RETAIL: Cochon Butcher


As far as retail spaces go, Cochon Butcher in New Orleans is impeccable.
A space where form + function are perfectly balanced; Cochon Butcher boasts its very own curing room + perhaps unsurprisingly, all artisan meats + sausages are made on the premises.
With a nod to 'old world meat markets', this ranks among my favourite retail concepts'.
They offer small dishes to take away, or eat in the cafe-restaurant.
The 'bar food' menu is mouth watering, here's a taster;
  • Butcher chicken wings with sweet potato hot sauce + blue cheese
    Pizzetta with orange marmalade, Butcher bacon + spinach
    Iceberg wedge with tomato, guanciale + basil buttermilk dressing
    LA crabmeat 'au gratin'
    Garganelli pasta with Butcher sausage + peppers
    Truffled mac'n'cheese
    Foie gras torchon with peach jam + brioche
    Slow cooked pork tongue with cilantro, pickled onion + cabbage
    Chorizo + potatoes
    Duck Slider

    ...A Butcher by trade, my old man would be proud.
