I don’t know what it is about the Latona & 65th neighborhood, but it’s my new favorite place. It’s just a short walk from Wallingford, Greenlake and Roosevelt, so it’s a great destination spot for some good food and drinks. One of the newest businesses to open there is The Butcher and Baker. Here is a post from our sister site Udistrictdaily.com that will tell you all about it!
The Butcher & The Baker is ready for the 12th Man

Meet Joe. He’s the Butcher and the Baker.
Yeah yeah…we know, but we won’t go there! Joe doesn’t need another title as he is doing just fine making hand-crafted pastries, savories, and suppling us with Northwest grown meats.
Originally a restaurant owner in Renton, Joe Kennedy is known for his sweet and savory offerings. He is passionate about the art of food and loves to share that through beautiful displays and delicious menu items. As one fan on Facebook puts it, “Come for the local meat and meals. Stay for the AMAZING cheesecakes!!!”
In regards to how he sources his inventory, he stresses that he is very particular and offers organic chicken and poultry. By maintaining good communication with his suppliers, Kennedy says he is able to insure that he is providing a top quality product. He strives to seek out Northwest farmers that use free-range farming techniques and best practices.
Kennedy opened The Butcher & The Baker in November in the Latona Neighborhood just South of Greenlake. Not only is Kennedy the perfect guy to visit for everyday supplies, but he is also a great stop for your next gathering or party. In fact, Kennedy says that you should definitely stop by this weekend to stock up for your Superbowl Party!
Here are some mouthwatering menu items that will be in the shop on Friday:
Three Flavors of Marinated Chicken Wings
Hoisin BBQ
Jamaican Jerk
Spicy TapatioAnd these are available on Saturday:
Spiced Rubbed Baby Back Ribs
Three Bean Steak Chili
