The Boozy Pig butchery and kitchen is a delicious double threat. On one side it’s a craft butchery serving skillfully cut beef and pork, along with house-made jerky, and locally sourced cheeses and grocery goods. On the other side, a 10-table café (you may also sit at the bar) serves up a hearty menu of inspired dishes deftly designed around their pork and beef products.

We start with the Back to Bed. It’s a house-made cheddar biscuit with sweet collard greens, chorizo sausage gravy, and farm-fresh eggs. It is only available on the weekend menu (but worth the wait). That crumbly cheese biscuit mixed with the sweetness of those greens and the savory sausagy gravy is a work of culinary cleverness.

Adding to the nearly infinite variety of local Cuban sandwiches, the Boozy Pig’s Breakfast Cubano is a tasty contender. When the server recommended chorizo instead of bacon for my sammy I was hesitant but took her advice and I'm glad. This isn’t the typical store-bought sausage! It didn’t dominate the dish; it just added a refined porky-fatty-spicy kick that made the sandwich luscious. I know, I know, it’s not a traditional Cuban, but the Boozy Pig is not a traditional sandwich shop.

Got a hankering for a midnight all-beef hot dog or grass-fed burger? There’s a meat vending machine out front dispensing butcher shop quality products 24 hours a day.

BTW- The Boozy Pig is named after Chef and owner Andrew Tambuzzo, not some inebriated swine. The Tambuzzo family has been involved in the food business (grocery, butchery, and kitchen craft) since his grandfather, Nano Joe Tambuzzo, taught him the art of sausage making when Andrew was a boy. This guy knows his butchery!
