Why Quality Still Matters, Understanding the Meat You Buy, Cuts, Grades, Bulk Buying & Buying Local

Ben Houle, owner of West Bend Sausage Plus, has spent his career mastering the butcher’s craft. After learning the trade at some of Wisconsin’s premier meat markets, he and his wife, Shannon, opened West Bend Sausage Plus in 2018, building it into one of southeastern Wisconsin’s premier destination meat markets known for handcrafted sausages, premium meats, and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or simply want to become a smarter shopper, attendees will leave with knowledge they can put to use on their very next trip to the meat counter.
