Southern Craft Butchers -- Raleigh, NC

May 20, 2017, 01:37 PM

I completely stumbled upon this place as I was going to a local spice shop (Savory Spice Shop) in Lafayette Village in Raleigh.

It was Southern Craft Butchers' grand opening TODAY! I had no clue. It's a nice Butchers Market. Sure, you're paying more, but it's all local cows and pigs. They buy the whole animal then butcher it in house.

They do not have USDA labels, so I kind of wonder what you're getting. It'd be nice if they had it all labeled.

They don't have a ton of local products in there yet, but hopefully they will as they grow. Today was grand opening, so cutting them some slack.

They had a massive sampler plate for their grand opening. It consisted of braised beef, pulled pork slider, cheeseburger slider, and sausage and onions. IMPRESSIVE! Glad I caught them on their grand opening!

I'm curious how they will fare in the coming months. Hopefully good!

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

I know, right! Don't want them to go out of business like the Kamado Grill did a few miles away.

They'd have to be mighty incredible Collard greens at $5.99 per pound! Good luck to them, though.

If the chicken is any example, they have good product. I'm making one of that brand today - they are awesome, with yellowish skin!
