To kick off BBQ month we took a trip to Snoqualmie to visit our buddy Dave who owns Buckshot Honey. He cares about where his meat comes from and has some great stories about growing bouncing around from California to the South!

What is the absolute perfect meal? How would the Meat Dudes set up their perfect Outdoor BBQ kitchen? What are their guilty pleasures and comfort foods?

We just brought in a 1/2 cow from Bar R Wagyu in Colfax WA that is 100% Full Blood Wagyu. How do we know its actually 100% Full Blood Wagyu? Because we have the certificate from the American Wagyu Association.

How would you fairly split up a half cow if you bought it with friends? A draft of course! The Meat Dudes pick parts of the cow section by section like a Fantasy Football draft and talk about which cuts come from each section!

We smoke a ton of PORK! So why don't we break down our top 5 favorite smoked pork dishes! And guess what, we don't even talk about pork ribs! Mostly because you can get that anywhere and we are really trying to utilize the whole animal. I mean don't get us wrong, we like ribs, but here are 5 OTHER cuts that smoke up perfectly for us.

We talked with our buddy Kevin Smith, "The English Butcher" from Beast & Cleaver in Ballard WA about the differences in butchery between England and the United States, how he butchers cows vs pigs vs lambs and some of the worst injuries we have seen!

Instead of going with the usual Slab and a Cab, Chris Tanghe brought us two more white wines to pair with big meat dishes:

Let the meat and wine journey continue!

The most important thing, enjoy what you consume!

To truly know where your meat comes from you need to actually VISIT the farm. And that's just what we did! We traveled 2.5 hours away to Moses Lake WA and visited Pure Country Farms, where we get 90+% of our meat from. This hog and cattle farm is family owned and operated and large enough to supply us with consistent cuts for a few restaurants, butcher shops and stores in WA, but small enough to where they can have their hands on every step of the process.

We are proud to serve their meat and trust their philosophy and process.

This is what we learned...
