Just back from Cow Country!


Recently, Chef Steve Cain and I had the incredible opportunity to visit America’s Heartland to observe the different segments of the beef industry. We were hosted by the team from Certified Angus Beef ® http://www.certifiedangusbeef.com/ led by Dr. John Stika who is a PhD in meat science from the University of Kentucky, following bachelor’s and master’s degrees in animal and meat science from Kansas State University. We were joined by several restaurant professionals and beef suppliers from across the country. Over the next few days, I will write about the experience as it truly gave me a whole new appreciation for beef and cattle farming. Particularly the dedication, passion, and care that go into putting high quality beef in the market place. Hopefully by the end of the story, you will find the same appreciation and understand why we honor this product from conception to plate.
