Meatgistics Podcast: Kicking Off Meatgistics Episode 1

Each week, Jon and Austin break out and critique a new beer and different sausage while they discuss everything about meat. Follow along as they talk about their favorite recipes and share some of the best expert tips and tricks for making sausage and jerky. Stay up to date on the latest news and current trends in the meat industry as Jon and Austin explore everything related to meat and more.

What are we drinking?

• Austin drinks Vibrant P’ocean from dogfish head and though he doesn’t love sours he loves this, as he has loved everything he has tried from this excellent brewery
• Jon drinks Hop Slayer from Wild Onion Brewery and since he hates beer that is overly hoppy, he hates this one, but man, did Austin love it!

Mystery Meat

Jon stumps Austin by using the brand new Excalibur Sweet Roasted Chipotle Green Tea Sausage The fact that Austin called out the creaminess clearly had Jon worried for a moment but in the end, he guessed incorrectly.

Meat Hack

Parksider introduced us to the idea of starting something out in the smoker and then moving it to water to finish up and it has been one of the best things to come out of Meatgistics. Find more information here Advanced Thermal Processing

Meat Matters

Fake Meat is something more people are looking into, ESPECIALLY since we are seeing some shortages now in the meat supply chain. Well, more and more manufacturers are looking at Mushroom as either an additive or a main ingredient. This makes sense as Mushrooms have a strong Umami flavoring.

We found it! The replacement term for “Mouth Feel” shudders is Palate Apeal and are ANY of us surprised that it was Joe Hell who came up with this?

Wrap UP

-Use a thermometer when cooking!
-When you are injecting or marinating make sure you look at the level the meat has been pumped to. Lower pumps will do a better job accepting whatever flavor you are trying to impart.

Other Notes

Pay attention to labeling and think it through! Don’t let them slap an " Anti-biotic Free" or “Gluten-Free” label on something and have that add value in your mind. Sometimes it is slapped on a product that obviously wouldn’t contain gluten or on something. like chicken that it would be illegal to add anti-biotics to!

Enjoy guys! We will be sending out some more information on this tomorrow and those with Android might have a little harder time finding it but it should be available in the google podcast app tomorrow! If you listen on apple or really anywhere please subscribe and if you think we did a good job and were fun, or if you think we were terrible, give us a 5 star review either way! Seriously, the 1st one was a us finding out groove, we’ve got a few more under the belt now and I think we’ve gotten much smoother!

[Tex_77]

The first one was pretty good, I’m excited to see what content you guys bring to the table.

[Jonathon]

Thanks Tex_77 if anyone has anything they want us to cover or talk about email us at [email protected]

[YooperDog]

Overall good show. I guess that questions or techniques discussed in the forums would draw some interest to watch. Tossing out some ideas to try and reviews of seasonings and equipment could be another way to go.

[PapaSop]

Nice job guy’s. Can’t wait for more.

[Little Baby Teddy]

Jonathon awesome podcast. Keep up the good work.

[Little Baby Teddy]

[Little Baby Teddy]

[Jonathon]

Thanks guys, we will have another one out Friday. We are planning on a Monday release but we have a few backed up so the plan is 2 a week for the first 2 weeks and then back to once a week. Friday we recorded our first one with a question from a listener, so if you have something you want us to talk about email it to us at [email protected]

[BobbyMac]

Awesome episode guys, was nice hearing you guys while I’m on the road. I always pick up some tips that help me every time

[BobbyMac]

“Mouthfeel”

[Tex_77]

I can hardly wait to have my podcast question answered!

[Jonathon]

BobbyMac that is the PERFECT representation of how I feel saying it!!!

Tex_77 I am scared! It will be a few as we have 3-4 we have to release before we get to “current” ones.

[BobbyMac]

Jonathon As soon as you said it this is what I pictured in my head and now I can’t say it without raising a pinky and talking classy lol

[Jonathon]

We’re gonna have a good time with these podcasts posts guys, this is going to be fun!

You said you assume whale would be fishy. When I was stationed in Iceland I bought and cooked a piece of whale (they where harvesting whale at that time). It looked and tasted to me and my wife very much like a VERY LEAN beef roast. I had cooked (probably over cooked) it in the oven like I would a beef roast and it was very good but a bit dry since there was no fat at all. My wife does not like “raw” so I had cooked it all the way through and that was probably a mistake. It reminded me of beefalo which is a cross between cow and buffalo. Definitely no fishy taste or feel.

[Jonathon]

Tim71 AWESOME! Thanks for that information, that’s awesome to know. The culinary sacrifices we are asked to make by our wives are insane! I can no longer cook fish in the oven or stovetop because “it smells like a harbor” or some other nonsense. It doesn’t really matter as I get to cook it on my pellet combo but still, it’s the premise I object too!

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon Funny…my mother also banned my father from cooking fish in their home. I can’t say that I blame her though. He tends to buy what is on drastic markdown which often has a bit more ‘aroma’ than the fresher choices.

[YooperDog]

I have had some success with using an air fryer vs frying. Also doing a wrap in parchment paper or foil does a pretty good job of keeping the fish smell contained. I am hoping to get out and do some smelting and river fishing this next seven days. Nothing like sitting at a camp fire with an iron skillet frying up some fresh fish, taters and hush puppies. Just don’t let my doc know. Tired of listening to our gov’, need to disconnect from all this craziness.
