We’re kicking off a new bar room lecture series all about food, and you’re all invited to our very first one on Tuesday, January 31st.

Each month, Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour and Jonathan Soma of the Brooklyn Brainery will take on a curious food topic and break down the history, science, and stories behind it.

This month’s topic is STRANGE MEAT! Sarah will recount her adventures eating beaver, bear and moose “mouffle,” along with the historic precedent for each. Soma will be taking on unusual meat preparations, from how to turn jerky into cotton candy to what to do with a pig’s head.

Word on the street is we might even have samples.

This all goes down in the back room at Public Assembly, 70 North 6th Street in Williamsburg (door between Cubana Social/Music Hall Of Williamsburg and head upstairs), and it shall be awesome and free. Doors at 7, talks at 7:30, and plenty of special beverages available along the way. You’re hereby promised lots of interesting anecdotes and impressive food facts. 

RSVP on Facebook, if that’s your jam!
