For Thanksgiving 2007, I bought my turkey from this live poultry market in the warehouse section of…read moreWoodside. There was a sizable group waiting outside for their orders and several folks walking out with small bags of fresh chicken. I asked one if the stuff is good. He replied with a big grin, "Yes. Good." This ain't the cleanest place in the hood, but what do you expect from what is essentially a chicken coop? I told the man I wanted a turkey that would be 12 pounds going into the oven. He said a live 15 pounder would fit the bill. He led around a head-high stack of plastic cages with white and brown chickens, which formed the enclosure for the rafter of turkeys. I was told to pick one out of the lot. I replied that I was inexperienced at sizing a live turkey. The man grabbed one by the leg and tied it to the scale, which spun around once: A 22 pounder which would be about 18 in the oven. Holy stuffing! I didn't want one that huge, but then the rest all looked bigger. I spared this one and waited a few minutes until the man picked another by the foot. Bingo! 16 pounds. I said yes, she got tagged and went off in a shopping cart, out of sight. I had fifteen minutes to kill while she was killed, scalded and plucked. I went to the gas station to pick up some ice. When I returned, the bird was ready in a bag, with its fat tail sticking out and warm to the touch. I paid $32.50 and put her in the cooler. At home, I first washed feathers and who-knows-what from my boots, then I took the bird out. My cat went nuts. Yowza! They'd left the head attached (as was the heart). I had visions of how cool it would be to present it at dinner with the head on (sadly, they had cut off the feet), then thought better of it. Perhaps next year, to more adventurous guests. I cut off the neck with shears, took out the organs and feet from the warm cavity and weighed the body: 12.5 pounds, perfect! I brined her for a few days and roasted at 425F. Pulled her out with the breast at 153F and thighs at 170F. She was the turkiest turkey I've ever had. The dark meat verged on being a little gamy, which was fine by me, but some may not appreciate it. The texture was chewier than other turkeys and very moist. Wow, a turkey with real flavor for once! The website lists eggs on sale. Three chickens for $9.99. Or buy 10 and get one free. But you better know if you want your chickens soft, medium or hard. Free delivery with $50 minimum.

We've also tried the roast pork which is also very good. But the duck is spectacular and we keep coming back for it!

I had plans to go into Manhattan and since I had to pay the congestion pricing I figured I'd make a trip into Chinatown. I was going to order about 5 lbs. of the beef. Some sweet and some spicy. Some for me and some for out of town, former NYer, friends (a purchase of about $170 Ping's missed out on). I called the day before and all day the day of. I couldn't get anyone on the phone. They have a web page, but the only way to contact them was... you guessed it... via phone. I learned from past experience that if you don't order ahead, all you get, if you're lucky, is crumbs. I decided not to waste more time and gas and just skipped the trip downtown.

I bought butter from this store and when I got home and opened it, I immediately noticed that the…read morebutter was in very bad condition. I had put it in the freezer after bringing it home, so when I returned to the store, I simply asked for an exchange or refund. Instead of taking responsibility or even trying to help, the manager blamed me and told me that I must not have put the butter in the freezer. I KNOW what I did after I bought it. I explained this to her, but she still refused to exchange the product or give me my money back. What made the situation even worse was the manager's attitude and the way she spoke to me in front of everyone. She yelled at me and said, "Yeah, do whatever you want. I don't care. Nothing is going to affect us." Imagine speaking to a customer who has supported your business for NINE YEARS like that simply because they brought back a bad product and asked for a reasonable solution. I felt humiliated and completely disrespected. The employees were looking at me like I had done something wrong just for asking about a defective product. I walked into the store as a customer asking for help and walked out feeling like I was the problem. I have seen other issues with products at this store over the years, including products without clear expiration dates, but I usually kept quiet because I did not want an argument or unnecessary problems. This time I decided to speak up because the product I purchased was not acceptable--and instead of receiving basic customer service, I was yelled at and treated disrespectfully. A manager should know how to handle a customer complaint professionally. If you cannot replace a product or provide a refund, you can explain that respectfully. There is absolutely no excuse for yelling at a customer and telling them we "don't care. You can report and laughing at me they said we get lot of report no one can do anything about it.
