Don't dip in butter; however, use whole butter to saute. You can cut it with a little canola oil or cottonseed oil to raise the smoke point. The browning of the whole butter incorporates a huge amount of flavor. Other than that, you are on the right track.
The pork rinds are a great example of an amuse bouche. The amuse course of a meal should be slightly salty. The salt stimulates the pallet. It also makes the consumer thirsty. Considering that liquor has a much lower cost than food, making people thirsty and drink more is a good business move.

When I've been there I've never been disappointed. Nathan goes a great job.
AG food stores usually have short ribs.
1) Don't buy a knife you don't know how to properly care for
2) Even using my knives professionally i only sharpen them 2 times a year. Rarely 3 times a year.
3) Exactly what the poster above said.
4) Buy a whet stone and a cheap Asian knife from Vinh Phat or somewhere like that to practice on.
Heads: make stock. Then from that, make soups and/or sauces

Heads and tails: make bisque.

Potatoes: chill hard enough to cut with a knife and make chips. You'll have to cut them chilled hard then freeze and fry frozen. It's tricky but worth the effort.

Tails: bread pudding

Corn: corn maque choux

If you add sausage: gumbo or jambalaya
