A Eugene Chef Likes Us
Rocky Maselli, local chef and owner of Osteria Sfizio in Eugene (http://www.sfizioeugene.com/), who has been featured in the national media, buys his meats from Long’s exclusively. “I don’t need to buy meat anywhere else. My vision for Osteria Sfizio Italian food and drink was to showcase the local bounty of Oregon through cooking seasonal and regional Italian cuisine. Long’s Meat Market is a natural partner for Sfizio. They have everything that the restaurant needs and if they don’t have it Mike can get it or custom cut anything. They custom grind our hamburger meat and sausage, supply the restaurant with grass fed and humanly raised chicken, pork, lamb and beef. Family run butcher shops are a dying breed in the U.S. as many have closed over the last 20 years because they can’t compete with volume buying power of super markets and club stores. For quality and custom service for my restaurant Long’s is the only way to go.”

Our weekly Saturday parking lot BarBQ will be continuing through August every Saturday.

Scott Wooley will be cooking up hot dogs, sausages, bratwurst, kobi hamburgers, half chickens and baby back ribs from 11am – 3pm, all at reasonable prices! Craft beers and Oregon wines are also available at our deli.
