The Butcher's Cut with Chef Nicholas Saxon - Sold Out!
Bourbon, Mezcal & Heritage Meats, an evening celebrating the rich flavors of heritage meats paired with bold spirits.
Ever wonder what your butcher keeps for himself? Now’s your chance to find out.
Join Chef Nick Saxon for The Butcher’s Cut: Bourbon, Mezcal & Heritage Meats, an evening celebrating the rich flavors of heritage meats paired with the bold character of handcrafted spirits.
The term butcher’s cut refers to those prized, flavor-packed cuts that butchers traditionally reserved for themselves rather than putting on display. Chef Nick is bringing those insider favorites to the table, showcasing exceptional cuts and the techniques that make them worth seeking out.
Each course will be thoughtfully paired with bourbon flights and bourbon-infused cocktails, with crafted mezcal adding another layer of smoky, complex flavor to the experience. Expect a night of great food, distinctive spirits, and a few secrets from behind the butcher counter.
Come hungry, sip something exceptional, and discover what happens when a butcher’s best-kept secrets meet a perfectly crafted pour.
Popular Butcher’s Cuts (Beef) we will be tasting:
Hanger Steak (The Original Butcher's Steak): Hangs from the diaphragm area between the rib and loin. There is only one per animal, packed with rich, beefy flavor and high tenderness.
Teres Major: A tender, lean muscle from the shoulder (chuck) with a rich flavor similar to filet mignon
Picanha (Coulotte): A prized cap of the sirloin with a thick layer of fat that renders down for deep flavor
Flat Iron: Cut from the top blade of the chuck; it is remarkably well-marbled and tender despite coming from a hardworking muscle group
Outside Skirt: The diaphragm muscle of the cow, prized for fajitas and high-heat grilling due to its intense beefy taste
Each Butcher Cut will be prepared differently with various seasoning & wet marinades. Accompaniments of vegetable & starches will be added.
Bourbon & Cocktails will be paired with the "Chef's Creations" of the featured Butcher Cut's.
