Lee Meisel was raised on his family's certified Angus cattle ranch in Sioux County, North Dakota. Schooled in old-world style butchery, sausage making and meat preparation methodology, Lee brought his trade to Lawrence, Kansas in 2005.
After obtaining a Business degree from Haskell Indian Nations University, Lee spent several years as the in-house butcher for 715 Restaurant in downtown Lawrence before opening Leeway Franks in 2015.
Leeway Franks is committed to providing Lawrence and the surrounding community with the highest quality sausage and prepared meats while sourcing 100% of our pork, beef and poultry from local farms and purveyors.
