CSA for Salumi – Boccalone at Bi-Rite
Posted by Ben in Culinary Events, Emiliomiti News, Meat Slicers on December 18, 2007
Our friends from Chris Cosentino and Mark Pastore’s Boccalone were out in front of our favorite local grocery store Bi-Rite giving samples of tasty salted pig parts and spreading proPIGanda.
And guess what they were using to slice their salumi? A Slicer Mito 350 from VolanoBiz!
But that’s not the most important part. It’s whether or not you’ve heard of Boccalone and the Boccalone Salumi Society? It’s kind of like CSA for salumi, and if you’re a connoiseur who knows the difference between Ciccioli from Capocollo, or just a normal joe who enjoys Columbus salami, this may be for you.
Emilio Mitidieri to be on the History Channel’s “Modern Marvels: Cold Cuts”
Posted by Ben in Culinary Events, Emiliomiti News, Meat Slicers, Restaurant Videos on December 13, 2007
We’re excited to announce that Emilio Mitidieri, owner of Emiliomiti LLC, is going to appear on the History Channel’s “Modern Marvels” in an episode entitled “Cold Cuts” on Monday, December 17, 2007 at 8PM PT.
Here’s a description of the episode (notice the bolded orange sentence decribes the role Emilio plays, except the part about pig head parts and livers, though we have no problem with those parts!):
“They’re the meat in our sandwiches and slices of American pop culture. Take a look behind the deli counter to reveal the secret ingredients in boloney. Watch a master sausage maker craft salami, and pile it on at Carnegie Deli with their famous mile-high pastrami sandwich. We’ll construct exotic cold cuts made of pig head parts and livers, make the cut with the best meat slicers, past and present and see how to make turkey out of tofu. And don’t forget that olive loaf for the holidays. Served cold and cut with precision. Pureed, pounded, and poured, it’s time for a taste of cold cuts.”
He’ll be discussing and demoing vintage BK and vintage style meat slicers from his showroom in the Mission in San Francisco. It’s the only showroom in North America that has the old models alongside the new ones.
You can go to VolanoBiz.com to see more vintage and vintage style slicers.
