Joseph Leonard Butchery Hogs the West Village
Eater.com
If you smell the savory aroma of bacon floating though the air in the West Village, follow your nose to Joseph Leonard, where butchers are serving up fresh cuts from two locally raised Tamworth pigs. Graphic, we know, but meeting your meat always beats mystery meat.
Among the daily specials for the week’s “Pig Takedown” are ribs, meatballs, trotters, belly, loins, and chops - act fast and you can bet on finding your favorite.
The true pork enthusiasts should also check out this video on Eater of butcher Jim McDuffee deconstructing an entire hog. (Viewer discretion advised for your squeamish Vegetarian friends.)
