Honest To Goodness

When it comes to buying natural and local, our protein is right at the
top of the list.

So when The
Honest Butcher (aka the dynamic David Ritzer) opened his doors we
stepped right in line. On a recent visit we scored flank steak for the
BBQ, stewing beef for a moroccan tagine, coarse-ground beef for burgers,
and minced pork for Asian meatballs served on rice noodles: a week’s
worth of dinners for under $40. Throw in some paté and a container of
the Vietnamese pho broth and there’s lunch, too. The concept is
whole-animal butchery so nothing goes to waste (not least of which your
hard-earned money). Now this is meat we’d like to eat. Sarah Bancroft
