The Meat Shop open for business in Commerce Twp.

A new, family-owned smoke meat shop is open for business in Commerce Township, operating out of a 120 year old historical building that was recently renovated. The Meat Shop smokes 300 lbs. of high quality meat each day, including Prime Creekstone Farms brisket that's only available to them and a BBQ facility located in Austin Texas, "Franklin Barbecue". 

Master smoker and owner Craig Kilmer joined us on The Nine to give us a glimpse at some of his meats. For more information on the shop, visit www.themeatshopandcatering.com. They're located at 507 W. Commerce Road.
