Imagine this: East Nashville with it's very own butcher shop. Yes people, a real butcher shop with real butchers right here in our neighborhood. Are you excited yet? You should be. I know I am. The other day I told Chris Carter and James Peisker, the masterminds behind this enterprise, that I've never wanted a business to succeed more than this one. And I truly mean that. It feels like the icing on top of the cake, ya know?
I don't know about you, but to be able to walk into Porter Road Butcher (the location of the shop is still to be determined, so stay tuned) and buy whatever cuts of meat you fancy that day, maybe even some handmade sausages or pate' or a handful of local produce while you're at it, is pretty sweet living. And did I mention that Chris and James will be using only pasture raised, grass fed animals (like this pig in the photos)? Even better. These guys have the highest of standards, which is quite possibly the most important quality to have in your local butcher.
As I mentioned above, Chris and James are in the midst of finding the perfect spot for their butcher shop. But in the meantime, you can find them at the East Nashville Farmers Market every Wednesday from 3:30 to 6:30 selling Italian Sausage, English Bacon, Pate', Bratwurst, Head Cheese, etc. (FYI, the menu changes each week). Oh, and they share a tent with The Bloomy Rind, so if you're in the mood for some meat and cheese pairings, this is a pretty great tent to find yourself at.
