Meat Up

Salt & Time owner Ben Runkle talks to CultureMap about his new brick-and-mortar butcher shop, which he hopes will become a "neighborhood place" where folks can "grab the stuff you need for the week, and sit down and enjoy a meal." This is his first time developing a menu; they're starting with sandwiches for now but he hopes to expand with soups and salads in the future. Still, Runkle emphasizes that "that we aren't a restaurant — we are a butcher shop." [CultureMap Austin]
