Zero Point Zero Whets Your Appetite With Pat LaFrieda's Big App for Meat iPad App
NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Zero Point Zero Production, creators and producers of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, announced 'Pat LaFrieda's Big App for Meat,' the definitive butcher's guide for consumers and food professionals, is now available on the App Store.
This is the first app Zero Point Zero has launched. "We wanted to make a strong statement with our initial app project," said Chris Collins, Executive Producer and Principal of ZPZ. "As a company, we've always pushed ourselves in television production, and our wiry future deserves nothing less. You either commit to doing something great, or don't bother."
Pat LaFrieda is a fourth-generation butcher whose family has run a wholesale meat business in NYC for almost 100 years. He provides the best meat to over 1000 restaurants and chefs including Mario Batali, Danny Meyer, Alex Guarnaschelli and others. Pat revolutionized the burger industry by creating custom burger blends including Shake Shack's burger, The Black Label burger, and host of The Chew Michael Symon's burgers.
Designed exclusively for the iPad, the app contains detailed descriptions and re-res photography of every cut of meat - over 200 cuts total of beef, lamb, pork, veal and poultry. Users can watch 50 minutes of premium video, where Pat demonstrates techniques you can use at home. From sharpening your knife to what to look for in a dry-aged steak - Pat shares his butchering secrets. Users can wirelessly stream video from the app to their Apple TV and big screen via AirPlay. You can test your knowledge with the Great Meat 101 Quiz, and challenge friends via Game Center. LaFrieda Meats will sell directly to consumers nationwide through the app, via a one-click access to the online store with the best steaks, chops and burgers.
"This app is a carnivore's wet dream," said ZPZ Executive Producer Jennifer Williams. "We spent ten long days in a 35-degree meat locker filming Pat artfully butcher a bunch of delicious animals like a surgeon. If you like meat, you're gonna love this app."
ZPZ selected Domani Studios as their design and development partners. "We've created a power-packed protein promoter," said Domani Studios Founder/ECD Jonathan Hills. "It addresses two of the unique desires among foodies - gaining a deep understanding and appreciation for ingredients, and getting access to one of the luminaries of today's food culture."
