Chicks dig window shopping for shoes, kids swing for the lollies and toys....me I'm a Butcher Boy! Nothing gets me more exitied and willing to part with my hard earned cashola than a tray of T-Bones garnished with a sprig of Parsley! While I'm on that, what is with that? That random sprig of herbage is not going to entice me to buy more, nor am I going to think 'my, isn't the pretty and parsley fresh!'.
Meat window dressing aside, Craig's at Ingle Farm is my kind of butcher. No crazy fancy stuff, just juicy cuts of dead animal bred for my taste bud pleasure! Most of the common offenders are present, but two things they stock really stand out for me. The Beef Shazlicks are crazy good. Make sure you cook them on a high heat so you get some nice char action and don't over cook, pink in the middle is the go. The other item is the baby back pork ribs (American Style), which are not very easy to find. They kick some serious ass, but make sure you re-glaze every 8 odd minutes while you cook for a really thick, sticky, shiny finish. read more
