I had a Fantastic experience taking Custom Meat's Butcher Class with Nick. They do it at the Shop…read moreand they provided great Snacks: Sandwiches (Featuring Bread from Fatto a Mano), Sliced Meat, Cheese and a selection of Beer. They provide a fresh cut steak cooked on-site to enjoy as well and at the end you slice your own steak to take home with instructions on how to best cook it. The class is designed as Close up Observation and Explanation. Nick walks you through the entire process from the cooler, tools and breakdown of 1/2 of the main trunk of the Animal. He covered all aspects of cuts, anatomy, how and why they part it out the way they do, what to look (and watch out for) as he is doing the knifework. Nick also does it in a way that makes it engaging, understandable and answered all of the many questions I had along the way. One Note: If you are squeamish, remember you are seeing up-close knifework and the physical manipulation of real physical structures and their parts being broken down. For me I came away with a whole lot of knowledge that hits different than you will see in an Online Video or book. It also gave me a deep appreciation of the reality and skill involved to create what we end up enjoying on our table. Nick was a fantastic instructor and all-around great guy. For those with an interest in learning more about meat in general I highly recommend the class. It was a great time from start to finish. 2 BIG Thumbs Up!

I love that Custom Meats is now offering sandwiches on the weekends. I have had 2 so far, the…read morepulled pork and the roast beef, both on the Fatto and Mano lard brioche buns. Those buns take anything to the next level. The sandwiches sell out fast! You can purchase the brioche buns here which have become a staple in my home. The staff is always friendly and helpful and I got an excellent cut of brisket to make corned beef which the butcher helped with...it was amazing! I also love their maple sage sausages, ground sweet Italian sausage, their seasonal peach sausage, and freshly ground beef and pork. They also sell beef tallow, eggs, butter, spice rubs and some sauces!

Custom Meats - So this fed 16 people it's seven bones. The one I got from custom meats, fed for it was three bones. It was a ton of fat that I cut off.

I have a French wine tasting party coming up so I stopped in to check out their French cheeses…read more Heather assisted me by pointing out their selections and offered tastings. I was able to make some decisions about which four cheeses to have included on my medium platter for the tasting. They include Comté, (cow hard) Ossau Iraty (sheep semi soft), Munster (cow semi soft) and perhaps a goat cheese that they may get in during the next few days. The shop has many specialty foods to select from. I enjoyed browsing before buying a couple of cheeses to take home for later.

We recently visited this lovely shop to look for a particular cheese and also get some ideas and…read moreexpand our knowledge of some different cheeses. The store is set up beautifully with so many unique items, from mustards to tinned seafoods to raclette melting devices. The cheese display case is impressive and informative, each cheese with a card describing it and its source. Really helpful. We were so happy to get to try a few of the cheeses we had been eyeing and Laura's patience and knowledge were so appreciated. While on the pricey side, the high quality and expert knowledge by the staff really makes such a difference in finding what you may be looking for. They also offer cheese classes and other events which sound fantastic (check their website). We will be back and I definitely encourage a stop in. I received a 10 percent discount for checking in with Yelp-- fantastic!
