I remember the first time coming by this place, after they changed the name, and one of the guys working here had a BBQ going... it was raining yet he was just roasting some sausages for anyone who was willing to trek through this rain along Hastings. That was awhile back, and now this place has been another go to in terms of fine meat products for me. Last time I came with a 'nomnomnivore' as she had some grocery shopping to do and wanted some premium sausages for a brunch she was cooking up... as she was hanging with me, and this is my hood, this was where we were going to go!
I guess I haven't been here in awhile as I see a funky hipster individually bulb lit 'BACON' sign on the backend. It was early on a Saturday and everytime you come in here, everything in the meat fridge while you window shop looks fresh and screams buy me now and bring me home to eat! From your raw meats, to ground meat in tube form, this place is ready to serve your ethical meat needs, they also have cold cuts like prociutto too.
Just going through a list of goodies they have here.... dry aged beef, multiple different cuts of beef, veal, poultry (if the red meat doesn't jive with you), lamb, pork, exotic meats... even 'CUTE BUNNY' I found in the freezer, bison, elk, frozen pies, flours, cheeses, sauces, even syrup in this tiny little place, and a staff that understands where their stuff is from, you will be taken care of.
Our sausages were great, a definite reason to return alone even if you buy nothing else, wished that one of them didn't burst out of the casing while cooking it, but obviously the meaty goodness wanted to bust right out, and some knifework had to be done to make a picture perfect presentation at brunch the next day.
If you live around the Hastings-Sunrise area here's another good grocery shopping place to hit up your protein needs!
