Karnivool digs meat. The Meatist digs Karnivool.

I’m looking at it like this: right now, at launch, it’s an online meat magazine. I’ve picked some of my favorite long form pieces to rewrite and publish, including a piece about how to make pulled pork at home, and an all new take on my hot dog comparison (part one).

I’ve also added a quick review of Wild Olives by Todd English, the star chef’s restaurant in Boca that opened late last year.  Of course, I focus on the meat prospects there – hint:  carpet bagger oysters + meat candy = awesome.

And then there’s the Karnivool interview.  I spent some time with the Australian band in Austin recently, and they like them some meat, lemme tell you.  If you read my SXSW coverage, you missed one of my favorite parts of the interview, which involved their road manager and a case of Guinness, so stop by and check it out.

Finally, I’ve included a recipe for osso bucco that Jaime Pruitt, the chef at Wild Olives, gave me, plus two quickies for some tomato-based barbecue sauce and a basic meat dry rub.

All of which is live, now at meatist.com.  I’ll be adding pieces daily, so I’d appreciate it if you’d stop in and subscribe to the RSS feed – I could use the support, and I’ll try to avoid suckage as much as possible (how much can it suck – look at those oysters…)

Carpet bagger oysters hover above Karnivool's heads.

The Meatist Lives

Drew, Ian, and Hoss from Karnivool. Meat-eating Aussies that fucking rock.

I love these guys.  Toss a hunk of odd ball meat in front of ‘em, and they’ve got the balls to eat it up.  The band kicks ass, their meat eating habits make even me hugely jealous, and they take a great photo.  What more could you want?

I’m doing a full profile of them later in the week, but in the meantime, enjoy some excellent stories about meats of the world (and a wacky Outback – the crappy restaurant -experience).

Read the full interview with Karnivool on The Meatist, now.

Karnivool Eat Their Way Across The World

Yes, I know I haven’t gotten new shit up here, but perhaps this will do for now: another column on launch day of The Meatist – on pulling pork at home.

The Meatist II: Pulling Your Pork At Home

For those of you that can’t stop obsessing about when you’ll get to read the first Meatist column on the its very own blog, you can finally relax.  It’s up and live for the world to see.

Please stop by and take a look, leave a comment there if you feel the making me look like a compelling writer.

It’s the classic – a hot dog shootout and review.
