Meat from a local butcher

[Bob Correll]

I was prepared to spend some of my, yet to be received, stimulus check on some good meats from Creekstone, SNF, or Porter Road, but the prices, as always, scared me away.
So instead I checked out a local mom and pop butcher shop, online, that I've been meaning to go to. They offered curbside pickup, so I placed an order.
A slab of STL spares, two 16 oz ribeyes, four 6 oz bacon wrapped filet mignons, and four pounds of bone-in rib chops. Total, a little over $80. I didn't unwrap the ribs, but everything else looks very good to me.

Steaks look good and good call on the chops!

And thanks for buying local!

Looks good to me to Bob. It's nice to help out the little guys. Glad to hear we're not the only ones not to receive our SC's.

You're going to need help eating all that, Bob.....on my way! I think I'd stick to the local butcher. Good looking mess of meat.

All that for $80.00+ is a score in my book, now we get to see one of the masters of this forum cook it..

Buying local, especially right now, is important. Steaks look good now, just wait til you grill them. They'll look awesome. Just picked up some NY Strips this afternoon from a local grocer in our small town. He does his own butchering. Corn-fed Black Angus. Enjoy Bob.

You're a wise mouse who saved lots of dough on some nice meat... extra cheesecake money!

Amazing haul, totally proves doing the right thing (shopping local) pays off. I buy from a local husband and wife butcher, they’ve been great to me for a long time. Kudos to you for looking out for YOUR local Mom and Pop, can’t wait to see what amazing things you do with all of that.

Nice colour on those steaks Bob. We lost our local supplier a few years ago due to a fire. That was a real loss around here. Luckily we are in beef country and this year were able to place an order with a local rancher that has gotten into retail. The freezer is looking good again.
