Bringing Kensington Quarters Home For The Holiday Weekend

Kensington Quarters’ Meats.

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, which means summer is not far, migrations to the shore are in the works, and shorts may soon be a necessity.

Oh, and it’s grilling season, too. Which is where Kensington Quarters comes in.

While we here at Foobooz tend toward discussing the restaurant scene (meaning places to go where people will cook food for you), here’s something you can take back to your own grill.

In February, Trey Popp noted that the butcher component was one of the high points of the Kensington Quarters enterprise. And if ever there were a time to test his theory, this weekend would be it.

Selections will vary based on availability, of course, but expected to be included in the KQ butcher’s case are:

The butcher shop at Kensington Quarters is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sunday until 5 p.m.
