Neither, I brought my own rap.
I was reading a thread on /r/vegetarian from someone asking about cured vegan meats and cuts, and I was surprised to learn it was a thing.
I’m looking for boar, bison, venison, etc. I live in Somerton but am willing to make the drive to a good butcher that sells these.
I’m not the type to deal with personal matters in a public forum, but I think customers deserve to know what kind of business owners they’re supporting, and Will Carithers, the owner of Willy’s Butcher Shop in Bearden, is one to steer clear of.
I worked at Willy’s Butcher Shop for about two weeks back in September. No job or employer is perfect and that was certainly the case here, but I enjoyed the job for the most part. Will wasn’t ever around, but the other guys in the shop were really cool.
My big issue with the owner didn’t come up until I told him that I needed a few days off work to figure out my housing situation. I had been living in a really cool apartment in the Old City, but the landlord informed me that the building was being resold as condos and I’d have to move out within 38 days. Ultimately, if I wasn’t able to find a new place quickly, I’d have to temporarily move back in with my folks, which meant moving back to my home state. It was a pretty inconsiderate thing for the landlord to do, but that’s real estate I guess. Anyway, I told Will I needed a couple days to figure things out. He wasn’t very flexible, and ultimately we decided that we would part ways and that would be the end of my employment there. It sucked because then I had no job OR housing, basically cementing the reality of my move back to my parents house.
Fast forward a few months: Will STILL hasn’t paid me for the time I worked for him. I’ve reached out plenty of times and offered a variety of ways to pay me (check via the mail, direct deposit, even Apple Pay), but he still hasn’t managed to pay me, and is alleging that the postal service just won’t deliver the check, which sounds like a pretty lousy excuse to me. It’s been 82 days since I left: there’s no good excuse at this point.
I realize it wasn’t very long and I was only supposed to be getting $10/hr, so it’s not a ton of money, but for me it’s the principle. Even if it is only a couple hundred dollars, wage theft is wage theft, and no employer should get away with ripping off their near-minimum wage employees.
Please, don’t support Willy’s Butcher Shop.
What’s your go to butcher shop to get really good quality meats? And don’t say the Jewels, plz
Edit: Tender4sure, lulu hyper, host (vytilla), etc are some places you can buy specially cut meats from. Thanks to everyone who commented and helped.
The sign on the counter instructed everyone to elk themselves.
I'm looking to get some lamb meat from a butcher shop (not a grocery store or costco). Can anyone recommend some good places in town?
Thanks for any help! I'm willing to go on a hike outside of town as well
Looking for a better source of meat in the brownsville or harlingen area.
I live in the North, and looking for a butcher here or close by who deals in beef, lamb, mutton, etc. Any ideas?
Planning to make some bone broth and looking for a local Butcher that sells bones and other offcuts that would normally be discarded for a low price.
Anyone know of anywhere that does that? I could hit all the Butcher shops but would appreciate it if anyone has advanced knowledge.
Thank You!
So my husband and I have been tasked with taking over Christmas dinner this year and I. Am. Sweating. My sweet grandma usually has full reign of the kitchen for holidays, but she had emergency surgery on Thanksgiving and has to have a follow up procedure right before Christmas so I volunteered to take over.
She wants Prime rib, ie the sweating. It’s not going to be the main dish, we’re more of a grazing family so there will also be a ham, and all the sides. I’ve never made prime rib, although my husband and I are very comfortable around a kitchen. I’ve googled til my fingers bled, so I have the recipe we want to use, but I need help with the specifics of the meat.
All that to say I’m looking for a good butcher with a price that’s not going to break me. We want to do a boneless cut, it’s just easier with my picky family. I need enough for 8-12 people, so I think an 8lb cut will be plenty for everyone to get a few slices alongside a ham. I’ve looked at a couple places, but one place wanted over $200 and couldn’t guarantee a delivery date by the time I need (Dec 23 at the latest), and another didn’t even sell prime rib. Anyone have any ideas? Should I risk trying to find one at a grocery? Any help at all is appreciated! Thanks!
