Local butcher helps carve up a delicious holiday weekend

ATLANTA - Memorial Day Weekend is more than just the unofficial start of summer - it's also the start of outdoor grilling season!  But before you fire yours up and start preparing the family feast, a local butcher wants to make sure you've got what you need to make it the best yet.Rusty Bowers is the owner of Pine Street Market in Avondale Estates, which is a retail store specializing in handmade artisan meats including sausage, bacon, and more.  Bowers butchers all items in-house, and locally sources pork for his products. 

Along with selling meat products, Bowers and his team host classes for those interested in butchering and cooking, including a Whole Hog class on June 4, during which students will learn to break down a whole pig and cut their own pork chops.

Good Day Atlanta's Paul Milliken spent some time at Pine Street Market with Rusty, getting some tips on choosing the right cuts of meat and grilling them up for the perfect Memorial Day cookout.  For more information click here.
