Make Sausage with Dave the Butcher for Oktoberfest

David Budworth, Bay Area celebrity butcher, gets you ready for Oktoberfest in a special hands-on class to make sausage at Fresh Starts Chef Events in Novato. Guests will pair sausages with beers from Moylan’s Brewery, a local favorite for 21 years.

Known as ‘Dave the Butcher’ at Marina Meats in San Francisco, our presenter has years of experience in  mixing specialty sausages. Along with making their own, guests will enjoy an Oktoberfest dinner: The menu:

• Charcuterie Platter with Housemade Bread, Mustard & Pickles
• Housemade German-Style Sausage & Crepinette with Sauerkraut and Lamb Bacon
• Jacketed Red Potatoes  
• Pear Tarte Tatin

In the kitchen, guests will make crepinettes, a traditional French sausage wrapped in caul fat, and sausages formed with a sausage-stuffing machine. All proceeds benefit shelter and job-training programs at Homeward Bound of Marin.
