Bacon Tasting with Mr. Cutlets

Save Monday May 12th for Bacon Tasting with Mr. Cutlets at
Jimmy's No.43, New York Magazine's "Best of New York - Best Bar With Good Food".

Who is Mr. Cutlets? Mr. Cutlets (aka Josh Ozersky) is said to be the man to turn to in Manhattan when you need to know where the beef is. Why? Well, he's the author of Meat Me in Manhattan: A Carnivore's Guide to New York.

I'm not sure of the price or the time yet, but keep checking Jimmy's No 43 event page for more details.

Read a review from a past Bacon Tasting event at Jimmy's No. 43. Sounds like a yummy time!
