Award-Winning Bangor Meat Man Is A Cut Above

Brad Lueck, a meat processor at Hansen’s IGA in Bangor, enjoys coming up with new meat recipes for his employer. “I like to try out different things,” Lueck said.

Unlike many grocery stores, Hansen’s has a wide assortment of meat products created in-house and doesn’t just stick to a few tried-and-true recipes.

“Our meat department is a difference-maker — it’s what separates us from our competitors,” said store owner Leo Hansen. “Because our meats are made right here and there’s no time lag, they have a fresher taste.”

Hansen added that Lueck is in charge of the store’s smokehouse and decides what is made and when it’s made.
