Sather and Michael went to the final dinner of the series at Corsino. Michael had to leave early, and Sather may have had a bit too much to drink... in his own words.

Zak and Jori came over right before New Years and broke down a pig with us. We made some prosciutto's, bacon, dry sausages, boudin blanc and a few other fresh sausage mixes. It was a wonderful time and we learned a lot.

yum.

Many thanks to Chef Jeff Gimmel of Swoon for helping break down the pig and grind it. Also for the exceptional tips and use of his sausage press!
