Did anyone notice the Rivendell reference in The Irishman?

[Trenker]

Joe Pesci, as Russell Bufalino:

 

"There’s a pork store up in Northern California. Right around Walnut Creek. You’re from up there ain’t you?

Yeah. And you might even know the guy that runs it.

Actually I’m lookin' for a little favor. For him...not for me. But if you can get him a ticket, like to Australia...you know what I mean. You wanna help him get down there?"

 

(I won't give away any spoilers, but "a ticket to Australia" does not refer to an airline ticket in this context. Could "pork store" be a kind of mob slang for "a shop that sells non-racing bicycles?")

Seeing as though Rivendell was a Teamster shop at one point, anything is possible, even likely...

Yeah, I caught that... had all the usual suspects in it....who is the blond guy, he was in Breaking Bad and something else..

I was thinking the old butcher shop, Larwences Meats when I heard the line. In the "Crick" and Alamo. They would dress game, was around for decades.

Blond guy is Jesse Plemons. Played Floyd Landis in "The Program" about Armstrong.

The plot thickens. 

And pork is keto; but that's obvious.

It gets even thicker..Jesse Plemons played a Butcher in one season of Fargo..
