Meat Truck

I wonder if they smell like beef when they get warmed by the sun.  Either way, extra points for the straight-from-the-butcher packaging!

It is well documented that several species of meat are carnivorous. Burgers, however (especially those of phylum fastfoodium), are known for sport hunting. 1 of every 3 burgers is born into a highly populated area and hunting in urban environments is strictly prohibited. Many city burgers eventually succumb to the relentless temptation. Ironically, burger-related crime rates are particularly high in meat-friendly cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia. A crime against meat is a crime indeed.

Special shout out to Senor Tibblesworth Van Vilderbottom (a.k.a. Dorkchop) for his long time support of the Truck.

For people who prefer their music well done…

ST. PAUL (AP) – Wondering what’s on the menu at this year’s Minnesota State Fair?

Food officials are introducing Pig Lickers, Pickle Pops and Big Fat Bacon.

There was some hesitation about allowing something called Pig Lickers to be sold at the fair. But Charlie Torgerson, who co-owns several Famous Dave’s Franchises, says the chocolate-covered bacon decorated with some sea salt is the best meat out there.

If you want the bacon but not the chocolate, you might try the Big Fat Bacon. It’s one-third pound of bacon, fried and caramelized with maple syrup. It’s served on a stick.

And a Pickle Pop? It’s simply pickle juice frozen in a push-up sleeve. Fair vendor Preferred Pickle came up with the idea after years of serving deep-fried pickles on a stick.

The Minnesota State Fair runs August 21 to September 1.

Simpson is taking heat for wearing a pro-meat t-shirt in public this weekend in support of Meat Truck’s recent web launch. “Jessica has been a long time fan of the Truck, it’s message, and wears this shirt with pride” said Simpson’s PR manager, “It wasn’t publicly reported, but during the ‘chicken of the sea’ incident a few years back, Meat Truck really offered a lot of moral support to the star.”
