If the Dallas Farmers Market is on your agenda Saturday or Sunday, check out the slightly off-market shop of Pastabilities and Koster Cattle Co. These guys share a space just north of Shed No. 1 (where the farmers are) and next to El Mercado restaurant. I got a chance to try Mike Koster's ground beef, black Angus that he raises on pasture locally. He's not an organic guy, but he's into his cattle and doing right by them (no feedlots). I made burgers with the beef, whose fat content was high enough to produce outrageously juicy and flavorful patties. Sometimes, you just gotta have it. But here's the kicker: I've got an elderly cat who's never much interested in food. When I add a little of the leftover drippings to his bowl, he goes crazy on them. So I scraped the skillet clean, and we both enjoyed this local product. Koster also has steaks and such, all USDA choice - another reason to check out the market. |
