I meant to mention this the other day, in reference to the mutton story. My hometown is famous for barbeque mutton, and I grew up on the stuff, never realizing that everybody who lived more 30 miles away thought it was disgusting. I've never found a place outside of Western Kentucky that even thought about mutton, much less did it well.
Now I'm hungry.
Glad you saw the mutton story. You should check out mado. Far as I'm concerned the Levitts are doing the Lord's work. Rob Levitt doesn't waste an ounce of what he butchers.
I definitely plan on checking it out ... which goes to show you can hook even an avowed non-foodie sometimes. Thanks.
