Butcher Class?

[Pappy]

I'm interested in a Butchery (and/or Charcuterie) Class/Demonstration. Ideally, like a one-time Saturday morning or something? "Student" participation and "take home the spoils" would be a big plus. Whole hog, sheep, 1/2 steer type of thing would be great. MoCo location ideal, but will travel.

Will any fellow 'hounds please let me know if they hear of anything like this at a shop or a restaurant? Or if any restaurant owners are reading, ...you may want to hike up your insurance premiums and offer such a class.

Thanks, Pappy

Mike aka My Butcher is great and so is his store. I am glad to see others pointing out his business. He is so community minded . . . and he LOVES meat. Sign up for his e-newsletter.

PS I have posted about him before - but I am a customer, not his shill. ;-)

I would be VERY interested in this as well.
