Tulane Eats! Osso buco

Now that our appetizer and side dish has been prepared, part three of Tulane Eats! teaches us how to whip up osso buco, a hearty meal of braised cross-cut veal shanks, for the entree.

Leading today’s demonstration is Scott Goodstal, resident dining executive chef of Tulane University Dining Services. Since no meal is complete without dessert, be sure to look for the fourth and final installment of Tulane Eats! featuring a sweet apple strudel made by Travis Johnson, district executive chef, in Monday’s New Wave email.

Each video is shot in the teaching kitchen of the Barbara Greenbaum House on the uptown campus and is produced by social and digital media coordinator Lesley Simpson and university photographer Sally Asher.
