Special T Meats – Fresh, Local Butcher in Hamilton, Ohio

If meat was a love language, it would definitely be my primary language! My middle name actually means, “Person of meat,” in my native language of Swahili. As much as I enjoy fine meats, finding that high quality meat is a chore in itself. Once you’ve experienced a fresh, locally raised beef, there’s no way to go back to the Kroger meat counter! 

Two years ago, my wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to purchase a quarter cow. The meat from the locally raised cow was incredibly delicious. The ground beef was not as greasy and messy as store bought meat, it was actually a joy to cook! The other cuts (such as NY Strip and T-bones) also made for some amazing dinners! As our supply of fresh beef began to run low, we started looking around for other local butchers.

My wife came across Special T Meats one day as she was driving down Bypass 4 and Tylersville road. The store is located in a shopping strip that has featured multiple different businesses over the past couple of years. Special T meats is owned and operated by the dynamic duo of Chuck and Jeremy Toulouse. A father and son team that decided to bring their dream to life by starting Special T Meats.

When you walk into the store, you’re greeted by a warm welcome that makes you feel like an old friend. Whether it’s your first time there or you’re a regular, the staff makes you feel welcomed and are extremely helpful! The store has a long counter that features different cuts of meats, from smoked chicken wings, steak cuts, sausages and more!

Special T meats makes their own bacon, smoked pork chops, different varieties of pepperoni, pepperoni sticks and beef jerkies, smoked chicken salad as well as smoked chicken wings. If there’s something that can be smoked, then you’re sure to find it here! Oh, they also smoke cheese! Cheese! 

Recently, I had been craving some bone in pork chops cooked on the Blackstone grill! My wife and I made a stop into Special T Meats and were quickly out the door with two thick, bone in pork chops. After seasoning the chops and grilling them on the Blackstone, the first bite of these bone in pork chops was absolutely magical! I’ve bought pork chops at Kroger and other stores before, but the flavor and juiciness don’t compare to those at Special T Meats. 

Special T sources their meats from local farms across the TriState area. Not only do you get the highest quality meats, but you also get to support local businesses! Besides the amazing meats, you can also find BBQ sauces and smoking pellets for sale at the store. So if you’re in the mood for some high quality meats, be sure to stop into Special T Meats and say hi to Jeremy and his team!
