Butcher & Bee opened in Charleston in 2011 with the mission of serving honest-to-goodness sandwiches made with flavor combinations and food quality usually reserved for fine dining. That dream has since grown beyond sandwiches: B&B opened The Daily in 2014, a modern bodega serving locallly roasted coffee, cold-pressed juice, wine & beer, breakfast, lunch and grab-and-go provisions; Butcher & Bee Nashville, an expanded version of the original, opened in late 2015. Having outgrown it’s original space, Butcher & Bee moved to a bigger location in 2016, offering a larger, more diverse, vegetable-forward Middle Eastern leaning menu for lunch, brunch and dinner. Naturally leavened breads, pita and pastries are baked in-house daily and served at both Butcher & Bee and The Daily. In 2017, Butcher & Bee opened Workshop, a fancy food hall featuring a rotating lineup of chefs and concepts on the Upper Peninsula, and a second location of The Daily at the newly renovated Gibbes Museum in downtown Charleston. In 2019, owner Michael Shemtov and chef/partner Bryan Lee Weaver will open Tex Mex breakfast taco spot Redheaded Stranger in East Nashville.
