Title: I found a new place to play..
Post by: squirtthecat on January 12, 2010, 10:45:24 AM
A family owned butcher shop/grocery store that stocks almost all locally produced products.


And some unusual things that caught my eye..

[edit]

They carry that Soileau's seasoning and chili mix - so I picked up 3 of each.   Look for a review in the next forum newsletter..

How'd you take that picture with your arms crossed.  ;D I'll take one of each off the top shelf.

My little hand basket was straining from the load as it was..  (and it hit my wallet pretty good at the cash register :o)   I'll go back for sure.   I forgot to ask the butcher, but I bet I can get pork bellies from him.

They had a 7UP Citrus BBQ sauce that looked interesting.

I also grabbed a bottle of BBQ sauce and rub from the "Hogs N Heat" BBQ Cooker team, located in Breese IL.

And some other goodies...

Speaking of...   They carry that Andrias sauce you reviewed in the last newsletter, so I picked up a bottle.

It's hard to tell from the tiny pic, but the meat case is lined with bottles of all kinds of sauces..

They've got some good looking meat as well - I need to go back when I have time to peruse.

This used to be more of a meat market than specialty store..  I hadn't been in there in years.  Then they moved into this new building and really expanded.

Damn Squirt, you always seem to be on the prowl.

Where do you find the time?

That looks like a really cool store.

Another day, another lunch hour wandering around the grocery store...


This was a big topic a week or so ago, so I just had to pick up a bag.

And talk about smoking some cheese!

Dang it boy!

What was the $$ on that thing?
Title: Re: I found a new place to play..
Post by: squirtthecat on January 13, 2010, 10:49:19 AM

Not for sale..

Then had individual chunks of it wrapped up in the cooler, and I think those were around 6 bucks a pound.


That was a 75 pound wheel!

This was the CM down from the office.

That other place has USDA Choice beef.  They had an ad in today's paper that mentioned it.   (ribeyes cut to order)
