Inspired by Old World butcheries and bistros, Big Lou’s Butcher Shop satisfies discerning carnivores with a focus on fresh, sustainable, and local meats. Butchers introduce their carving know-how in small, group-focused, two-hour classes illuminating the art of butchery. After a 10-minute lecture, students in the Sausage 101 course learn how to break down prime cuts of pork, chicken, and beef before a send-off to the grinder. Sausage scholars then guide meat-prepping neophytes as they blend eight different flavour combinations, such as breakfast sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and sun-dried-tomato links. Students finish their masterworks by snugly swaddling the mixture in fashionable casings and then depart with up to 8 pounds of sausage for at-home consumption or bronzing and trophy-case display.

In order to appease the dining-room gods, Basic Home Butchery starts with butchery’s humble roots, teaching participants how to convert simple butcher’s roasts, whole chickens, and secondary cuts into table-worthy meals. The Whole Hog class forms carving companions as participants work together to break down a full swine into its primary cuts. The hands-on instruction takes pork proteges through the process of conveying a pig from butcher’s table to store case, leaving students with 20 pounds of meat to take home or decoupage a chair with. Big Lou’s Butcher Shop purchases its meats fresh from local pork planters such as Sloping Hill and Polderside Farms.
