Learn how to make delicious cured meats in your own kitchen with Ari Miller, founder and baconator at Lansdowne's 1732 Meats. You'll get hands-on with your own piece of locally sourced, pastured, heritage breed pork belly, and Ari will teach you how to cure your slab so that it's ready to show off in a delicious Thanksgiving dish.
And that's not all! Throughout the class, you'll sample what Ari likes to call "meat candy" (bacon) and leave with a half pound of finished 1732 Meats product (additional bacon) to snack on while you wait for your own signature cure (yet more bacon) to work its magic. Complimentary beverages from our 2014 Food School sponsors Philadelphia Brewing Co. and Commonwealth Ciders will be served.
Food School tickets are nonrefundable. This is a private event.
