Last week, we celebrated several of Fall’s best flavors with Homespun‘s Poached Pear & Butternut Squash Salad. But why stop there? Our dream fall spread deserves a meat entrée to write home about. So this week, we handed over the reigns to Chef Jason again, this time to bring us his Bourbon Honey Braised Pork Shoulder.

This is one of those wonderful excuses to pull out your trusty Dutch oven; you’ll be slow-cooking this pork shoulder tender for a couple of hours, but as you’ll see, the fruits of your labor will be worth it.

Upon browning the pork, your sautéed garlic and onions will meet the smooth honey, brown sugar, sherry vinegar and bourbon reduction. And by introducing a blend of rich aromatics (thyme sprigs, black peppercorns and whole coriander seeds) to the pot, the macerated pork will be simply teeming with flavor. My favorite part? This meat entrée pairs so so so perfectly with seasonal roasted fruits such as figs, pears, apples, plums and onions. And just you wait until we share Chef Jason‘s recipe for those broccolini bundles! Cheers, Kat

Athens Part I

MKR embarks on a two day adventure to see all that Athens, Georgia has to offer

Just an hour outside of Atlanta lies a city that feels a whole world away, Athens.  Best known as the home of the University of Georgia Bull Dawgs, but as I was about to quickly find out Athens is not just about Saturday football games.  Athens is a community, a tightly knit one at that.  Athens is a community filled with local proprietors that have been open for generations, food that rivals that of any metro market, emerging artists in every shape and form, and families where parents do the daily commute to Atlanta just to raise their children in a place they feel is home.  This I all knew from hearing friends speak passionately about the town, but I was excited to experience it for myself and see the things to do in Athens, Georgia. 

First stop (per everyone’s suggestions on Instagram),  Last Resort.  A restaurant that has been serving locals for decades.  The food was fantastic and better yet cheap.  I noshed on a southwestern salad and the best grilled okra I’d had since being down south, Kathryn the grilled vegetable pasta a staple from her days as a Dawg.  We washed it all down with some rose of course and cake which was worth the hype.  A quick walk up the street we met Cheri and friends at Heery’s Closet to do a little shopping and attend the Empire State Finery trunk show.  From Tibi (a local Athens girl herself) to Tory, Joie and Theodosia I quickly understood why Heery’s was your best bet when it came to shopping local.  I snagged another ESF piece for my collection and even though the temperatures were in the 90’s I couldn’t resist this perfect Vince cashmere for fall.
