In 1958, in Charleston, West Virginia, the first box of Buzz Buttered Steaks came off the production line at Hy-Grade Sales and a legend was born.  A “deliciously different” meal made from pure beef and real butter, Buzz Buttered Steaks quickly gained popularity on family dinner tables and in lunch pails throughout the Appalachian coalfields and beyond.  Easy to prepare, the steaks caught on as fans created their own recipes ranging from sandwiches to center-of-the-plate entrees.  More than fifty years later, loyal fans of Buzz Buttered Steaks remember them being “the first thing my mother ever let me cook.”

The legend around Buzz Buttered Steaks grew even wider in 1976 when thieves stole a Buzz truck containing more than six tons of the popular product.  By the time a multi-state manhunt ended, more than a dozen well-fed accomplices were charged with distributing the stolen goods.  As publicity around the case grew, Buzz Buttered Steaks experienced record sales and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, you can find Buzz Buttered Steaks for sale in most independent grocery stores in Southern West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and parts unknown.  If you check the freezer aisle and can't find your favorite product, please consider approaching the meat counter and asking for our product by name.  That's how they know the product would sell in their stores!
