Its a Downtown Eastside landmark, with its iconic neon pig flying proudly above the Hastings sidewalk. The reincarnated Save-on-Meats goes a long way to providing Vancouverites with all their butchering needs. With house-made burgers, sausages, and patés complementing a wide selection of free-run and organic meats, SoM has what you need. And when you frequent the place, youll be supporting a business that in turn supports its neighbourhood, offering employment opportunities, meal programs, and cooking classes to DTES locals. But dont worry if youre not from around here theyll teach you how to cook as well, and just in time for the long weekend.
