The Story
Fat Butcher is a neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street in Lawrenceville offering locally sourced, pasture-raised, nose-to-tail meats from Western Pennsylvania farms. The shop connects Pittsburgh cooks directly with regional farmers and ranchers.
The nose-to-tail philosophy means nothing goes to waste, and the emphasis on pasture-raised, locally sourced meat means customers know exactly where their food comes from. Fat Butcher represents a return to the kind of relationship between butcher and customer that defined food shopping for generations.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's farm-to-table movement has deep roots in the region's agricultural heritage, and Fat Butcher bridges the gap between Western Pennsylvania's farming communities and the city's kitchens. Knowing your butcher and knowing your farmer is a tradition worth preserving.
