Foods / Restaurants A Tayst of Jerebob
Posted by Nicki Wood on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Who is Jeremy Barlow having for dinner? This week at tayst, it's Jerebob, the cow raised especially for tayst by DW Farms near Pulaski.
Jerebob was a fortune domesticated bovine, hand-raised in his natural family (and later, with a nanny) to Barlow's specifications. He produced exceptionally flavorful meat, which is offered in various tastings as long as the supply lasts.
Wednesday's offering included seared strips from a couple of different cuts, cooked for seconds, so it was technically tartare. It came with a warm frisee salad topped with peanuts that was so good it was tough to pinpoint whether the beef or the salad had a better flavor profile.
Third course was a strip crusted with salt, pepper, coriander cooked juicy, pink and utterly succulent.
The insatiably curious Barlow is also making the air-dried beef called bresaola, and a beef-wrapped roll filled with beef sausage that sounds suspiciously like a Bacon Seatbelt.

what was he fed? I'm currently on a quest for grass-fed beef and bison, and either is danged hard to find in these parts. Had it in Panama and it knocked my socks off. And I'm becoming convinced that the climbing fat numbers on most packaged bison I find is most likely due to feed-lotting the animals on high calorie corn, rather than letting them graze naturally on grass. Sad times indeed...

@ Lesley: You speak very wisely of the golden rule #1: NEVER name your food.
Rule #2: Never eat food with a face ;-)
