We’re calling it the Jumbo Rib. It’s the spare rib, but with the belly still attached. Or maybe it’s the belly with the spare rib still attached. Either way, we rubbed them with salt, sugar, orange zest & juice and pimentón. After a few days rest, they were smoked until, well, this. They are very good and in limited supply starting Friday.

I don’t normally post non-food stuff, but he would have been 95 today. Trane’s genius wasn’t just his playing or his compositions. Music was his means to pursue something greater. His desire to learn and evolve was relentless. He used it to bring people together and find commonality. He used it to mourn injustice and express incredible love. I may not play saxophone anymore, but the lessons learned studying this incredible man’s music definitely carry over into my life behind the butcher encounter. John William Coltrane: 9/23/1926-7/17/1967

Seems it’s trendy to completely cover a piece of beef in melted butter or rendered tallow and leave it to age for a while. I never believed that was a good idea. Where would the moisture go? Isn’t that the point of aging?? What a waste of all that butter… I’m lucky to have the ear of the great @studiokitchen1, one of the most intelligent culinary minds there is, and he agreed. It is, we discussed, beneficial to cover exposed lean meat in fat while it is aging to prevent excess drying, but you need to keep the ends exposed so the moisture has somewhere to escape. So with all that in mind, I decided to get a little silly. Those are @carlislebeef boneless New York Strips and I am coating the bottom with lard that’s been perfumed with rosemary, black pepper and garlic. They’ll go in the @dryager for 🤷🏻‍♂️ weeks. And thanks to @kyle.huff for the cinematography
