A communiqué from the CDC (Cooks of DailyCandy)

It has come to our attention that a particularly potent strain of swine fever is passing through West Seattle.

Don’t be alarmed. Everyone wants in on it.

Gabriel Claycamp’s long-awaited second act opens today. The Swinery deli and charcuterie offers artisanal delicacies like house-made bacon, pastrami, venison paté, and rosemary brown sugar breakfast sausage.

Looking for lunch? To-go porcine-centric sandwiches span bacon dogs, BLTs, and a ham and gruyere melt.

Fresh meats (everything sourced within a 300-mile radius) like beef, duck, goose, lamb, mutton, goat, and squab let you get creative in the kitchen. Wine, hard-to-find cheeses, and foodie staples like veal bones and salt cod will add up to one-stop shopping.

It’s no wonder everyone’s going hog wild.

The Swinery, 3207 California Avenue Southwest (206-932-4211 or swinerymeats.com).
