I spent my childhood on the waters of  the Puget Sound, boating throughout Washington’s San Juan Islands and Canada’s Gulf Islands.  Over the weekend we were at Roche Harbor and I stopped in for a winter lunch at the Lime Kiln Cafe.

If you are up on San Juan Island, don’t miss Roche Harbor’s picturesque setting and delicious food.  The Lime Kiln Cafe has melt in your mouth, house-made cake doughnuts and a one of a kind hazelnut crusted veggie burger even the meatlovers will enjoy.

As you know, I’m big into getting everything I can locally and Bill the Butcher is right up my alley. They offer local, organic, grass fed meats and poultry and have a great selection to chose from.

The first time I walked into their store, located in Woodinville, I received a friendly and outgoing “Hello, what can we get for you?”, the exact customer service you expect from a neighborhood butcher. The gal that was helping me proceeded to offer me delicious samples of salami, pepperoni and some of their jerky.

They have several different types of meats, from beef to lamb to wild boar, and if they don’t have something you are looking for they will try to order it in. In fact I’ve got a pound of wild boar waiting to be picked up as we speak!

On my last trip out to Bill the Butcher, I learned that they are expanding into several Seattle neighborhoods, including Laurelhurst near University Village. They now serve the Woodinville and Laurelhurst neighborhoods and may soon be coming to a neighborhood near you.

Check them out and let me know what you think!
