Is there such a thing as a butcher that meets the following criteria:
-is not as asshole
-is affordable
-has good quality meat
-is cooperative and willing to make custom blends/orders?
Based on past experiences, I’d say no, please tell me otherwise.

I had a very good experience @ J.Dewars/Newton. No attitude, a bit pricey-yes, very good meats and they happily made a custom blend of burger on the spot!
I had the opposite experience the two times I visited. Incredibly rude, full of attitude when I wanted a custom blend (plus they screwed up the order) and they are overpriced.
Sulmona in the North End.
Yeah, I’ve heard good things, gotta check it out.
We use O’Driscolls in Northboro, MA. It’s about a 50 minute drive from the Boston area, but they are top notch, family owned and great people.
I’ll drive anywhere for a good butcher.
Have you tried the newly opened Meat House in Coolidge Corner? Few experiences to judge on, but so far so good.
nope, just drove by it for the first time this week, have to check it out.
