Patak Butcher

Robert and I went to Patak Butcher the other day. Our friends Joanna and Herman have been telling us about this place forever so we finally decided to make the trip and we are glad we did.

Patak Butcher has been open since 1981 and they have a wide variety of meats from all around the world. Patak sausages are hand-made, twisted and smoked in their factory with no substitutes or fillers.

Fresh products include Ground Chuck, Beef Roladen, Ox Tail, Pork Chops and many others. Remember that if you come on Monday this selection will be very limited.

Thanks to the twin Fessman smokehouses they can produce up to 20,000 pounds of product per day. You can purchase Canadian Bacon, Smoked Salmon or Trout and Smoked Pork Chops to name a few.

Their cured products are dried in a specialized Travaglini Italian drying room so they have plenty of space for a variety of meats. Dried cured products include but aren’t limited to Westphalian Ham, Hungarian Segelli, Moldavia Salami and German Landjager. You can ask for a taste of anything you’d like.

They also carry a wide variety of imported items from around the world. These include cheeses, chocolates, cookies, jams and condiments.

The bread is amazing. Get a round of European bread while you're there. Or maybe some good rye.

Be ready to stand in line. It’s become quite a popular place. Especially right before a holiday. Make friends with the people around you. We met Erica who had been going to Patak for 20 years and she helped us so much. She’s the one who suggested the European bread, the pork tenderloin stuffed with sausage and explained what many of the products were and the best way to cook them.

The hours of operation and directions can be found on this link:

It’s worth the trip!
