"Originally a Brooklyn butcher shop founded by partners who later expanded into restaurants, this business has opened a Hudson outpost and additional retail locations while operating food programs and restaurants that lean toward casual tavern and steakhouse fare. Its menus have included items like shrimp cocktail, spicy meatballs, oysters Rockefeller, rigatoni, and burgers, and the owners have a history of launching neighborhood concepts and filling local pork/charcuterie gaps left by longtime purveyors." - Melissa McCart
