What We Talk About When We Talk About Chili

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Scenes like this unfold regularly on stage and screen, usually in hospital or police dramas.  Someone in an official uniform, a handsome but somber-faced physician or a dutiful detective, has been tasked with issuing news that no family member ever wants to hear: There has been a horrible tragedy, and nothing will be the same [...]

The New Orleans Po-Boy Festival: A Rich Day for a Poor Boy

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Over the years, I’ve been implored by a number of earnest do-gooders to become part of their organizations, to join hands, fight the good fight and help make the world a better place.  Save Lake Pontchartrain.  Save the Wales.  Ban the Nukes.  Nuke the Wales.  Pave Lake Pontchartrain.  And so on.  But never before has [...]

Happy Turkey (Stuffed With Duck, Stuffed With Chicken) Day!

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

  It probably wouldn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday of all holidays.  It’s been that way for years.  There are numerous reasons for this: First, there’s not having to wear a tie and drag oneself to religious services.  In fact, there’s no religious obligation at all, [...]

Playing With Your Meat: The Lamb Merguez Cupcake

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Every summer since I was a toddler, my family has spent a week at the beach.  Though the location has changed over the years — Destin and Perdido Key, Florida; Gulf Shores, Alabama — it’s always been on the beautiful Gulf Coast, with sand as white and fine as confectioner’s sugar, brown pelicans skimming over [...]

Max’s Maverick Moose Loaf

Monday, March 9th, 2009

This is Max: Aside from being a total rock star and one of the coolest people I know (especially when he’s in his Batman getup), Max is the four-year-old son of my friends Emily and Greg, who are also kind of unfairly cool.  It obviously runs in the family.  So here’s the story: Last Fall, [...]

Rockin’ the Dog: The Great Hot Dog Cook-off

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

So, this past weekend I decided to try my hand at competitive chef-ery, cooking up a MONSTER dog for the 3rd Annual Great Hot Dog Cook-off.  It was a hell of a time, and I must admit, there were some intimidatingly inventive takes on this American classic, ranging from Oaxacan mole dogs to Thanksgiving dogs [...]

Yes, now you can purchase “The Shameless Carnivore Feast,” featuring: free range buffalo medallions; wild boar bacon; four venison chops; two veal chops Milanese; smoked duck magret; [...]

Popcorn Popper-fried Squirrel (?!?!?!)

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Speaking of American animals in the order rodentia, I couldn’t help but post this nice video of Governor Mike Huckabee, in which he discusses the intricacies of frying up squirrels in a popcorn popper during his lean college years. Now, I can’t admit that, politically, I truly heart Huckabee, mostly because of that “not believing [...]

Save the Planet: Eat a Kangaroo

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Here’s something you won’t often hear me say: Greenpeace has a really, really good idea. Oh yeah, I said it. But unlike their basically useless attempts at disrupting evil corporations from, say, clubbing a bunch of baby seals and then dumping crude oil over their little patch of ocean for good measure, one of their [...]

‘Tis The Season (Shot): TSC’s Official Holiday Gift Guide

Happy Holidays, friends! The festive lights have gone up in Chez Carnivore, and the game is thawing for the holiday feast (a big post with lots of juicy photos to follow). It just wouldn’t be an adequate holiday without roasting up some succulent winter animals, don’t you think? I can barely wait for the meaty [...]
