All You Can Hold For Five Bucks

The New York steak dinner, or beefsteak, is a form of gluttony as stylized and regional as the riverbank fish fry, the hot-rock clambake, or the Texas barbecue. Some old chefs believe it had its origin sixty or seventy years ago, when butchers from the slaughterhouses on the East River would sneak choice loin cuts into the kitchens of nearby saloons, grill them over charcoal, and feast on them during their Saturday-night sprees. - Joseph Mitchell, 1939. The beefsteak endures - as does the writing of Joseph Mitchell.

The meat is almost ready to be boiled, except for one thing: Although its head, innards and three paws have been removed, it still has one. That’s the law. "They leave the paw on to prove it's not a cat or a dog,"

Where's The Beef?

amyms — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:12:20 -0800

Where does recalled beef go?

Before it was recalled, most of the beef had already been sent to school lunch programs and other public nutrition programs.

Mannequin, Fake Boobs and Real Meat in a Swing. Fake hand, holding a real heart. Self-portrait, with octopus. Mannequin with real tongue. Unborn pigs on a meat background. The photography of Allan Ludwig (a portrait of the artist, sans meat), aka Elisha Cook Jr. In addition to the meat stuff, he does a lot of interesting things with dolls, found objects and graffiti. Not this Allan Ludwig, whose art is fascinating in a very different way. (Quite possibly not safe for work or sensitive dispositions.)
