Chicken photo courtesy of Fleisher’s. Do you look at this photo and think, man, I would seriously pay $300 to slice that bird’s carotid artery? If the answer is yes, maybe you should attend an upcoming chicken-slaughter workshop sponsored by Fleisher’s butchers. That’s the photo that accompanied an email invitation to “For Cluck’s Sake,” where: Participants will meet at Fleisher’s in Kingston for a light breakfast, followed by a trip to Meadowview Farm in New Paltz where they will have the opportunity to slaughter and de-feather their own chicken! … Participants will learn how to quarter, spatchcock, and skin a chicken for home kitchen use. All followed by a locally sourced dinner prepared by the Fleisher’s crew … Cost is $300 and includes 3 meals, lecture with Joshua Applestone, and a chicken to slaughter and take home! So … help me out here, foodies, back-to-the-land beardies, Kenji, anyone… does this sound fun to you?  Let’s… Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/brokes-populi-would-you-pay-300-to-kill-a-chicken-and-eat-it/feed/ 9 http://brokelyn.com/announcing-the-brokelyn-country-club-spring-gala/ http://brokelyn.com/announcing-the-brokelyn-country-club-spring-gala/#comments Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:33:15 +0000 Tim Donnelly http://www.brokelyn.com/?p=25783 Read More]]>

Photo by bitchcakesny. You asked for it, we got it. It’s a store, cooking school and butcher shop all-in-one. It’s The Meat Hook, the newest extension of The Brooklyn Kitchen, helmed by one of Brooklyn’s most renowned foodies, Tom Mylan. And it’s given us (you) a $75 gift card for the RAFFLE OF THE CENTURY. While the actual term “meat-hook” isn’t high on the trendy or appetizing scale, think of it like this: To be called something so graphic and carnivorous-sounding means that it’s a) trendy enough to have such a daring name, 2) good enough to make it an instant success and 3) not joking about this meat. The Hook uses only trusted farmers and sustainably-raised animals, and their fresh sausages, like the one with garlic, red wine & rosemary and chorico? They’re made fresh every single weekday. Hooked already? Then you know about all their quality cookware, bulk olive oils, homemade… Read More]]> http://brokelyn.com/raffle-prize-of-the-century-75-the-meat-hook/feed/ 1
