SOMETHING very special is arriving to Matt The Butcher on Russell Street this week with the opening of Muerte Deli and Sandwich Bar.

From this Thursday, April 6, Scot Ross will be making and serving up a range of delicious sandwiches like BLTs, chili dogs, pulled pork wraps, meatball subs and others made to order, with a whole range of salads also available.

Originally from Paisley in Scotland, Scot came to Tralee nearly 20 years ago. He trained to be a chef at the IT Tralee back in 2009 and after qualifying he worked in the West End in Fenit for 10 years.

In the wake of COVID, he founded Muerte BBQ (with the apt tagline “Barbecue To Die For”)   and he hasn’t looked back since, serving amazing food for all kinds of private parties — birthdays, anniversaries, Communions, Confirmations, corporate events etc.

What’s so special about Muerte BBQ is Scot’s method of cooking the meat. He takes a joint of pork or beef and cooks it for a minimum of six hours in a smoker over charcoal and wood chunks which results in incredible flavours in the melt-in-the-mouth tender meat.

The meats used in sandwiches and wraps at his new venture in Muerte Sandwich & Deli bar, will come from his smoker and are sure to go down a treat.

Scot will be open Monday to Saturday at Matt The Butcher, so make sure to call in and sample some of his mouthwatering options.
