Butchers are skilled craftsmen who are trained in the art of cutting and preparing meat.

They also use their knowledge and expertise to select the best cuts of meat and to prepare them in a way that maximizes their flavor and tenderness.

Why Should You Get Meat From A Butcher Shop?

Butcher shops offer a lot of advantages over supermarkets and other grocery stores.

First, butcher shops typically have a wider variety of meats to choose from.

Second, butchers can provide expert advice on how to select and prepare meat.

Third, butcher shops often offer lower prices than supermarkets and who doesn't want to save some money?

Food & Wine said that Michigan's Best Butcher Shop Is The Gratiot Central Market

Come for a Saturday morning scene like no other, for multiple vendors under one roof, selling everything from halal meats to you-buy-they-fry gizzards, to Amish turkeys, and everything in between. It's easily one of the country's biggest, most eccentric meat bazaars, and a key piece of the Eastern Market experience.

After looking into it I can see why it was picked as the best butcher shop in Michigan.
