Our Story
From a local farmers market stand to Canada-wide shipping. 13 years of learning what meat lovers really want.
Where It All Started
Meatatarian was started by Tony Vagopoulos—a guy who grew up behind a butcher's counter. Three generations of butchers. Meat in the blood. The kind of childhood where you learn what real meat tastes like before you learn to ride a bike.
Today, Tony's carrying that legacy forward with Meatatarian—premium cured meats made for people who know the difference. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just handcrafted, high-protein perfection with old-school roots and the kind of flavour that makes you close the cooler lid so nobody else finds your stash.
We're not reinventing the wheel. We're just making damn good meat sticks the way they're supposed to be made. Now shipping Canada-wide.
The Craft Beer of Meat Snacks
Here's the thing about meat snacks: they're a commodity. Most are white-label products made in the same facilities. What makes the difference is curation and care.
We work with federally licensed Canadian facilities to source the best quality products. Then we taste-test everything. If it doesn't make us reach for another stick, it doesn't make the cut.
Think of us as your meat sommelier. We've done the hard work so you can stock your cooler with confidence.

We know what we're doing. 13 years of face-to-face customer feedback proves it.
Fun
Meat snacks should be enjoyed, not overthought. Cold beer, good company, great snacks.
Proudly Canadian
Cold beer, meat sticks, hockey, Canadiana. We're not slapping maple leaves on everything, but we are authentically, unapologetically Canadian.
We ship from coast to coast, and every order helps support Canadian business. That's something worth raising a stick to.
