MAYAN CAFE

WOW.... What a great time and a great meal with great friends.
Last night was our first DINE event and we went to the Mayan Cafe. The wait staff and Anne did a great job of finding a place for us even though there were 13 in our party. The restaurant was elegantly decorated with South American inspired art work on the walls amid calming blue colors.

Many appetizers were ordered including the guacamole, and the black bean cakes which we shared. Both were tasty and the guacamole was very fresh and made in house.

For Dinner, I can attest to the fact that the Mayan burger was delicious and cooked perfectly, while the vegetable plate was also very tasty. Everyone in our party cleaned their plates and I did witness a few licking off the last few niplets. Very Good food and a great time was had by all.

Stay tuned to our next DINE event in the upcoming weeks. As always, we are open to suggestions as to where we should go and look forward to everyone coming.

Better Meat Needs Better Butchers

Below is an excerpt from GOOD Magazine, highlighting how once booming small scale family businesses have turned into a full blown INDUSTRY. Take a couple minutes and have a look back at how things once operated in Butchertown.

LINK TO GOOD MAGAZINE

"Forty years ago, smaller, family-owned slaughterhouses existed throughout the United States. The number of these “very small plants” has declined over the last 10 years, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service, and the industry consolidated into a very, very efficient system. In her book Raising Steaks, Betty Fussell writes that all but a very small percentage of the 30 millions cows harvested annually in United States are turned into meat by one of three major packers. And industry beef producers don’t make money on rib eye steaks. They make money on the parts no one wants—value-added offals like pink slime."
