The Ploughman

Artisanal Cheese / Charcuterie / Bottled Beer / Growlers
Proprietors: Alice & Dante Piacenza

This pint-size South Slope specialty shop offers a "limited selection" of "top-quality" foodstuffs, from "fantastic" artisanal cheeses and charcuterie to baked goods, high-end chocolates, oils and vinegars and lots of locally produced comestibles, along with beers offered by the growler; prices are on the "steep" side, but "friendly and knowledgeable" service adds value.

Tidy little shop in the South Slope used to be called Grab. Now, as the Ploughman, it has essentially the same stuff, but more of it: fancy cheeses and charcuterie (try the beef bresaola, which is like prosciutto), and an amazing selection of craft beers. A half dozen taps are ready to fill your growler. Show up when a brewer is on hand and you can do some sampling. Otherwise, trust the staff...
