The butcher shop was located in the northeast Portland part of the Kerns neighborhood. It sold various sandwiches,[1] paninis, and kabobs,[2] as well as meat products such as bacon, brisket, cutlets, ribs, and sausage.[3]

History

edit

Tails & Trotters was established in 2007, and began operating from a farmers' market booth in 2009.[4] The business opened a "micro-restaurant" in late 2012.[5][6]

In 2017, the shop was damaged by an electrical fire.[7][8] Owners Aaron and Kelly Silverman announced plans to close in 2022 because of rising business costs and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
