Julia Child told us that the way to learn about great food is to find the best there is. In Calgary, Second to None Meats fits the bill.

Specializing in organic and free range meats and poultry, the partners at Second to None own their own cattle ranch, have a smoke house on the premises, and come from a family of food service aficionados. The partners opened the shop in 2004 and now have two locations in Calgary.

The naturally raised beef (Galloway and Highland breed) are custom cut and specially packaged by Master Butchers. Here’s a thrifty tip: check out their website for weekly specials to save as much as 50%. 

When the smoker is going you will be hard pressed to ignore your craving for the comforting taste of beef or back bacon. Leo, the veteran sausage maker, comes in a few days a week to turn out his signature ham and bratwurst rings.

Impress the family at get-togethers by gracing the table with a fresh or smoked ham. Give tradition a twist with a smoked turkey. The more adventurous can order a turduckin, a de-boned chicken stuffed into a de-boned duck stuffed into a de-boned turkey. 

The professionals at Second to None are dedicated to providing food that greatly improves the health and quality of their customer’s lives. Shopping here guarantees you the best of the best.

Why settle for anything less?
