Event Overview

SWINE & WINE! Butchery, Culinary & Winery Experience at CITY WINERY!

COME, CUT, CAVORT, CONSUME AND CARRY HOME MEAT!

Announcing our most popular Butcher Class - Our “Heritage Whole Hog Breakdown”. We welcome everyone with a wide range of culinary and carnivorous backgrounds who have passion or simply a curiosity for the art of butchery. In this class, Dabblers will have the opportunity to breakdown a Heritage Berkshire Hog carcass from Slagel Family Farms - raised naturally without antibiotics.

Our famous RMM Cut, Taste & Take Home Butcher class offers foodies, grillers, home chefs and meat lovers the opportunity to learn the art of “Whole Hog Butchery” from some of the best Master Butchers in Chicago. This is not just a demo but a real hands-on meat cutting experience under the supervision and tutelage of our great Master Butchers! We’ll guide you through the process from the moment the hog carcass is delivered to when it reaches your taste buds!! Learn knife skills, butchering techniques and how to breakdown a hog carcass into tasty pork cutlets, tenderloins, roasts and ground! You’ll then take each part and break it into standard and some special cuts traditionally not found at your local grocer! You’ll feel the meat between your fingers, experience the smooth cut of the knife, smell the fresh aromas and be part of the renaissance of the local butcher.
Participants will receive a FREE RMM Baseball and TAKE MEAT HOME! SIGN UP NOW!
