Meatpaper


Yes, Meatpaper. That's the name of this unapologetically carnivorous magazine. It is the brain child of Sasha Wizansky and Amy Standen, and even includes a vegetarian on their writing staff.

A description from their website reads "At once divisive and universal, delicious and disturbing, funny and dead-serious, meat polarizes us unlike any other food. Us, we’re ambidextrous here at Meatpaper — no agenda except to gnaw on the ideas, artistic excursions and bone-deep emotions the subject inspires. We invite you to dig in with us."

I've dug in to my first two issues after recently subscribing. The first image inside every cover is a meat centerfold showing two full color pages of borderless meat. While I haven't found anything strictly BBQ related, the articles about meat consumption and animal slaughter, and the poetic odes to boudin and bacon are both thought provoking, humorous, intelligently written, and downright enjoyable.
