The Swinery
Seattle, Washington
Despite its name, The Swinery does offer more than just pork products — although to leave without having a least a taste does seem inappropriate. Self-labeled as a "Temple of Porcine Love", the Swinery is Seattle's first sustainable butcher, in that it buys all of its animals — whole — from small farms within 300 miles of the shop, with a preference for certified organic products. A plethora of steaks, chops, house-made sausages, dried and smoked meats, cheeses, and, of course, bacon is available, as is a menu of freshly made burgers, fries, bacon dogs, and other goodies from the courtyard counter.
