MARTY: Well, I wouldn't call it an elegant profession. It's in a lower social scale. People look down on butchers.

CLARA: I don't.

From state-shaped steaks to cellophane-wrapped hamburger meat spelling “LOVE,” the project is both conceptually eye-opening and seriously ambitious."

Heh. That cracks me up. Just last night I was in the grocery store and saw a whole fridge full of ribeyes shaped (sort of) like hearts; the sale was obviously for Valentines day dinners.

Looks like meat sculpting might be a micro-fad.; 2/13/13, 9:34 AM

Though I'm not much of a carnivore, as a cartographer, I'm kind of intrigued...; 2/13/13, 9:34 AM

What I too thought was "New Jersey" at first is Alfred Hitchcock, no?; 2/13/13, 11:29 AM

"Is this still Eric, or are we eating Rusty now?"

(Perhaps unfortunately, we tended to name the cute little calves after relatives.); 2/13/13, 3:20 PM
