How To Grill Teres Major

Teres Major comes from the shoulder. Because of where it’s positioned, it’s a muscle that’s not overused. The result? A tender steak. Many call it the ‘poor man’s filet’. It cooks up quickly and is best served cut into medallions. It’s not always easy to find but we almost always have it. If you haven’t tried it, you should. Here’s how to grill it. https://youtu.be/U-gQj0UWUmQ   …

The Saratoga Garlic Story

Since we opened our doors in 2009, we have always carried a wide variety of products in our butcher shops. From time to time, we like to highlight these local businesses that we love. We recently had the opportunity to connect with Max Higgins, CEO of Saratoga Garlic. He was kind enough to provide us with a quick history of how his father, Bill, started the company that continues to thrive. Their garlic is sustainably grown on their 10-acre farm just outside of Saratoga Springs, NY. The garlic is used to make delicious garlic aioli. Grab a jar the next time you stop in! https://youtu.be/qLyO_5VrA …

Important Updates About COVID-19 Safety

A message from Kevin: To our customers, You may have noticed that meat prices are up and supply has been less reliable than in the past.

Volatility with supply is another issue but we have been successful keeping the store stocked full. Meat is a commodity that is traded every day but is usually much more predictable and reliable. We usually see price increases in the summer and at holidays but this is unprecedented. We are p …
