Some eat like a pig…

…others eat from a pig:

That’s me at Daisy May’s, celebrating the launch of Serious Eats (I stole the picture from the Serious Eats photo pool.) What’s it like putting on rubber gloves and digging into a pig carcass for your grub? It’s pretty fun. And the meat is really juicy. My favorite part was when I bit into a piece of metal that mysteriously read “property of George Clooney.” Hmm, wonder what that could have meant?
