This started making enormous sense to me as soon as I saw the little slider buns/dinner rolls. Pick that thing apart and make awesome little sandwiches.

here in the philippines 🇵🇭 we call it crispy ulo (head) deep fried.. with dipping sauce: soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, shallots/onions, crushed peppers and chopped fresh chili.. yum!! good for beers!

Cochon is my favorite spot in NOLA and it’s the only place I recommend to people 100% of the time.

"We went to New Orleans and discovered a wildly better way to prepare certain foods."

[BigSam]

I'd imagine this would be delicious with some bao buns and pickled veg or vinegar slaw

[beautifuldurian]

Using every part of the animal is respect to the animal. Any part of any animal or fish is delicious if u use the correct method of cleaning and cooking.

[bretthumphries]

that looked amazing! What a great idea for Thanksgiving.

[genetick]

Here in the Philippines we deep fry half of the head chop it up in bite sizes and dip it in soy sauce with calamansi or vinegar with other combinations of condimenets.

Hope you guys are hanging in there. I hope that for your inventory the beef is dry aging and pork turned into delicious sausages.

I love heads. People wouldn't touch the heads (of smaller animals) in the meat soup/stew, so I happily take the whole heads myself. All the meat 💗

As a person living and eating alone, the only thing I hate about some heads is its sizes...Too big for me 😭

You guys are my favourite tubers! Next time I come to NYC I will pay your shop a visit.
