This show is all about BEEF, it is after all “What’s for Dinner!”  

First up is Flint Hills cattle rancher Arlan Stackley and his son David.  The Stackley’s have been raising cattle for many years and have been innovators who are dedicated to sending the finest cattle to market.  While the independent rancher numbers are fewer than in the past, here in Kansas it’s still great to find family farmers raising the bar on raising cattle.

I had the pleasure of meeting Arlan at the Butler Community College Donors Dinner last month and we probably should have been scolded for talking so much during the presentations.  Mr. Stackly is an interesting man with some great stories and I look forward to sharing his story with you.

Later in the show we’ll keep the BEEF theme and talk to Justin Everhart of Sig’s Gourmet Meats in Derby.  I met Justin’s Dad, Sig, in the early 90’s at Picadilly Market and Grill where he was the master of the Gourmet meat counter.  Always with a smile and always helpful, I learned a lot from Sig Everhart!  He was more than a talented butcher, he always had recipe suggestions and tips on seasoning and preparing the top quality meats he sold.

After leaving Piccadilly Sig opened Sig’s Gourmet Meat in Derby in the former Pizza Hut building at the South end of town off K-15 at 300 South Baltimore Avenue. Family owned and operated for over four generations, they proudly provide farm fresh quality pork and poultry, premium choice Angus beef, and more. At Sig’s, their choice Angus beef is aged to perfection. They allow their beef to age longer, providing a richer more satisfying taste and tenderness.

The meat from Sig’s is leaner, has less waste and healthier for your family. Your dollar goes further at Sig’s because you’re paying only for quality cut meat, not the undesirables. You can also get helpful advice on everything from preparation, special rubs and sauces, to the correct way to achieve a rich and smoky flavor. Follow Sig’s on Facebook.

A family owned & operated Old Fashion Butcher Shop offering a great selection of premium meats hand cut and ready for your kitchen or grill.  For special orders and requests call 316 788-9494.  Open Monday thru Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Justin and wife Ann continue Sig’s legacy!

Rich aromas of ripe black cherry, Mission fig, and dark chocolate mingle with a spice box of clove and nutmeg. The palate is filled with flavors of juicy blackberry and boysenberry that are enveloped in silky tannins, showing complexity beyond its years. Enticing flavors of fresh vanilla bean and hazelnut carry through a velvety richness that lingers on the finish. Enjoy now after decanting for 45 minutes or cellar through 2038.  Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec ABV13.6%

Critical Acclaim

The 2018 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon is focused, stylish, and lovely from start to finish. The wine’s soft yet persistent tannins give it a good elevation on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of red and blue fruits. Its berry nuances are balanced nicely with suggestions of subtle oak. Pair it with slow-roasted garlic and rosemary-infused leg of lamb. (Tasted; September 3, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

Blending in 11% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, this elegant wine displays the great conditions of the vintage, allowing blackberry fruit, fig, cedar and a note of dark chocolate to mingle over a medium-bodied palate of refined tannin and oak.
