Magic meat: Why two of Canada’s hottest chefs swear by Spam

Spam makes a cameo appearance in the duo’s unconventional book The Art of Living According to Joe Beef: A Cookbook of Sorts, a widely anticipated tome written with one of their original Joe Beef staff members, Meredith Erickson, released this month. The heavily processed pork is recommended as an ingredient in their oeufs en gelée recipe. Like other recipes in their book, such as “pork fish sticks,” “kale for a hangover” and “smoked cheddar with doughnuts,” this is not intellectual food. Their food aims straight for the gut.
