Prospect Butcher Co. 2

This butcher shop is a great addition to the neighborhood— many fresh options, great selection of pickled veggies, and they offer smaller cuts with bones that are great for dog owners like myself. But that’s not why I’m writing this, my first ever review. No—This five stars, while deserved regardless, is for the staff specifically. I have had a long-game joke on my boyfriend for over a year. I told him that fried pig yes were a delicacy in my culture (my family is Lebanese) and that I was sad I could never find them in the U.S. I was surprised when he believed this complete lie and just kept it going, every couple months he’d mention that he’d cook them for me one day, if he could find them. Apparently he’d been asking butchers around the city. Today, to my horror, he arrived with pigs eyes (!!!). Apparently the butchers at Prospect went out of their way to get these for him when he told them his Lebanese girlfriend was homesick for a delicacy (and were apparently very sweet and happy to). They literally carved them out of today’s pig shipment. A joke gone too far, yes, but these guys are clearly a great addition to Greenpoint and will go out of their way to get (any type) of quality meat you need—for better or worse.

I love their food!! The turkey bacon jam sandwich is amazing. And the broccoli rabe sausage is stellar.

Chopped liver? SAY NO MORE!
