Welcome to our blog.

The main habitat of earthworms is the earth. Commonly found feasting on interesting living or dead matter. These are unusual and untold stories from the world of food science from the present and ages past.

Inside our Blog: Bacon & the Art of Living

Charc’ Tank

Join Gil and Eben at the Charc’ Tank where we talk meat!

Don’t expect an academic discussion. Informally we talk about that which we love: meat! Also, don’t expect us to stick strictly to a point by point script or even to any particular subject even though we broadly thread every discussion around a central theme.

What we strive for is interesting and highly relevant content!

The latest podcasts are featured below.
