Upon arrival at industry city, I immediately thought of the Chelsea Market on the west side in Manhattan. The first place we went to was a meat shop and we spent the more time here.. They specialize in dry aged meat. The manager Andrew gave the class two different sample. The first sample was a thin slice of dry spicy sausage. It was a circular shape sausage. Andrew explained that all their sausages are 80% lean meat with 20% fat.
The second meat that we tried was what they called Lomo. It is the meat from the pork chops. But they took the bones out and dry and aged it. The Lomo was a light salty meat.
The second place we went to was called Brooklyn Kitchen. It is a felicity where people can take cooking classes and the staff will hold private and public classes. This location is a newer location. Their other location is in Williamsburg.
Next stop was a bakery where they were just pulling fresh cookies out. But I was not really interested in their baked goods. A classmate and I decided to go back to the meat shop and buy a sandwich. My classmate bought a beef tongue sandwich. This was my first time eating beef tongue.
The next and last stop was a chocolate shop. It was a big chocolate shop. Where they actually show how they made their chocolate products. Although they deal in big productions. the professor explained that the quality of the chocolate was not as good as another shop. The professor told the class a story where The chocolate shop started in Manhattan by a small family, but they was going to close the shop, So was sold to someone who loved their chocolate. But the man who purchase the shop passed away so his wife told over and it was passed down. After this shop the class was over.
