  1. For that sandwich, I'd eat all the bun too! Keto / Carnivore does have its minor drawbacks… I miss bread and mac n cheese and stuffing more than anything. And, oh yeah, fat cap up. Great, Great looking sandwich!

  2. Looks guuuude! So how long did you allow the picanha to rest and what was the final temp it should be at?