Im currently stuck on the story mission "M'ap Tann Pelen" due to a bug where the npcs dont spawn inside the butcher shop. I did a bunch of side quests like an idiot and now I don't have any saves from before the mission starts. Here is a list of everything I've tried so far
- I have tried going far away, saving and resetting, and nothing happened
- I have tried using save editors to restart or complete the mission, but no luck. Either nothing happens, or the next mission "I walk the line" doesn't start.
- I have tried using cyber engine tweaks to try and trigger multiple events during the mission in hopes of completing or skipping the butcher part, and those haven't worked either.
if anyone has solved this or has any other ideas that I should try that would be awesome. I really don't want to have to restart the entire game.
In the city where I live we just have stores like Wal-Mark and Publix for meat. Small section and not much of a selection. Are there any old fashion butcher shops that have people cutting up slabs of beef or pork or even wild game?
Edit I live in Ocala FL.
So I had a customer walk up and embarrassed himself pretty hard.
I went to serve him and here goes the conversation.
Customer: "Hi boys, how Christmas week going for you? You must be busy as hell!"
Me: "We are flat chat busy a million things to get ready, what can I get for you?"
Customer: "Not sure, what do you recommend?"
Me: "I recommend you don't ask us for a recommendation when we are busy as hell in Christmas week."
Customers chuckled, same as the rest of the crew in the shop, and he said "That's probaly a good idea".
FYI: regular customer, and he knows i can be blunt.
EDIT: Should mention the shop was packed.
Craving some steak and I’m not sure Costco can satisfy. Any places in Vaughan/ Woodbridge/ Kleinburg that is good for steaks?
He is tasked with serving the customers and all is well.
One day, a woman comes in and asks for a duck.
“But be sure to give me a high quality Aylesbury duck.”
The apprentice, knowing no better, picks a duck and hands it to the woman.
She examines it carefully, eyeing the apprentice. Sticking her hand into the cavity of the duck she exclaims:
“My boy, this is most certainly a Cambridgeshire duck, a low quality duck at best.”
The apprentice goes to the back to consult the butcher.
The butcher says: “Oh no, that’s Mrs. Blanton, she know her ducks. Don’t try to pull one over on her, here give her this.” And hand the apprentice a duck.
The apprentice reappears and presents the new duck.
Placing her hand up the duck, Mrs. Blanton looks the apprentice dead in the eye.
“Now this is an Aylesbury duck. And a fine example I might add. Please never try to pass off a Cambridgeshire duck as an Aylesbury duck again, you won’t get away with it. Where are you from anyway?”
The apprentice turns, drops trousers, bends over and says:
“Well Mrs. Blanton you tell me: you’re the expert!”
This was my first visit. I started looking at the steaks, which are very few in the counter, and noticed there was ZERO marbling in the meat. This bothered me. I asked the guy behind the counter about it and he said that it's because it's 100% grass fed beef and it doesn't have that kind of marbling.
So I'm thinking, this is gonna be shit steak. It will be too lean and it's going to be tougher than leather. He assured me that it's delicious and this is just how this kind of beef looks.
So I buy two steaks for a total of about $49. I take them home, let them sit to room temp., salt and pepper the hell out of them an throw them on a hot ass cast iron. Sear for a couple of minutes, flip and toss in butter, garlic and rosemary. Baste with butter, etc. Remove from the skillet and let rest for about five minutes.
I even check with my thermometer: 132 and 134 each.
I slice these things open (they were very pretty) and they were tougher than fuck. We chewed on them for so long our jaws were sore.
My question is, has anyone else shopped here to get a shit quality steak that you overpaid for? They were tough, NO fat (as suspected) and full of sinew. Has anyone else had shit quality from here? Thanks.
