I've been looking for a good butcher and I was excited to find out about this one. The mission was to get a variety of different meats to get an idea of the quality of the quality and to see if it was worth filling the freezer. I went on a Saturday at around noon, it wasn't very busy and looked very clean. I was getting a little excited and pretty much wanted to buy everything I could get my hands on. \n Here's what I bought, 3 racks of baby back ribs, a couple thick New York steaks, a nice looking tri tip, some pork chops, an Atlantic salmon fillet and a package of hot dogs. All of which cost about $100, not cheap but not too bad if everything is as good as it looks. I went straight home to separate everything and package everything for storage. This is when I find out that the salmon is bad, really bad. I mean when I opened the plastic bag it immediately filled the house with the smell of death. I was really bummed because I had planned on putting it straight in the smoker. Oh well, after cleaning and washing everything even close to the fish I figured I would drown my sorrows in some baby backs. I threw a rub on them along with the tri tip and put them in the smoker. I would say hands down the best ribs I've had. Sliced up the tri tip and made barbecue sandwiches, again money. \n I had vacuum sealed the pork chops and opened them two days later, death. Not sure if there was contact with the foul fish, but, I know I didn't cross contaminate it. \n All the beef I got was excellent, including the steaks. Grilled at 500+ they were tender and juicy. Even the dogs were good. I believe the only problem was one bad fillet. I haven't been back, I'm sure I will return with a little more discipline and not just go all ADD.
