If you’re looking for the best selection of meats of all kinds (including incomparable Berkshire Pork) look no further than this establishment. Sadly, Fred is no longer with us but his meat ethic continues unabated, with his son and new partner keeping the torch lit. Located about midway between Albany and Saratoga Springs (and now in Slingerlands, NY), you can’t do better than this establishment. http://fredthebutcher.com

- Upstate NY, by upstate I don't just mean 30 miles north of NYC ;-)

My current cookers include a Shirley Fabrication 24x36 patio model; Weber Performer with the Slow-n-Sear 2.0 & Drip & Griddle; Pit Boss Series 2 propane smoker & SnS Travel Kettle.
Straight Whiskey: I'm a bourbon guy. All time favorite Pappy Van Winkle 12 year. Standard go to Blantons
Blended Whiskey: James Oliver American Whiskey
I also enjoy an occasional cigar
I live just down the road from the original location! I haven't found anything I haven't liked. The lamb is always off the hook good and he carries a great selection of prime beef including brisket at competitive prices. Make sure if you have questions you get one of the seasoned guys. They have a lot of kids working the counter that aren't as knowledgeable as some of the more experienced (dare I say older) guys.
