Questions

General
-
Beef Short Rib: Not the flavor of a robust, crusty rib-eye, but the slightly subtler beefy flavor and iron-y notes imparted from a boneless braised short rib; with its buttery, soft, low-and-slow braised texture.
Pork: Think deeply savory and succulent braised pork shoulder, and the ultra-tender, pulled texture that comes with it.
Chicken: Juicy, lean white meat notes, with satisfyingly meaty-and-subtly-bouncy texture.
