Food and Drink Do you go to local butcher shops?

mr. tegu · 11-15-2022, 08:37 PM

Or do you just use the grocery stores? I’m thinking about this because every year we make a few special visits to some local places for meat or services for the holidays. But I don’t really go to them outside of that. We love Krizmans for sausage (best around as far as I’m concerned) and then use Bichelmeyer for getting a Turkey smoked whenever we need two turkeys and don’t want to cook two.

I don’t really buy meat regularly from them though to know if the quality is better or if the prices are better at all. I’d like to visit them more often but they are not exactly close to us. Just curious what peoples experiences are.

Yeah. I live in feedlot country. It’s better. Expensive but better.

I shouldn’t say it is expensive. It’s expensive as hell at the store too.

I try to use the local butchers when I want a specific cut of steak. Otherwise, I get meat from a butcher that is local to my folks.

I butcher my own meat chickens and will begin butchering my own goats for red meat. Looking to add rabbits as well.

Broadway butcher has a lot of high quality unique stuff I enjoy. I do not always hit it up but like it every now and then. It is a go to place when I want high quality fish they have great salmon.

**Bwana** · 11-15-2022, 08:44 PM

Absolutely.

KCUnited · 11-15-2022, 08:44 PM

Yes, I have a few that I frequent for different things that I can’t get at the store but a store with a good meat counter is the best.

Eleazar · 11-15-2022, 08:47 PM

Yeah.

Leeway Butcher in Lawrence is fantastic. Went and bought a gift for a friend couple of ours a few weeks ago - a three pound piece of Bavette that was juuuust cut.

Abba-Dabba · 11-15-2022, 09:01 PM

Yes. For hot links and all types of sausages. For most things though, the cost just doesn't make sense at the butcher over the grocery store.

I really enjoyed hitting up the mexican super markets

This butcher shop lived close to you?

**srvy** · 11-15-2022, 09:47 PM

Mostly Sams or Costco. Special occasions either Paradise Locker or Gladstone meats. Been hearing good things about The Upper Cut KC off Cookingham Drive will try soon.

Can't remember the last time I got anything but lunch meat from the grocery store.

Since we're on the topic, if you're a pork chop person like myself give this marinade a whirl, it's simple and absolutely amazing. I go for the 24hr soak but if you can't give it at least 12hr.

1/3 cup (85 ml) soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves , minced
¼ tsp black pepper

I use the oven for this one. Put it on broil and when at full speed brown each side. As close to heat as possible.

You can thank me later.
