Happy Tuesday! We have tons of cuts left, including your favorites like Denver, Ranch, and Flat Iron!

All of these lovely cuts come off of the Chuck primal, and we break these down in house into the retail cuts you know and enjoy. The Denver is sometimes known as “Boneless Short Rib” because it sits underneath the Chuck short rib plate and has a similar visual appearance. The Denver though, does not need to be slow cooked, and is great as a steak or as a whole steak roast! The Ranch is similar in both cooking style and recommended cook temp (medium) to the Denver, but it comes from the bicep/tricep of the beef and is much leaner! Both have excellent beef flavor and a really nice texture when cooked to the right temperature. Lastly, the Flat Iron is the most tender of the three, coming right off of the shoulder blade. It comes off as one whole roast sometimes called the blade, and we separate them into two large pieces to remove a thick line of silver skin. These are a quick simple cook, but still flavorful and tender enough to be a great addition to a nice celebratory dinner!

Hello, it’s braising weather finally and we have short rib!!!

We are so lucky to bring in whole beef from local farms because it means we offer TWO kinds of short ribs, the chuck short ribs and plate short ribs. The plate short ribs are what you may be more familiar with. These are ultra fatty and rich, great for braising or smoking until they fall right off the bone. We can do them as a three or four bone whole plate, single bone dino-style ribs, or English cut. We also offer short ribs off the beef chuck! The chuck short ribs are pulled off the inside of the beef in a triangle shaped plate, and are much leaner than the plate ribs. They can be cooked the same way and the use cases are mostly dependent on your personal preference! If you have any questions about which one to use or how to have it cut, ask our talented team of butchers what they think either in person or over the phone. See ya!

Picanha and steak roast season is here!

Picanha, also known as sirloin cap or culotte, is a delicious muscle off of the sirloin of the beef. This is a super popular steak in Brazilian cuisine, and if you’ve ever been to a Brazilian steakhouse you may recognize it folded into a “C” shape and sliced off skewers. With a tender and lean muscle, and a beautiful fat cap it’s a great alternative to NY strip and makes a wonderful roast to share! You can find these at the shop in both steak and roast forms, and we love to answer any questions about how to cook and serve them for you and your friends or family. Stop by the shop today or give us a call to have something set aside for you. See ya!

Sausage drop! In addition to our extra spicy red hots we also have b**r brats, sweet Italian links, and hot Hungarian available in the case this week. We will be rounding it out with some smoked poblano cheese links that should be hitting the case this Saturday!

09/23/2026

Feeling brave? Our Trinidad Scorpion Red Hots are smoked and ready to eat… if you dare!

Our red hots are made with fresh peppers, pork, beef, and a sizzling hot dry spice mix. These are super spicy, but also have a delightful fruity aroma that makes these a bit more special than our normal red hot sausages. We think these would be awesome on a bun with tons of sauerkraut and mustard, or served cold and sliced with crackers, cheese, and other accoutrements! Stop by today to grab some sausages or lunch, see ya!

The patriots may have won this weekend but that doesn’t mean you can’t!!

We’ve got a ton of beautiful steaks, roasts, and chickens in the shop today! Our pig delivery will be a little late today, but in the meantime we are stocked up with ribeyes, strips, biryani seasoned chicken drumsticks, and more! Give us a call if you would like anything set aside, or stop by to check out our offerings and order some lunch. See ya!

Weekly sausage drop has arrived with some fun new contenders!

We have some nice little Hot Italian and Hot Hungarian sausages in the case for you, both all pork. Our Hot Italian packs a punch, but is still super flavorful and fragrant with red w**e, garlic, and fennel. Our Hot Hungarian is a small batch link made with tomato, two kinds of paprika, and a little bit of cayenne just to warm it up. One of our new sausages this week is the Tamarind, Mango, and Thai Chili! This is a really wonderfully balanced sweet and spicy pork and beef sausage, made nice and silky with a dry spice mix. Super versatile, you can throw this guy next to some rice and pickled veggies, or next to a pancake for breakfast! Lastly, our Hatch Chili and Sweet Corn pork sausage! Blistered corn, chilis, and aromatics got all mixed up with some toasted masa and spices for a savory and sweet vegetal sausage reminiscent of a tamale or taco! Give us a call or stop in to grab a cold sandwich and see what else we’ve got, see ya!

Have a happy Wednesday with some of our beautiful bone-in pork chops!

We got a hog and a half in yesterday and got it all broken down for our case. All of your usual favorites are back in stock again, including belly, tenderloin, ribs, and shoulder! We are also still pretty well stocked up on all manner of beef cuts so stop in or give us a call to check out what we have. Our kitchen is going to be serving cold sandwiches and hot soups only tomorrow, which means you should stop in today if you’re craving something off of our hot sandwich menu (cherry poppin’ smashie anyone?), see ya!

09/15/2026

Chickens are fresh and back in stock at the shop!

We have our regular cuts and whole chickens available now in our retail case, along with some delicious Italian Salsa Verde marinated chicken drumsticks! Our salsa verde is super punchy and briney from the parsley, garlic, capers, lemon, and anchovies that make up the bulk of the marinade (you can also buy this from our retail cooler)! We will also be breaking down our pigs today, so come by later in the afternoon for some tenderloin, bone-in chops, and pork shoulder! Give us a call if you’d like us to set anything aside, or stop in to say hello. See ya!

09/13/2026

Soup season is approaching and we have you covered!

With cooler weather on the horizon (we see 70’s on the forecast!), we have been stocking up on our frozen soup section. We are always making fun new ones like our Greek casserole inspired Moussaka, our pastrami Pork Belly Soup based off of the Filipino dish Bicol Express, and other classic soups like Chicken Pastina, Beef Curry, and French Onion! We’ll also be featuring a few of these on our kitchen menu, if you wanted to stop by and try some for lunch or dinner. See ya!
