Join Jan Grover, longtime Minneapolis Community Education instructor, for a 4.5-hour tour of four independent metro butcher’s shops that can help you up your grilling, smoking, and roasting games! These fine, long-established shops offer personal services, deep knowledge and experience, and hand-cut meats raised locally or regionally. No pre-cut, shrink-wrapped meats here!
Each shop’s staff of butchers can custom-cut meat for you, suggest optimal techniques for cooking it, and help you become a better meat cook. Each makes a wide variety of scrumptious sausages and bacons smoked on-site.
You’ll drive yourself from site to site, where we’ll meet outside each shop before exploring its meat cases, both fresh and frozen. You’ll find cuts you’ve never seen or used before because these shops cut entire sides of meat animals; the more obscure cuts are frozen after cutting because there’s less demand for them. Some of them are the best!)
Because we’re touring in June, remember to bring an insulated bag to keep your purchases cold and safe. Bring your checkbook, if you have one, to save these small shops from the transaction fees that credit cards impose on them.
There will be options to buy lunch (sandwiches) at our first two stops.
You'll receive an extensive handout on the history and special offerings of each butcher's shop, along with recipes using their meats.
We will start at the farthest meat shop and work our way back to Minneapolis.
