Bourdain in PDX

So, basically Tony Bourdain reiterated my overall stance on food in general: Does it taste good? Well, then...Shut the eff up and eat.

Mouthbreather audience members aside, it was was a humorous anecdote to Mr. Bourdain's delicious show and highly entertaining books. I said hello and gave him a MALM t-shirt -- hopefully that was one of the less awkward items he received that evening (If I were him, I wouldn't be digging into the random food offerings creepily presented to him on stage, but this guy is quite adventurous...)

New Product to Debut Soon!

So, You love MeatCakes. Of course you do! Delicious layers of meaty goodness, frosted in Potato and iced in cheese -- but sometimes you need meat on-the-go -- Problem solved.

There is a really important fundraising event coming up this June 26th where you can contribute to a very good cause and sample Meat a la Mode's latest delicious, portable indulgence: Meat a la Mode's MiniMeat Cupcakes!
