Did ya miss us? Yes, we’ve been OOO for a while—we’ve been drowning our sorrows about the demise of the live things in the Casu Marzu cheese, which rendered the cheese NOT Casu Marzu anymore. Bloody hell, we were bummed about that. Frankly, the whole thing had us so shaken up, we were thinking about throwing in the towel.

How does one recover from a blow like that? Well, as they say: Get right back on the horse after you fall off. And so, we rode straight up to Montreal, trotted into Jean Talon Market to visit a special meat vendor with a special section with a special something. We horsed around in Monreal for a couple of nights and then crossed the border back to the U.S. with a very large cooler full of goodies.

And it’s now here. In a secret location. In Brooklyn. Just waiting for one of our favorite chefs to serve up for us. (That ought to be enough for you to figure out what we got this month. Phone a friend if you need more help.)

Oh, it’s going to be so delicious! Chef ‘Le Cavalier’ has come up with an amazing menu, boasting a phenomenal tartare (we’ve had it before and it’s stellar), a roast with some soon-to-be-illegal foie gras, and a Cowboy confit. As always, there’ll be copious wine and other beers. So, call up your friends, dress in your finest, and gidduyp to RSVP!
