This year’s inaugural class includes heavy hitters like Jimmy Dean and Donald Tyson, as well as some lesser-known, but no less important meat propagators. In the words of Dan Murphy, a co-founder of the hall, “These are men and women credited with fostering much of the profound change, remarkable progress and substantive success of the industry.”

The induction ceremony will be October 27th and I’ll do my best to support these people by eating as much meat as possible before (and after) that day.

A new ad for meat has been making its way over the internet all the way from Australia. The star of the ad is none other than Sam Neill, the dinosaur-killing star of Jurassic Park. It kind of makes me wonder what dinosaur meat would taste like. Also, would it be red or white?

In the commercial, Neill touts red meats for their “omega-3s, zinc and iron.” These are all important nutrients that I would like to have in my body. As the meat is being cooked, it draws the attention of everyone in the neighborhood. I’m pretty sure the “scent” of a veggie burger wouldn’t have that effect.

For showcasing the importance of red meats and protecting the world from dangerous dinosaurs, Sam Neill, you are a true Unvegan Hero!

When I first heard the name of Jeff’s Kosher Gourmet Sausage Factory, I was quite thrown off. It’s not often you hear the words Kosher and sausage in the same sentence. Usually the closest you get is Best’s Kosher Hot Dogs. Needless to say, it was with great excitement that I approached this Kosher sausage fairyland.

A quick look at the menu showed me a lot of dishes with vegetables, so I had a hard time deciding which one would be the best without the said veggies. Hoping to get a glowing sausage recommendation, I asked the guy at the counter what the best thing on the menu was, and he told me it was the hamburger. This was a little disappointing, as I knew the burger could have neither cheese nor bacon on it. It was also disappointing since he didn’t mention a sausage. So, in a rush, I chose their special of the day, the buffalo chicken sandwich. It came with lettuce, tomatoes and onions, so I asked for it without and also got fries and a drink.

It came just as I had ordered, perfectly Kosher, with no extra vegetables. The chicken patty was nice and crunchy and the buffalo sauce was pretty spicy. I wouldn’t have minded have used some cheese, but I could never expect such a thing from a Kosher Sausage Factory.
