ELV returns to Channel 3 with a bang and a hamload of coppa, sopressata, lomo, tête de cochon and saucisson (just to name a few) this morning on Wake Up With the Wagners.
Major props to Geno Bernardo of NOVE and Brian Howard from Comme Ça, for providing the platters of tasty meats, pickles, and mostarda (all made in house – natch), and for helping to elevate Las Vegas’ eating IQ (one sausage at a time) with their fervent devotion to freshness and locavorism.
As usual, you’ll have to scroll down to the 28:33 mark of the video to see us expound on the virtues of their virtuous pursuits — at least from everyone’s but the pig’s perspective.
Other salumi seers mentioned on the broadcast:
– Spago (for Eric Klein‘s Alsatian take on sausages)
– Valentino (try Luciano Pellegrini‘s duck pastrami)
– Carnevino (Mario Batali and his dad practically started the craze over ten years ago – his troops at Carnevino do him proud.)
Once you’ve tasted any of their house-made sausages, you’ll be cured of craving industrial-cured meats forever.
Buon gusto!
Thanks for including Chef Klein! He takes great pride in his charcuterie but is accustomed to not getting coverage for his efforts – he’s serving up a lot more than choucroute and salmon pizza. I know he’ll appreciate the shout out.
