A Meat Man Speaks

Tom the Butcher isn't the nickname of a neighborhood purveyor; it's a fascinating, funny, and downright irreverent blog written by Tom Mylan, formerly of the butcher shop and food store Marlow & Daughters (who also blogs as Grocery Guy) in Brooklyn, New York. With its links to carnivorous corners of the Internet and tips for everything from curing your own ham to roasting your own porchetta, the site offers a glimpse into the mind of someone whose philosophy about meat and the way we cook it, eat it, and process it never fails to enlighten.
