From premium beef and tomahawk steaks to Wagyu burgers and specialty cuts, there’s plenty here to get the grill fired up.🌭 OLD-SCHOOL SAUSAGE-MAKING! The shop is known for its house-made sausages, kielbasa and smoked meats. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that reminds you why a great butcher is about more than simply buying meat.🐊 NOW FOR THE WILD SIDE! Ever thought about trying alligator, elk, venison, wild boar, ostrich or kangaroo? Strip District Meats has built a reputation for its exotic meat selection, too! The exact selection can vary, but this is definitely a place for adventurous eaters.🔪 MEET THE MAN BEHIND THE MEAT! Owner and master butcher Raymond “Ray” Turkas Jr. has spent more than five decades in the trade. His story is part of what makes this place special. His artistic background even influences how he presents the meat behind the counter.❤️ A PIECE OF OLD PITTSBURGH THAT’S STILL GOING STRONG!Family-owned since 1952, Strip District Meats represents the kind of independent business that gives Pittsburgh its character. In an era dominated by supermarkets and big-box stores, there’s something special about walking into a real butcher shop, seeing the selection firsthand and talking with people who know their craft.That’s what makes the Strip District such a treasure.

🏛️🔥 A PIECE OF ZELIENOPLE HISTORY… WITH A MENU THAT GOES WAY BEYOND YOUR TYPICAL TAVERN! 🍽️Some restaurants serve a meal. Others have a story that’s been part of a community for generations. Kaufman Tavern in Zelienople is both!📍 Right on South Main Street, Kaufman Tavern carries on the legacy of the historic Kaufman House, a landmark that has been part of Zelienople’s story for more than a century.Here’s a little history that makes this place special! 👇The original Kaufman House was built after the devastating fire of 1902. It later served as a hotel, housed workers from the local rubber company, and became known as the Kaufman Hotel after E.F. Kaufman acquired it in 1924. Over the years, it became a gathering place for travelers, neighbors and families.Then came another major chapter: a devastating fire in 2010, followed by years of rehabilitation. The historic building eventually reopened as Kaufman Tavern in 2020, bringing new life to a familiar landmark. ❤️AND THE FOOD? THERE’S A LOT MORE HERE THAN YOUR EVERYDAY BAR FARE! 🔥The menu brings together contemporary American cooking with Cajun, Creole and other regional influences. Just look at some of the offerings:🥩 Espresso-Rubbed Filet Mignon — served with caramelized onion whipped potatoes and red wine demi.🦞 Lobster Mac — white cheese sauce, green beans and toasted breadcrumbs.🍤 Shrimp & Grits — shrimp, andouille, tasso ham, smoked cheddar-jalapeño grits and a sunny-side-up egg.🍔 Sweet & Smokey Burger — house-ground steak burger, BBQ pork, pork belly, onion straws and smoked cheddar.🥪 Lobster Grilled Cheese — muenster cheese, bacon, pickled red onion and guacamole.And that’s only scratching the surface! From smoked wings and shareable appetizers to seafood, steaks, house-made desserts and Sunday brunch, there’s plenty to explore.🍳 DID YOU KNOW? Kaufman Tavern also offers Sunday brunch, featuring options such as French toast, crab cake eggs Benedict and a lobster omelet.🍻 There’s also a weekday happy hour, making it another reason to stop in and enjoy downtown Zelienople.What stands out to me about places like this is that they connect two things we love about Western Pennsylvania: local history and gathering around good food.We’re fortunate to have historic buildings like this that continue to play a role in their communities rather than simply becoming memories of what once was.And that’s exactly why I love highlighting restaurants throughout Pittsburgh, Western PA and the surrounding communities. Every town has stories worth telling, and sometimes those stories are sitting right behind a restaurant’s front door.📍 KAUFMAN TAVERN105 S.
