In a move certainly designed to infuriate the organization in question, a new
restaurant in Williamsburg, VA, will serve you a steak dinner... and a handbag made from the skin of the cow in question.

I find this story mooving.

I don't see why the People for Eating Tasty Animals would be upset, they should know you can't eat the leather (or at least it doesn't taste very good).

*SNRT!* Awesome. and I am in favor, as well - promotes that whole 'using the whole animal' thing. Though this day and age, I don't think there's much of the animal that doesn't get used.
Doesn't leather take awhile to make? If so, then either the leather is low quality stuff that they're churning out very quickly or the meat is sitting in a freezer for awhile.

If it's flash-frozen (freezing within five minutes) after the beef is cut and not permitted to thaw, then it retains its freshness pretty well. It's how they get meat products to the Commissaries over in Japan inexpensively without having to buy everything locally.
Or perhaps you get a purse made from the skin that was around somebody else's steak... Just a thought.

That was my expectation, that they just have a store of leather products made from the skin of the cows that they also got the meat from.
I do think it's a good concept overall, most people don't think of making a restaurant with a gift shop using other pieces of the animals they serve on plates.
