As a food editor and writer of a weekly column devoted to the variety of comestibles in our fair city, I am occasionally given the opportunity to eat a huge steaming pile of crow.
...T-Bone, Rib-eye, Chuck, Tenderloin, Tri-Tip, Flank Steak? What do they all mean? If you can identify them as cuts of beef, but aren't exactly clear on how they differ or what's the best way to prepare them, join us for The Right Cut, a class with Ben Dyer from Viande Meats & Sausage. Ben is our favorite Meat Man in Portland ? he's smart, funny, and he really knows his stuff. He'll be sharing his expertise on how to select the right cut for the right use and how different types of muscle respond to cooking. You'll never be befuddled at the meat counter again!

If the idea of eating bacon makes you think "Mmmmmmm" but the idea of making bacon makes you think "Huh?", you might want to join us for our May 6th class, The Magic of the Belly. Ben Dyer will be teaching us how to make bacon and pancetta at home -- and we don't just mean frying it up in a pan! Ben will show us how to prepare and cure the meat using only regular kitchen stuff. Ben is one of Portland's true artisans, and he has taken meat to a whole new level through Viande Meats and Sausage and Simpatico Catering. Imagine how satisfying a BLT could be with bacon you made yourself! Mmmmmm.

Six weeks ago, I opened The Horse Radish, a cheese and wine bar in Carlton. It's been quite an experience opening it up and an exciting experience operating it.
In The Horse Radish, we offer some great cheeses, a few specialty meats, great pates (from Ben at Viande Meats!), fresh local bread and other specialty gourmet food. We are also a wine (and beer ) bar offering great local wines by the splash, glass or bottle as well as a few small plates of different selections (i.e. caprese salad, antipasto plate, wild mushroom ragout...). Wine is also sold retail.
From The Horse Radish, you can walk to at least 6 tasting rooms. After walking around and tasting, you can then walk to The Horse Radish, relax in a comfy chair and fill up so you can walk better !
99% of the time I am there, so please check us out and introduce yourself!

P.S. We've got some entertainment booked for the next two Fridays! I'll announce it shortly!
