The Local Butcher

If you think the "market" in the Denver Central Market is hyperbole, take a look around the RiNo food hall: The space houses a bakery, fish- and cheesemongers, a grocer and a butcher. The latter is another example of an outfit whose name is meant to be taken literally; the Local Butcher gets its beef from Musik Farm in Weld County and its pork from Cone Ranch in Julesburg, and processes the animals at Innovative Foods Co. in Evans. You'll also find poultry, Colorado lamb and housemade sausages at the butcher counter, and a small menu of sandwiches served on bread from the neighboring Izzio Artisan Bakery. Eating local isn't a chore at this shop; it's a joy.
