Carnivores, rejoice: There are two new butcher shops in this city for you to satisfy your appetite for meat at.

Local artisan meat chain Bill the Butcher opened a fourth shop last weekend at 2911 E. Madison in the Madison Valley business district. It sells marbled steaks, dry age roasts, handmade sausage, and more tasty animal cuts, plus gourmet cheeses, marinades and rubs.

Secondly, Rain Shadow Meats opens tomorrow in the Melrose Market between Pike and Pine Streets. All meats will be cured on-site, including a special house salami available only at the shop and at Sitka and Spruce.

Time to clean your barbecue grills…
