The Butcher Arrives





So many good days; but arriving with the butcher at Gramercy Tavern in NYC was indubitably one of the better ones. Rock star treatment, ambiance (the smell of the wood smoke is subtle, wonderful), fine braised pork bellies, lamb and pork sausages and beef something fabulous paired with a variety of beers; OMG. Seriously, you should have been there.

Upon arrival, white coats from the kitchen trooped out to unload EcoFriendly pastured pork and beef while the chef met with Bev to discuss whatever they discuss.

Still awestruck from my Delivery Truck in NYC point-of-view, and having been rubbernecking myself the whole day, I was gratified to see even the most sophisticated folks are subject to curiosity as whole hogs and beef sides are delivered.
