Our car has been with Matt in Louisiana for the past couple of months, which has meant the bus or foot power for me. I've been so eager to visit Local Pig since it opened- for non Kansas Citeans, Local Pig is a small butcher shop located in the back of beyond (the East Bottoms) that sells only happy, local, and antibiotic and steroid free meats. Matt is only back for a week before he leaves for Afghanistan- I'm looking forward to feeding him well before he leaves.
I wanted to buy everything in the shop- sausages, Campo Lindo chicken, duck breast. They are also one of the only butchers I've seen outside of New York that sells schmaltz, an essential ingredient in matzoh balls and other Jewish recipes.
In the end I held back and purchased a selection of sausages and some lovely skirt steak. I'll grill the sausages and make an Austrian potato salad on the side. Matt will grill the steak as well, and I'll make some chimichurri sauce and a lovely green salad.
Sabine and I are on the waiting list for a Local Pig Butcher Box. I can't wait until it's our turn to buy one!
