My Day at Cleaver's

One of the things I pride myself on as owner of Queen City Concierge is education. The journey we take will teach us so much as long as we are open to learning the life lessons that are thrown our way daily. So when Mike Haggar and his staff at Cleaver's Meat Market invited me to come learn a thing or two, I jumped at the chance.

From the time I arrived at Cleaver's I was welcomed with warm smiles and happy hello's. Mike threw me an offical Cleaver's apron and showed me where the magic happens. Sure, anyone can peek in the window and see the butchers in action, but I got into the room and wore my own apron. How many people get to say that? Boom!

As I watched Mike slice up some tenderloin steaks and listened to him describe the different kinds of cuts, I couldn't help but visualize Mike as a Jedi. I swear he didn't even look down at the meat as he trimmed off the fat, wrapped the perfectly-proportioned cuts with bacon, and told me the appropriate time for aging cuts of meat. No, he didn't cut the meat with his mind or anything, but it was still pretty amazing. I guess that's what 40 years of experience can do.

Next up, I got a tour of the fridge. As expected, it was big and filled with cold items, but none were more cherished than the homemade bleu cheese dressing that is made in house. I also spent some time standing in awe of the spectacular wine selection Cleaver's Meat Market has to offer. Did you know they serve by the glass and have an outdoor balcony in the back of the store? I've been there over a dozen times this year and never noticed that, but now we all know so give me a call when you want to meet there to unwind for a bit. After all was said and done, I truly enjoyed my time at Cleaver's and can't wait for my next visit. The most important thing is that I can always count on the "Meat Guys" to make me look good!

Thank you, Mike Haggar and the Cleaver's Staff!
