This sounds like a magazine I would enjoy. Just the name conjures up savory images – Meatpaper. Meatpaper is a print magazine of art and ideas about meat. We like metaphors more than marinating tips.

International Year of the Potato
I had no idea we’re living in the International Year of the Potato, one of my favorite foods.

FAO releases on 15 December 2008 …

Grilling With Propane at Sunbelt Ag Expo
There’s no question that if you grill food you’re going to attract a crowd. That’s what Joel Garrett, Garrett Grills, is doing for his second year at the Georgia Propane Gas Association building at the Sunbelt Ag Expo. I don’t think he, or the other members of the cooking crew, could cook fast enough to feed everyone but they were …
