I, too, think you are a good writer (thank you for the comment on-air last week regarding my writing,... that was nice.) This slow food thing is very intriguing to me. I have a friend from Oklahoma (yes, us Texans have Okie friends!) who worked as a chef until recently at the Maroon Creek Club, one of my clients. He quit the Maroon Creek Club to open a Slow Food Barbeque (yes, if you are from the south, you know how to actually spell BBQ) joint in the Willits area of Basalt. I should hook you two up! He's a great guy, yet the Okies don't do BBQ quite as good as us Texans! But, its close! I love this Slow Food thing. I actually think I want to get involved in it! Heck, I've roasted hogs, some deer and a few goats four feet under ground on numerous beer drinkin' weekend parties... and folks.... thats classic slow food smokin' right there! Hey, perhaps you should have ME on your show to talk about the delicacy of slow cooking with mesquite coals roasting meat underground! For now, though, I slow roast beef, elk, various sausage mixtures, chicken, quail, etc. almost every weekend at my place. Consider this an open invitation for slow "roasting" on my back porch sometime soon! Take care, and I'm sure we'll talk soon! -- Jon I enjoyed this posting, Michael.
