Sandwich Tuesday is getting a little rowdy.

Smoked tri-tip piled high with roasted mushrooms, red pepper aioli, chimichurri, and smoked provolone, then grilled on Italian bread until crispy, melty, and properly messy.

Green Chile Week at The Good Butcher!

This time of year in the Southwest, parking lots and strip malls come alive with the smell of fresh green chiles roasting over open flames. Next week, we’re bringing a little of that tradition to the butcher case with incredible green chiles grown right here by Mariah at Farm Baby.

Chef Aaron is putting them to work in a Chile Verde marinated pork tenderloin and Chile Verde chicken thighs, both ready to take home and cook.

Then for Sandwich Tuesday, Zander is getting weird in the best way with Chorizo Bison Pupusas topped with his house-made green chile salsa. Call it a Sandwich Tuesday and pupusa hybrid. Either way, it’s a first for us.

Stop in next week, grab some roasted green chile goodness, and help us ring in the start of fall.

Reuben Sammich!

House-made corned beef piled high with bacon-studded kraut, melty Swiss, and Russian dressing on buttery toasted bread.

Salty, tangy, cheesy, crispy, and toasted like it spent the summer following the Grateful Dead.
