August 14th update

Good morning, hope everyone is enjoying a lovely weekend.

If you've been to our store this summer you may have met our great summer employees. They are both heading to university in a couple of weeks - good for them, not so much for us :-) We are looking to hire someone to help in the shop (Yonge & Lawrence in Toronto). Part time, during our store hours, Wed-Sat, 11am-5pm. If you know of anyone please let us know.

New in the shop: We have a new product for you, the Bavette Steak. Once known as a butcher’s best kept secret, the bavette is gaining popularity due to its taste, ease of cooking, size, and value for money

It’s thicker than the Skirt or Flank steaks. Getting into the specifics, it has a similarly wide grain and coarse texture, meaning the
marbling is also better quality.  This creates tenderness in the meat as the fibers are not tightly bound to one another, and secondly, it soaks up marinades allowing them to penetrate deep into the muscle fibers for a flavour intensity that tighter grains cannot match

The Bavette steak is typically used for fajitas, stir-fry, and other recipes that use beef steak strips to give tenderness and meaty flavour to the dish.  It’s also a great sharing steak – big enough to feed a crowd and easier to cook than several individual steaks.

No longer in the shop: Unfortunately our meatballs have been discontinued. We are keeping our eye out for a replacement, as it was a fan favourite.
