The purveyor of these prime cuts is Darien native, Peter Crawford, whose passion for great tasting meats and the culinary experience is rooted in his Darien childhood and time spent in his grandmother’s kitchen that continued to simmer with his experiences at renowned restaurants, in culinary school, as a private chef to the stars, and under the tutelage of some of New York’s finest chefs. The new Darien Butcher Shop has been quietly opened seven days a week since spring in its bright, white bead board chic location at 13 Grove St. in Darien (nestled between The Melting Pot and Fjord’s Fisheries).
Now, after a busy summer of reconnecting with Darien friends and listening to customers’ ideas and suggestions to fine tune the selections, Peter and his expert crew are ready to welcome the entire community to celebrate an official Grand Opening on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. which they have appropriately dubbed, “A Butcher’s Block Party.”
The all-day free, fun, family event will feature hourly door prizes, giveaways, and a continuous flow of tastings of the store’s favorite hors d’oeuvres and recipes. Children can pick up a coloring contest entry form with the chance to win valuable prizes.
Visitors will enjoy Grand Opening specials on tasty prime NY Strip and find cases filled with some of the shop’s other custom crafted items like house-made sausages and gourmet burgers to take home for an awesome cookout. With “Great taste” being the primary driver in Peter’s sourcing of products for the Darien Butcher Shop, his meat locker is filled with a wide selection of prime beef that is ethically raised on a vegetarian diet that is hormone- and antibiotic-free.
