Halfway through my meal, I wondered if the Arrogant Butcher is authentic and real as the Grouchy Chef of Mukilteo or the Soupman (Soup Nazi) of Hell's Kitchen. There's something about bad behavior accepted widely in restaurants. Disappointingly, an arrogant butcher is a concept, not a reality.
WHY GO THERE? Good selection of comfort food in a hip industrial space. On a nice day, outside seating means people watching.
WHATCHAGOT? I enjoyed the Turkey Pastrami served in a pretzel bun. It's a marriage made in split-personality heaven: turkey meets pastrami, pretzel meets bun. Crispy rock shrimp is great tasting appetizer. On Mondays, I like the special meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Good selection of cocktails.
YOU GOT SERVED. Water doesn't go dry. Service is attentive. There's nothing arrogant about this place.
