A few weeks back I made a journey into Berkeley to visit a new charcuterie, Fatted Calf. They hang out at the Farmer’s Market there selling fresh meat products. Well, with the holidays and bad weather it’s been tough getting a hold of them and the meat love packages.
I scored big time today.
I showed up fairly early and they weren’t there. That sucked. So Eli and I went up and visited Jan while she was working the Blue Bottle Coffee stall. We hung out for a bit then decided to see if Taylor and Kim had showed up. They had, and it felt like xmas all over again. My eyeballs were shaking as I went over the menu asking questions about the sausages and so forth. They were in a good mood and as they were loading up my order, Kim tossed in a salami and said “here, you try this”.
And I did. Take a look at the picture again. The reason there is just a little nub of meat there is cause I ate it. Before my camera got to it. As I’m writing this … there is none left.
I’m telling you. Give them a call or go by the Farmer’s Market in Berkeley from 10am (give or take a few) to 3pm (or when they sell out).
