I thought I would start a new thread about the new midtown meat store.

I am probably too cheap to shop there often. I am just so used to being a "dollar menu" kind of guy and don't have the appreciation that I should for buying quality products.

I was however very impressed with the bacon I purchased there. The brand was "Beelers" out of Iowa. It was tremendous. I have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so I guess I am worth it.

I do worry about buying pork at the store. I always see the term "cured" on hams and bacon. I wonder what they were cured of.

I am the same way typically as well.  I have been in there twice the past week and a half or so.  First time I bought some amazing top sirloins that were 2lbs a piece! Fri I went in and grabbed 4 lbs of ground beef, and with the 10% off coupon was 3.39 a lb.  I can't find that at Reasors or Walmart.  Needless to say both meats were very fresh, tasted great and my family loved them!

Where is this magical bacon store?

Magical Bacon would be a great name for a rock and roll band...

Honestly, now that I've had their chicken, it'd be hard for me to go back to what I used to eat.  Same w/ their beef products.  I'm still trying to get dialed in on smoking their ribs.  They are not as fatty as Rea$or$ are, so they cook different.

Good stuff, glad they are around the corner.  Duke's a nice guy to boot.

Factor in the cost to treat your cancer from eating meat from Wal-mart, and perhaps organic meat may actually be cheaper.

Isn't there some place downtown or at 3rd and Cincinnati....I keep hearing some commercials for some meat place.....

And Natural Farms sells every Saturday at the Cherry Street Farmers Market at 15th and Peoria.   Much easier to find than the store on Utica.  They usually set up in the corner down by the Spice Market guys.  The other meat vendor at the Cherry Street Farmers Market is the Creekside guys on the corner across from the fresh farm egg folks.  If you don't know what I am talking about then you just need to go on down on Saturday morning and check the situation out.  Take cash because the vendors do not take credit cards.  They are local and the produce is fresh.

I will pay a premium for top-quality beef steak and roasts, but $3.39/lb. for ground beef???  That is way to rich for my budget.  I have never paid over $2.00/lb. for ground beef, yet.  I wait for a good supermarket special, and then stock up my home freezer.  The only thing I use it for is hamburgers and meat loaf.  IMO, the standard "fatty" ground beef is the best for the juciest homemade burgers.

You get what you pay for.  Without even getting into the issue of mutant hormones and feedlot cows, the cheap 70/30 beef you get for under $2.00/lb in the stores has 34g of fat for every quarter pound of it.
