I would have sworn I saw grass fed beef last weekend, but maybe I got it mixed up with the Brazilian sourced beef (which kinda surprised me….never saw something so specific in a store).
Thanks for the tip on seafood. I probably would only stick to shrimp….we’re not a big lobster family.
On the rancidity topic, I’ve had bad luck at Costco. More than once I’ve had pork ribs that had gone bad within 2-3 days of buying them. I don’t trust it any more and plan to get my next rib purchase at Wild Forks.
I have a bunch of commercial fishermen in my neighborhood so I don't have any issues sourcing fresh seafood, but I do order meat regularly from Wild Fork. I have had no issues at all. I've ordered elk, bison, plate ribs, ground beef, chicken thighs, chorizo, picanha, marrow bones, beef heart, chicken heart, and probably other stuff that I'm forgetting. It's all been good.
I can see seafood being dicey, though. I'm spoiled on that front.
actual selection.
but I rarely go to Thousand Oaks/Westlake anymore. I almost always have it shipped.
ship though.
When I go home or to the west coast I eat solely seafood. I don’t care how it gets to Chicago. It’s never as good as a seafood shack near the beach.
