OPENING: The Meat Hook

Brooklyn meat evangelist/celebrity butcher Tom Mylan announces great news for carnivores and herbivores alike (from a post at Brooklyn Based):

“Well, now that we have permits and such I guess I can finally break the silence and spill about our new space. Me and Brent (Young, formerly of Marlow and Daughters) and Harry and Taylor from the Brookyln Kitchen have joined forces to open a food dork megaplex on the north side of Williamsburg on Meeker under the BQE.

Born out of an old bowling supply factory, we are opening a multi-use space we have been referring to as “The Lab.” It will house New York’s first real cooking school for home cooks, featuring a huge 2000-square-ft. teaching kitchen/dining room, a secondary teaching kitchen on the second floor, beer and wine making supplies, a full complement of professional baking goods, a serious selection of cookbooks and how-to manuals, as well as a whole room dedicated to bulk spices and local grains and legumes.

To top it all off the space will be home to The Meat Hook, me and Brent’s full-service butcher shop that will have local, sustainable meat and poultry, amazing sausages and a huge selection of ready to use stocks, sauces and prepared foods. We’ll be doing Wild Turkey wild turkeys, whole fresh and cured hams, glorious beef roasts for Thanksgiving and don’t get me started on the crazy things we have planned for the holidays, New Year’s and the Superbowl! There will also be plenty of butchering, sausage and charcuterie classes as well. Permits, construction and the gods willing we should open ourover-stuffed doors in late October for end of year food mayhem.”
