Chop Butchery & Charcuterie
There's no shortage of great places to grab a bit to eat in Portland, but if you're looking to do some cooking of your own, it's a good idea to start your shopping at Chop Butchery & Charcuterie. Located in the City Market on the northwest side of town, this artisan shop handcrafts all their products in house from meats sourced from local, humanely-run farmers and purveyors. They offer sausages, meats, charcuterie, pates, and even salami, which is made in their own USDA meat curing facility. Oh, and be sure to keep an eye out for their daily sandwich specials, which include a porchetta sandwich — hog stuffed with sausage and baked for six hours, served on a ciabatta roll with peppers, onions, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and mustard — that's only available on Fridays and Saturdays.
