Company description

Our team is made up of passionate individuals with extensive restaurant, meat, seafood, cheese, and business experience. A major priority for our business is seeking out unique producers and cultivating relationships. Getting on a plane or taking a road trip to meet suppliers is a major part of the process. It is fun, educational and a few good stories always come from it. Most of all, we learn what goes into producing high quality beef, pork, fish, cheese, etc. The good producers understand how respect for the animal and the environment go hand in hand, and they work together to produce a high-quality product. The counters at Son of a Butcher are the evolution of a collective dream shared with our team to operate the best full service butcher shop and cut to order cheese shop in the South.
