Offal

Chris Cosentino, chef at San Francisco's Incanto restaurant, is an offal evangelist. He's the one people turn to when they have questions about parts of the animal beyond tri-tip and sirloin. Here, he talks about the lost connection between pasture and plate, the ways that both PETA and the USDA have gone off course, and the joys of possum-eatin'. Plus: He escorts us through a full offal dinner.

Chef Cosentino, I salute you. Hunters and local butchers are some of the most conscientious conservationists I know. Too many people have the wrong idea. I'd rather have meat from an animal harvested from nature who's lived a happy animal life than devour some poor beast who's lived a life in squalor and fear and horrid conditions.

Again I say, I salute you.

ill eat it if its clean :)

idc as long as i dont

A.Get sick

B. it tastes good

C. its not fucked up

Like idk for some reason i just dont like the idea of Veil :/ i mean its such a waste if your gonna kill a animal at least wait for the cow to be mature so it can feed the most people not some poor 40 pound baby calf who feeds 1 rich family

So much ignorance, you have vegans attacking Chef Cosentino for his use of the fuck word, why?... because they have no argument to stand on. Before you animal rights activist start condemning this video, think about the message, if more non-vegans eat more Offal it cuts down the number of animals killed for food.

lol "if your willing to kill it you should shut the fuck up and be willing to eat all of it"

[kdg5636]

@Pollieo you have no business watching this video get the fuck out... you actually thought there would be shit in offal, why would anybody eat shit?

Chow should ensure thier guests arn't cussing like this. Hard to enjoy the video when he's talking like this ...

I'm looking here on Youtube to find out how to cook a pig spleen I just bought. There are NO pig spleen videos here, at least none in english. I'll have to remedy this.

I was going to respond, but I was too busy having a life.

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

@xxmightyonexx He's just being loose and expressing emotion, not being "edgy".

Curses are just words.
