In the quaint town of Cleveland, MS, not far from the Arkansas border, you’ll find the Delta Meat Market. Located inside the Cotton House Cleveland Hotel, Delta Meat Market is a butcher shop, restaurant, bar and boutique grocery all in one, and at the helm is James Beard Award-nominated Chef Cole Ellis.

Originally from Cleveland, Chef Cole has spent time serving up amazing flavors in Charleston, Nashville and Kiawah Island before returning to his hometown in 2013 to open the Delta Meat Market. In 2019, he moved the market from its original location into the Cotton House Cleveland Hotel, where he also opened Bar Fontaine on the rooftop.

Chef Cole serves up fresh local fare and homemade specialties in the market, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. While the Delta Meat Market menu isn’t necessarily extensive, it does shine for its thoughtful concepts and unique flavors. Chef Cole shared his recipe for the pickled shrimp banh mi sandwich with us so even if we can’t make it to the market, we can sample some of the goodness that awaits when we do make it to Cleveland for a visit.

Enjoy!
