Kocurek Family Charcuterie

Last Saturday morning, Ben and I sprung out of bed early, eager to get downtown to the Farmers’ Market to check out the new (for Saturdays) charcuterie vendor, Kocurek Family Charcuterie. We’ve been hooked on Dai Due lately, but were excited to try a new source.  Kocurek didn’t disappoint – we were able to sample many of their goods, and ultimately took home some duck bacon and chicken and duck liver pate.

After we finished our shopping, we enjoyed our new Saturday morning ritual – biscuits with sausage and gravy from Dai Due. There seems to be a dearth of good biscuits here in Austin, but I think Dai Due does them real well.

Little Stevie Wonder agrees.

Here’s our platter of goodness, featuring both Dai Due and Kocurek: baguette, cornichons and pearl onions, pate, chutney, rillette, and liverwurst. The pate was my favorite. I can’t wait to try more Kocurek goodies.
