Berryville, Va. Ten years ago, Robert Wiedmaier was among a handful of D.C. chefs invited to a private dinner hosted by Brian McBride, formerly of Bue Duck Tavern. On the menu: seven courses of America's oldest and rarest breed of cattle. " We tasted everything--from the tongue to the heart --everything you could possibly eat on that animal, and it was absolutely delicious", said Wiedmaier, who owns several restaurants in the D.C. area, including Marcel's and Brasserie Beck. " We were all blown away by the clean taste on lyour palate when you eat it".
The dinner was the chef's first introduction to a heritage breed that can be traced back to the 17th century. It was also his first opportunity to help save the Randall Lineback cows from extinction.
