Happy Sunday, we’ve got beef and a fun lunch special today!

Our case has some goodies left still even after a busy Saturday! Plenty of ribeyes, strip steaks, and some fun cuts like oysters, chuck eyes, and toro. We are also running a special little menu item (while supplies last)- hot dogs! We have the classic ketchup and mustard, as well as some fun fancy ones. If you’re feeling feisty, you can even get a double barrel dog (we won’t tell 🙊). See ya!

Come see us today at Spirit Summer Recess!

The shop is open today still for normal hours, but we also have a team slinging hot dogs and smoked chipotle sausages at summer recess starting at 2pm until we sell out! We’ve got tons of fun toppings and can’t wait to see y’all there! Come grab food from us and some of the other wonderful vendors while enjoying music and good times. If you’re staying out of the heat, you can still come see us at the shop for sandwiches and steak. We finished getting all of your favorite cuts cleaned up yesterday and have plenty to go around. See ya!

Beef case is restocked!

We broke our beef down yesterday, and now have a beautifully full case to show for it! All of your favorites are available in the case including some quick to sell out cuts like flank, skirt, hanger, and tri tip. We also have out our great bone in pork chops, sausages, and chicken! If you’re looking to have one last hurrah before the weather changes over, stop by! We’ve got plenty of great ribeyes and NY strips for your grill. Give us a call if you’d like us to set anything aside for you, or come by in person to see what we have and grab some lunch (maybe our new cherry poppin’ smashie???), see ya!

Weekly sausage drop and a long awaited freezer restock!

We’ve got three classic sausages this week in the shop, our Sweet Italian, Hot Hungarian, and Beer Brats. In case this is your first time at the shop, let us tell you about them! Our sweet Italian is made with a bunch of fresh garlic, red wine, and a nice dried spice blend including fennel, anise, and sage. Our hot Hungarian was recently revamped for Titusz, with Hungarian and smoked paprika, tomato, and a little bit of cayenne. Not spicy, just warm! Lastly, our beer brat! We’ve got fresh parsley, beer, and pickled mustard seed to round it all out.

We’ve also just dropped a fresh batch of the 90’s Taco Night!!! After being out of stock for a while, we listened to you guys and just filled our freezer again. It doesn’t get any quicker or easier than this for a classic weeknight dinner. Inspired by the tacos we grew up with, this is our ground beef absolutely packed with chili powder, garlic and onion powder, and other spices you know and love. Give us a call or come see us today while we breakdown our beef. See ya!!

We’ve got a new burger on the menu!

We decided it was time to mix up the regular sandwiches, and not to brag, but our chef has outdone himself. Meet the Cherry Poppin’ Smashie! Smoky, sweet, and creamy, this is a super luxurious and savory burger. Jalapeño popper spread made with house smoked cream cheese, a lovely cherry mostarda adds some acidity, and topped with pickled red onions and our crispy beef bacon all in delicious balance. A great burger for when you want to indulge but don’t want to go crazy! Order online or in store (not available thursdays). See ya!

Happy Tuesday, we’ve got chicken again!

We are fully stocked once again with our fresh chicken for the week! We just got done breaking it all down and our case is sitting pretty waiting for you to arrive. We have our usual suspects of whole chickens, leg quarters, skin-on/skinless boneless breasts, bone-in skin-on thighs, and marinated drumsticks! The drumsticks this week are in a super zesty Italian herb marinade, packed with orange zest, fennel, garlic, parsley, and more! Give us a call to have us set anything aside for you or stop by in person to say hi. See ya!

Stormy weather is here, but so is cozy delicious soup!

Moussaka is normally a layered and warmly spiced meat and eggplant dish with tomato and bechamel- but at Fat Butcher it’s soup! We roasted up a bunch of fresh eggplant and peppers, browned up our incredible ground beef and made up a hearty batch for our freezer. This is super savory with our beef stock, cream, and whipped cheesy potato! All of the flavor of the traditional Greek version, but with none of the dishes. Stop by to grab some before the rain hits, see ya!

New freezer and pantry items!

Allie made another small batch of her greatly requested Bolognese Sauce, and it’s now available for purchase in our freezer! These are super rich and luscious, made with our fresh ground beef, fatty bacon ends, and other delicious flavor makers. Cook your favorite pasta (or polenta 👀, maybe from our new pantry goods?), reserve some of the starchy water to mix with the sauce and you have an incredibly easy weeknight dinner! These tend to go fast, but have no fear! Even if we run out, we have plenty of other goodies in the freezer.

New freezer and pantry items!

We just got some great new pantry staples in at the shop! We heard you were looking for some new high quality dry goods, and made it happen! Say hello to Marsh Hen Mill These are heirloom grains and legumes grown and milled with traditional techniques in South Carolina. We’re hoping it’ll be easier now than ever to get everything you need at the shop for an easy and delicious dinner. Let us know what you think!

Weekly sausage drop is here!

Bit of a small update this week for sausages as we are getting ready for Spirit summer recess on 8/29! Look out for our tent- we’ll be slinging hot dogs and brats with a nice little array of topping options. In the meantime, we restocked our breakfast sausage freezer packs, and linked up some Hot Italian and Hot Hungarian (both are all pork)! While we might be a little limited on sausage options this week, we still have plenty of variety when it comes to chicken and pork! We are also breaking down our beef today and will have a full restock by tomorrow morning. Give us a call to have us set anything aside or stop by in person to take a peek. See ya!

Happy Tuesday!

Our chicken and pork came in yesterday and we got straight to work getting it cut and seasoned for you guys! In addition to the lovely lemon and turmeric chicken drumsticks you see above, we also have our standard chicken cuts (skin on and skinless breasts, wings, thighs, whole chickens, bones) and a ton of pork. We have a bunch of beautiful bone-in pork chops (a shop favorite), and are back with our other cuts that tend to sell out quicker like spare and country ribs, and tenderloins. We will be keeping busy today making sausage, so stop by if you want to see the magic in person. See ya!
