We ordered a Mary’s Turkey heritage bird through one of the shops at the Alameda Marketplace. There was no indication whether we got a Narragansett or a Bourbon Red, so I called Mary’s 800 number, and they said after...

Well, the heritage turkey was cooked (a red bourbon) and here’s my result. I brined the turkey overnight (just a simple basic brine) and in the morning covered it in yogurt for a few hours. Then dried it off sprinkled it...

Hey Chowhounders- I am looking to get my hands on some cuts from heritage pigs-Berkshire’s or Duroc’s, that kind of thing. I know I can order them online, but I was kind of hoping to be able to get smaller portions...

I’ll be doing a heritage turkey (a bourbon red) for Thanksgiving this year. Never roasted one before. After searching the boards and doing some collateral reading I’ve pretty much decided to brine for 24 hours (Mark...

Poggio restaurant’s Peter McNee cooks the best whole hog.

i’ve tried heritage turkeys a couple of times, and didn’t find them worth the price. they have a little more flavor (especially the dark meat), but it’s not a big difference, especially when paired with all the...

Pastaworks is getting heritage turkeys from a grower in Scio. They will even be delivered fresh not frozen! I already ordered ours, now I’m tellin' you.

I had dinner tonight at Himalayan Heritage, and it lived up to all the great reviews and comments I’ve heard. The restaurant is quite charming inside, the service is lovely, and the food is comfy and delicious. I definitely...

The Indian scene in nassau county, especially Hicksville, is unbelievably volatile...the fastest-changing scene I’ve seen. So this info’s probably only good for a month or so, but fwiw Heritage of India is the class...

Buford almost answers his own question there. If you prefer dark meat, the "heritage" birds are much better. We’ve tried all different kinds of turkeys over the years (kosher, organic, free-range, smoked). The "heritage"...

I’ve been price-shopping for Berkshire (kurobuta) hams for the holidays and ran across Heritage Pork International in Sgt Bluff, Iowa. Its hams are priced lower than Berkshire Meats or Snake River Farms, that have both been...

The last few years I’ve heard so much about the heritage turkey being far superior to the ubiquitous broad breast. Also, I’ve heard about wild turkeys. We’re all big fans of dark meat, so I’ve heard that...

I would brine a heritage turkey. The purpose of brining is to keep the meat moist after cooking, apart from what people think about adding flavors. Butterball-syle birds are already “brined” when you buy them. Check...

I tried slow roasting a perfect pork butt from Flying Pigs farm and it was amazing. Anyone know of a BBQ joint that serves such meat? I know RUB used to but they have since switched to commodity pork and chicken. Thanks. JeremyEG

a gem! Terrific food, laidback neighborhood atmosphere. Had the regular tibs, a lamb wot, and a vegetarian combo; all were excellent. Although the a/c didn’t seem to be working—it was cooler outside than inside....
