Offally Good

You have to give great credit to a chef like Chris Cosentino who has become famous for his work with Offal (Parts of animals usually discarded after slaughter IE Sweetbreads, Brains, ETC).

Turns out he's considered something of a guru on the stuff these days. So much so that he's hosting an Offal Tasting and Q&A session at the Astor Center in NYC.

At 250 dollars a pop the dinner doesn't come cheap, but the chance to get there and see this stuff used by talented hands is something one just cant say "Nah don't think I can make it" to.

If your in the NYC area and bored on the first Tuesday of March, I invite you to book it and enjoy it (Or squirm in your seat, either way its gonna be great.)

This is the second post I have seen on this subject. I guess you circulate in more sophisticated circles, since whenever I order calves liver, I am doubly damned...once for eating meat, and the second time for eating organ meat! Wish I was close enough to partake in this!
