I'm a big fan of meat, in fact, apart from a few exceptions, I eat meat with just about every meal. One of the problems with eating out at restaurants all the time and buying my meat products from James Street, is that I don't really see where it all comes from. It's just the final product that I end up seeing, which is usually a lovely piece of wagyu placed in the centre of a plate.

When the opportunity to get along and do a tour of one of Brisbane's biggest meat production facilities, I jumped. I didn't hurt that there was going to be a massive BBQ at the end of the tour with a heap of different meats and sausages cooked up for everyone to sample, along with some matching beers for those so inclined.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived, but the Meatcart production facility looked just like any other semi industrial building over at Eagle Farm. In fact, the only way I could tell it apart from the other buildings in the street was a huge portable meat van and an equally large BBQ. Knowing I was in the right place I wandered past the entry gate to check it all out. As usual, I was pretty early and was one of the first of the guests to arrive. Undeterred, this gave me an opportunity to have a bit of a sticky beak around the facility and get an early start on some of drinks on offer (for me it was a glass of sparkling water)
