Welcome to Week 27 of 2019. Chef Works Weekly Bites is where we take a dive into the notable and fun food stories of the week.
First up is guess the quote.
“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.” (Do you know who said it? Answer at the bottom).
APPETIZER
Let’s kick things off this week with a meaty story! We’ve covered the veggie-based burger revolution plenty on the Chef Works blog. But is the pendulum starting to swing in a different direction? How about veggies that are made out of meat?
That’s right, Arby’s is throwing a little shade at the fake meat companies with its “meat carrot.”
The move is a gleeful troll by the carnivorous fast food chain that recently announced it’s never going to sell fake meats like the Impossible Burger. Specifically, the marrot is a seasoned, marinated turkey breast, cut and rolled into the shape of a carrot. It’s cooked sous vide. Then it’s rolled in dehydrated carrot juice and oven-roasted. The marrot is finished with a brûlée of maple sugar and a sprig of parsley on top. Taylor points out that it’s high in protein and vitamin C—what Arby’s dubs a “meat snack.”
