Love Jerky? Try South African Biltong
Carnivore Meat Company teamed up with TN Grass Fed Beef to make the South African specialty, "Biltong" a step above beef jerky!
Chef James Kerwin of Little Fib at the Renaisance Nashville Hotel made this comforting, homey meatloaf at The Edible Kitchen at The Sunday Market December 2. He used grass-fed beef from our friends at Tennessee Grass Fed Farms.
