“True Grits”

A great article by Burkhard Bilger in the New Yorker about the quest for an authentic “southern” cuisine.

‘One Pig’

Musician Mathew Herbert’s most recent album traces the arc of a single pig’s existence from ‘birth to plate’. This video describes the project.

Read the Pitchfork album review here:

“Herbert notes that, for legal reasons, he could not record the actual death of the pig. And that says a great deal more about government-sanctioned ignorance and the bizarre regulations on food manufacturing than One Pig really ever could. What Herbert has put together is a witty, difficult, touching testament to making something lasting out of one of the world’s many cruel inevitabilities.”
