The Butcher & Larder
Chicago, Illinois
Sustainability isn't as easy as it sounds — just ask the crew at The Butcher & Larder. With the goal of becoming the Windy City's first sustainable, all whole animal butcher shop, they source their animals from small, Midwestern family farms, and custom cut the meat themselves. In addition to traditional cuts, they also make a number of sausages, patés, and deli items like ham, bacon, and corned beef. Looking to learn more about the craft? They offer butchering and charcuterie classes — sharing their CIA-gained knowledge — and have plans to hold occasional family-style dinners at the shop.
