Chicken heads

a chickens head and feet

I’ve been getting chicken down the street at Alliance Poultry, where they let you pick out which live chicken you want to eat.

And they give you the feet and liver and heart and all the things I know what to do with — make a stock.

But what do you do with a chicken head?

More on Alliance soon.

The Burger Wars

Today, Time Out Chicago and Chicago Burger Project are hashing out who’s better at reviewing the best burger.

Chicago Burger Project’s TKO punch:

We took our time, took some pictures, and elaborated beyond “perfectly delicious” in our reviews. Childish? Maybe. More responsible than recommending Jury’s for the 10,000th time? I think so.

Sorry, TOC. There’s a new burger king.

Pops shot a deer and butchered in his friend’s garage and I ate it up.

I had all this elderberry syrup I bought a church social and decided to marinate it in that. Jammed that roast full of cloves and garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it roll around for a while in the purple soupy mess.

A terrible idea.

Maybe it works with partridge or grouse, but the elderberries only up the gamey taste of the meat. I’d heard that in Norway grouse will spend most of their lives eating elderberries and colors the flavor of the meat. This is not Norway and I’m sticking to venison sausage from here on out.

Questionable intro aside, this video does a nice job of showing the inner workings of one of the few producers of prosciutto in the US. Via The Food Chain
