Vancouver, B.C., June 4, 2019 -
In celebration of Father's Day, Two Rivers Specialty Meats is hosting a special dinner at The Shop, the butcher's family-style eatery on June 16.
Husband and wife duo Margot and Jason Pleym founded Two Rivers Speciality Meats to connect meat lovers with their local farmers and make ethical, sustainable meat accessible for British Columbians. Working with farmers across the region, Two Rivers has been supplying restaurants and retailers across BC with the highest quality local products since 2007. Their approach to butchery is grounded in a commitment to quality, deep respect for animals, and a high bar for excellence every step of the way.
They expanded on this founding vision with the opening of The Shop; the storefront butcher shop and family-style eatery located in North Vancouver. At The Shop, meat lovers can enjoy a selection of sausages, salumi, and hand-tooled cuts made using time-honoured and traditional seam-butchery techniques for more authentic and flavourful results.
On June 16, The Shop will host an intimate feast for Father's Day, complete with meat education from head butcher Pasqual Stufano. There are 50 tickets available at $100 per person. The tickets include a house-made charcuterie board upon arrival, two side dishes, and a sauce:
- Prosciutto and fresh fig salad with baby arugula and a pomegranate vinaigrette
- Smoked ham hock mac and cheese with gruyere and a smoked parmesan crumble
- Two River's signature tallow fries with rosemary salt and jalapeno aioli
- Birch grilled asparagus in lemon butter
- Jalapeno cornbread with maple shallot butter
- Crispy fried brussel sprouts with smoked parmesan
- Spicy brandy green peppercorn sauce

- Fragrant Argentinean chimichurri
The ticket price also includes one beverage of choice, either beer, cider, wine or a non-alcoholic alternative, a custom Two Rivers wooden BBQ scraper, and a $25 Two Rivers gift card (which may not be redeemed on the night of the event).
For dinner, guests will choose from a butcher's selection of steaks, from tenderloin and ribeye to specialty cuts like the Brant Lake wagyu and the tomahawk. The steak will be custom cut by Pasqual himself, in whatever size desired, and grilled to order. The steak is not included in the ticket price and will be charged per piece at market price depending on the cut selected.
An assortment of appetizers and add on sides will also be available for order a la carte. Appetizers are $16 each and add on's are $7 each:
