This week in Meat at Forbes Meat Company.

Lobster roll weekend is 10/24 and 10/25. We love lobster roll weekend with the house-made lemon meringue pie, whoopie pies, and all the other tasty offerings the team makes.

Sando special for Thursday, Spicy 🤌🤌🤌Meatball Sub.

Here’s what Chef Rob has to say about the spicy meatball sub,

The write up on the Sando this week is: meatball hoagie with house made meatballs, spicy marinara, smoked provolone, chopped cherry peppers and Castelvetrano olives on an amoroso roll.

Rob also took this really cool picture.

Our bodega continues to grow and if you want to make the spicy meatball sando at home we have the amoroso rolls, cheese, sauce, meatballs (house-made) and olives in the bodega. Just ask Jason for a little tour and he will guide you well.

Jason is incredibly passionate about making the Bodega at Forbes a destination for Tucsonans.

Don’t for get to grab some local b**r and local w**e, we’ve got it all.

True story. When I was 16 years old, which as 37 years ago. I was an apprentice at Rancho Market and we had this customer named Charlie who would order a 3 inch porter house and tell us not to trim any of the fat. When I cut this 60 day dry aged BarXBar Beef Est. 1879 wagyu today it reminded me of him. I love that I can remember him so vividly after all these years and so many of you in the same fashion as I remember Charlie and that first butcher shop job I had. This career has been such a rad adventure that has taken me to the east coast and back here to Tucosn. My teachers told me I could travel the world with this trade and they were right. Thank you Jim and Joe Randall for teaching me and of course my friend Hector Cortez who taught me so much as well. I learned so much from these men and I hope I can teach this trade to many more people and that they too can create so amazing memories in this short life.

I freaking love what I do, the product I get to work with, the fisherman, ranchers, mongers at Nelson’s Meat + Fish, and the team I get to do all this amazing work with, the team at Forbes Meat Company.

You won’t find a better butcher shop, seafood selection, and our brasserie, bodega and bar is definitely one of the best in Tucosn. When it comes to our brasserie I know we’re surrounded by some greats. For instance Charro Steak, The Parish, 5 Points Farmers Market, The Coronet, Tito & Pep, TIME MARKET, Lindys on 4th, Mama Louisa’s Italian Restaurant, , and so many other great restaurants like Kingfisher and then you’ve got the best bars as well like, Ronnie Hardcase Batch, Owls Club 1538, and the list goes on.

I’m just so grateful to be a small part of this very large and talented community and I appreciate the love and patience as we learn to be as good as you all.

With love,

Ben Forbes

Our Crown Jewel, Julian looked so happy when I walked by I had to capture this image of Jewels in action making his sando special. It’s a beast of a sando and Julian is a beast of a prep cook. Thanks for everything and I love the bandana. We should all wear bandanas and not allow mason to wear his.
