Porter Road Butcher. Local, Fresh, Healthier, and Happier!


Who really makes everything from scratch? Come on, I’m sure you’ve hosted a dinner party and instead of planning a menu you decided to watch Downton Abbey…or procrastinate in some other fashion. It happens to all of us and it’s all right.

After tonight, my motto is this: if you’re going to cheat, you might as well give it a go and do a good job at it.

No, no, I’m not talking about doing anything illegal. I am talking about “cheating” as in not wanting to labor over a boeuf bourguignon or a tarte aux pommes all afternoon. My point is if you decide that you don't feel like preparing something from scratch, you better make sure that your substitute is up to par.

And…. I have the perfect solution for all of you Nashvillians out there who are scrambling to prepare for your dinner party or just want to serve a gourmet meal, without all of the work.


They know what’s up when it comes to pork ossobucco. That’s for sure. The meat literally falls off the bone with just the slightest touch of your fork. 

Check it out. All I had to do was heat up the pork with my own vegetable broth, roast some rosemary potatoes and leeks, and wash a bunch of spinach. In thirty minutes, you can prep, roast, and get dressed for the evening! 

Pork Ossobucco 


Porter Road Butcher offers a variety of prepared foods such as: chili, BBQ pulled pork, breakfast casserole, meatballs and sauce, pate, and of course, pork ossobucco. You can buy baguettes, sauces, stocks, chowders, and choose from an assortment of cheeses.

They also sell beef, pork, chicken, and lamb that can be cut to your desire. Care for some catering? They do that too! 

Did I say that everything is locally produced?
