Serious Eats: dansch's Profile

Learning how to butcher a pig a couple of years ago at [location redacted disclosed due to lack of USDA certification] with the farmer who raised the delicious Tamworth hog. And then cooking, curing, and generally savoring every bit of that delicious pig.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Boneless Heritage Ham

Exactly what I had this morning: ham and homemade apple/golden raisin chutney on fresh biscuits. The sweetness (apples and raisins), acid (cider vinegar), and tang (onions, chili flake, mustard seed) are the perfect foil for salty delicious ham.

Of course, this morning it was Kite's Ham from Wolftown, VA... next time I'd like it to be from D'Artagnan.

Chicago's Spacca Napoli: Good But Not Great

I agree that Spacca Napoli doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it (or the line to get a table). Did you try Coal Fire at Ogden and Grand? Phenomenal stuff and a welcome departure from the stuff that Chicagoans call pizza. Crispy char on the outside, good chew on the inside, light application of quality cheese, simple but great toppings. Really good stuff.

Every time I had Mom's BBQ pork chops with fried potatoes, but didn't appreciate it :) I've never had anything like it since then! I didn't know what a good thing I had :)

Yum! A delicious ham sandwich sounds so tempting right now! In my opinion, the best sandwich has a generous slice of great-quality ham between 2 slices of really good bread. Adding cheese, mayo, mustard or lettuce is just a matter of what's in the fridge and the diner's mood.
