Description

Since 2008 Salume Beddu has produced cured meats on par with the nation's top artisans of the craft. Now, you can order lunch at its Hampton Avenue shop, and the menu, though small, is extraordinary. Sandwiches spotlight the store's products - speck paired with fontina and preserved lemons, say, or the "Beast in a Box," featuring the terrific fiama sausage. Daily specials can be sublime, like the pork ribs rubbed with ras-al-hanout, a Moroccan spice blend, steamed for three to four hours and then charred to finish. All in all, an absolute can't-miss.

    If you can't pinpoint the secret to Salume Beddu's pork ribs, an occasional special on the lunch menu of south city's acclaimed salumeria, don't fret. The preparation of the ribs begins with a dry rub containing no fewer than twenty ingredients, including nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and rose petals. The rub is a Moroccan blend called ras-el-hanout, and the ribs cure in it for several days before being steamed at a low temperature for three to four hours and then briefly charred to order. The...

  • 2010 | Best Takeout Counter (Gourmet Division)

    Mark Sanfilippo is quite the specimen, but that wasn't the only reason it was always hard to pass his stand at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market. It was also the taste of his coppa romana, the aroma of his guanciale and the snow-white loveliness of his pancetta that not only compelled you to fling money at him on the spot, but then had you pining until the weekly market reopened and you could see him again. Now that Sanfilippo's cured-meat business, Salume Beddu, has grown large enough to... More »
