We're not sure if you've heard, but butchering is kind of a big deal right now. Across the country butchers are teaching novices how to properly handle a nice piece of meat.

We prefer watching the professionals to getting our hands dirty. There's just something about watching a man--or woman--working and cutting away at hunks of animal parts. Primal, really.

Well, for those of you wanting to check out some mano-a-mano meat carving, Whole Foods is starting up its regional butchering and fishmonger--sorry, but the fish thing is slightly less exciting--face-off next week.

Steak and BJ Day: Here's How to Celebrate It Tonight

It's time to pay back the flowers and candy.
Clean Plate Charlie interrupts our regularly scheduled blog to remind our readers of one of the most important days of the year -- Steak and BJ Day.

Listen up, folks. It's March 14. One month after Valentine's Day, celebrate Steak and BJ Day tonight!

It's basically payback for any man who treated his date well on Valentine's Day. The rules of the holiday insist that at this point -- if your man did the expensive restaurant, flowers, and champagne for V-Day -- then you must show some "love" on BJ Day.

Other than that, there are no restrictions. You don't even have to go to a fancy steak house for the dinner portion of your epic evening. In fact, we're willing to "stake" our reputation that most men don't care about how much you've spent on the steak.

With that in mind, we've come up with a list of places to take your man -- based on your relationship.

The second part of the night? You're on your own.

Meat the Wienermobile. Get free stuff.
We're not sure about that famous song in which we wish we were a meat tube. Seriously -- do you really want your ultimate end to happen by being laid in a roll, doused in mustard, and eaten?

No... what we really do want, however, is to trade in our used Toyota for the sweet ride that is the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Just think how cool it would be to cruise A1A in the Wienermobile, waving to the bikini-wearing crowd and imploring them to "eat our meat."

The Steak 'n Shake 7x7 Burger: There's a new gut bomb in town.
If you've ever driven around in your car at two in the morning wondering where you could find a mega gut-bomb, then read on because we've found a doozie of a burger.

Steak 'n Shake has introduced the 7 x 7 Steakburger, and it's exactly what you think it is -- seven meat patties (and seven slices of cheese) all in one bun (because seven buns would be overkill, don't you think?).

This burger contains one full pound of meat and, according to Steak 'n Shake's nutritional statement, 1,330 calories; 98 grams fat, 45 grams saturated fat, and 4,490 milligrams sodium.

Myron Mixon is coming to Winn-Dixie.
He's won more competitive barbeque titles than anyone in the history of grilling meat on fire for prizes and he's the star judge of Destination America's BBQ Pitmasters. He's also the chef/owner of Pride and Joy Barbeque in Miami, and the best-selling author of Smokin' with Myron Mixon.

Basically, we're saying that Myron Mixon is a big deal in the barbeque world. And now, you can "meat" the man in person when Mixon comes to Winn-Dixie in Plantation for a special meet-and-greet.

Another Burger Chain? Burger 21 Sniffing Out South Florida Market

Google the terms "burger" and "Fort Lauderdale" and more than four million results pop up.

Even if you don't count the Big Three burger chains -- McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's -- there's still Five Guys, CG burgers, Energy Kitchen, BurgerFi, the soon-to-open Shula burger, Elevation burger in Coral Springs. And those are just the chains. That's not even counting the mom-and-pop shops.

Even with such a saturated burger market, Tampa-based Burger 21 is looking to expand to South Florida.

Is McRib Planning a December Return?

The McRib...We're going to need a bigger chimney.
Forget the milk and cookies this year. If rumors are correct, you could leave Santa a snack by the chimney that he really wants to eat this Christmas -- a tasty McRib sandwich.

According to Advertising Age, McDonald's is planning on releasing the pressed-pork sammy in late December.

The sandwich is usually released once a year, from late October through early November. The short window of opportunity to eat the McRib is at least part of the reason why this item has a near-crazed rabid fan base.

Think we're exaggerating? Check out this online McRib locator.

Paladar Cleveland's dining room.
South Florida culture is deeply rooted in Latin American culture.

Which is why we're a little intrigued by the announcement of the opening of Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar at the Village of Gulfstream Park  this coming fall.

Why does the idea of a restaurant with influences from "Central & South America, Cuba, and the Caribbean" pique our curiosity?

Well, because this small restaurant chain hails from Cleveland.

Paladar, which translates to taste in English, opened its first restaurant in Cleveland in 2007. It then expanded to the Maryland area, with restaurants in Annapolis and North Bethesda.

Need More BBQ Ideas? Vanesa Fedak of Bravo! Gourmet Sandwich Talks Peruvian-Style Parrilladas

Peruvian-style parrillada.
Over the past few years, Peru has definitely become the hot gourmet travel destination. Serious foodies from across the world have been looking to Peru for inspiration. With that in mind, we decided to chat with Vanesa Fedak of Bravo! Gourmet Sandwich to get her take on a Peruvian-style Father's Day celebration.

According to Fedak, "the way that we celebrate Father's Day is definitely around food. That's a day when mothers like to cook for the father and the rest of the family or you take the opportunity to try a new restaurant. Lima as a city keeps growing, and there are new restaurants opening every day." Unfortunately, Lima is a long trek from South Florida. However, that doesn't mean we can't host our own Peruvian barbecue, or parrillada, at home. Here's how.
