Howdy y'all.
My name is Rob and I'm currently living in Tennessee. I grew up working in a small Italian restaurant kitchen. That's where my love of cooking started, especially making my own food and ingredients. We used to buy some meats from the local university where I went and I even worked in the processing facility there for awhile in school. In the restaurant, we'd make our own bacon, lardo, guanciale, and some sausages.
I'm currently working in AI and feeling... less fulfilled haha. So I want to kick this back up and make some stuff! I'm mostly interested in curing and less in smoking given my living situation, but that seems to be a decent sub-culture in these forums!
Thanks for having me!
