonight: 'Nightline' Takes a Look at Rockstar Butchers
Barring breaking news or or a random programming change, Nightline will highlight the whole "rockstar butcher" phenomenon. Says The-Feedbag blog's Josh Ozersky, "Let's face it, there's something very erotic about about seeing whole animal carcasses cut up." 11:35 p.m. ET, ABC...Video: The Dog and the Butcher
If you like animations and sausage, you'll love this video. It's the classic story of dog and hanging meat products—dog attempts to eat scrappy dog food for about a second before going after nearby sausage ropes. The adorable two-minute animated short, after the jump....Money-Saving Tips from 'Confessions of a Butcher'
Get Rich Slowly reviews Confessions of a Butcher, which sounds like a great book to consult if you want to save money on grocery bills. It's packed with insider info: "In a blue-collar meat and potatoes kind of neighborhood, lamb is not a regular part of the diet, but the local supermarket still has to carry a lamb lineup. In these types of stores, you may find legs of lamb and the like reduced to sell."...Noise Complaint Charges Dropped Against Singing Butcher of London
BBC News Charges have been dropped against Brian Clapton, an East London butcher whose early morning singing and meat-chopping prompted complaints from the tenant in the apartment above Clapton's shop. As Clapton tells BBC News: "I'll continue to sing and carry out my business. I can get by in the credit crunch." In response to the news, BBC Radio 6 Music will be playing a block of meat- and butcher-related songs at 6 p.m. London time, which is about an hour from now. So far, listeners have suggested "Start Chopping" by Dinosaur Jr., "Meathook," by the Cure, and "Sing for Your Meat" by Guided by Voices....Whole Foods Butchers Train for 1,920 Hours First
According to the Bellevue Reporter, Whole Foods requires each staff butcher to complete a 1,920-hour training process, which lasts about two years. They start with clean-up duties, then the counter, then cutting duties, which starts with poultry, then pork, and finally beef. Talk about a meat doctorate.

A year and a half ago, Mike Sula of the Chicago Reader embarked on a project. The Whole Hog Project would follow three mulefoot pigs (Edna, Erma, and Endive) from birth (on a Wisconsin farm) to death (at a slaughterhouse) to an afterlife (at Chicago's Blackbird restaurant). The hairy oinkers, known for having uncloven hooves like mules, would be spotlighted in a fancy six-course dinner. "I've never seen my food walking around before," his friend and and videographer throughout the project, Mike Gebert of Sky Full of Bacon, admitted. Why were they putting themselves through this? Mulefoot pigs are an endangered American breed that, two years ago, only had 200 to their name. While eating an endangered animal seems...Meatastic Children's Book Illustration
Illustration for a child's book, "Peter and the Moon" Story and Pictures (32 in color) by Jan Balet—not yet published. November 1946 Paul Lukas, of Uni Watch fame forwarded this awesome illustration to me. (Best children's book illustration ever? Quite possibly," he says.) He in turn got it from a friend. It appears to be from some sort of 1946 promo of a book yet to be published at the time. I can't find any mention on the web of Peter and the Moon in connection to Jan Balet, so who's to say if it ever appeared on shelves—or is so far out of print that it doesn't appear online. Balet appears to have hit his stride in the...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
