Louisville, Kentucky, recently became home to a craft butcher shop specializing in humanely raised meats. With everything from fresh cuts and house-made charcuterie to specialty sandwiches and wood-fired pizzas, the artisan butcher is the ultimate destination for meat-loving foodies.
The Red Hog butcher shop is "Louisville’s first local craft butcher shop" and it exclusively sells pork, beef, lamb and poultry sourced from local farms. The shop also takes care to ensure that the meat it sells is raised using humane, sustainable and ethical farming practices, so that consumers can be sure that the products they buy are better for themselves and for the planet. In addition to the cooked and cured cuts of high-end meat, the shop also serves up gourmet condiments, charcuterie and house-made dishes such as pizza and meat sandwiches.
