The Carnivore’s Manifesto Magical Meat Tour Update & Gallery!

We are on the road promoting Patrick Martins’ new book The Carnivore’s Manifesto! We kicked off the tour Thursday in San Francisco at Americano Bar and Restaurant for a book signing on the patio with executive chef Josh Perez. On Friday, we made our way to Fatted Calf Charcuterie to visit Taylor and Toponia and the rest of their crew. They then  joined us for a dinner hosted at 18 Reasons. Sam, the owner of Bi-Rite Market, and Chili, who is their head meat purchaser, prepared an amazing meal of braised heritage pork shoulder with salsa verde and fresh panzanella salad. Michelle is in charge of organizing all the events and dinners at 18 Reasons and lead a discussion with Patrick, Mike Edison, Sam, Chili, Taylor, and Erin Fairbanks, about Patrick’s book and why sustainable and humane meat is important to each of them.

I’ve always known that a book was needed to accumulate all the funny things I’ve experienced over the years working with great people and tasting great foods. I met my co-author Mike Edison while doing a show on the Heritage Radio Network, and I knew I had found a perfect communicator for these ideas.
