Salumi Meat Society

Chris Cosentino is the head chef of San Francisco-based restaurant Incanto, and a former contestant on Iron Chef America. He is eccentric, charismatic and firm in his beliefs about cooking (includng Offal cooking, which means using all of the parts of an animal, including the heart, spine, kidneys, etc.). He is a meat lover and has created a company called Boccalone, which delivers cured meats on a weekly basis. Members of the Salumi society get together on weekends to taste these hand made artisan meats, much like a wine tasting club tastes wines. We'll talk to Chris, meet members of the Salumi Society and get a tour of the factory where the meat is made, to get a glimpse into this so-called Salumi "movement"

    This makes me wish I lived in San Franciso. How wonderful that this exists.

    This video sounds really funny for me! Why? I live in Italy and...believe me guys...the salumi I've seen in this video are exaclty the same of my country! Nice restaurant...I hope that one day I'll have the chance to try its cuisine! I'm so proud to see a small piece of Italy in the US!

    It's so amazing that returning to the past is considered modern. I love it. I love meat. I wanna start a meat club. Let's give meat the same respect vegies get. Meat lovers are not club carrying slope heads. Thank you!!! In support I think I'll grill something tonight.
