There’s a new butcher in town.
On April 12, the Meat Counter: Butcher & Fine Foods opened at 7406 Madison St.
With the launch of his own butcher shop after six years in the business, Michael Foreman is sourcing cuts of beef, chicken and pork from Illinois and Wisconsin farmers.
At a grand opening May 8, the Meat Counter will expand from its retail butcher shop, launching its hot food menu and online ordering. Then, Foreman will also start booking for dining events, where he will cook his butcher shop offerings for guests after hours.
Foreman previously told the Review that he wants to provide locals with quality, knowledgeable service.
“I want to give people another option or an idea that this sort of thing is possible in their community,” Foreman said. “When they want something good, they know where to come, and it’ll be cut by people who know what they’re doing, too.”
The Meat Counter is open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
