The maestro of carnivore porn


From : The Globe and Mail



Taking no prisoners, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain offers a meaty look at restaurant culture.


When the Black Hoof – a restaurant specializing in charcuterie – first opened its doors in Toronto a couple of years ago, I ended up there one night with a bunch of kids in their early 20s. They were hip. They were cool. They knew how to work the no-rez system and had strong opinions about the off-cuts scrawled on the blackboard. They were jonesin’ for the Hoof’s tongue sandwiches and the bone marrow soup. Dinner quickly became a pissing contest about who had eaten more nasty bits in their short dining careers – the off-cuts their immigrant grandparents probably spent a lifetime trying to avoid. A few companions were also Jewish; for them, pig’s feet and chicharrones scored even higher points.
