Smoking Goose // Indianapolis, Indiana

smokinggoose.com 

At Smoking Goose in Indianapolis, Chris Eley is taking centuries-old meat preservation techniques and making them his own, creating unique charcuterie that reflects what’s coming from Indiana farms. In his aging room, beneficial bacteria and yeast work their magic over a span of weeks -- and sometimes years -- developing complex flavors and textures that only patience paired with superlative ingredients can produce. 

This episode is available to stream for PBS Passport holders. Stream tasteMAKERS on PBS.org and learn more about becoming a member here.
