    I just tried some of their signature Pleasant Ridge Reserve cheese, which currently runs $17 for an…read more8 oz package. I must say premium Wisconsin cheeses are like hazy IPA's to me. There are a ton of tastes (and textures) and they're all a little different, and I like them all! Maybe one day I'll develop enough of a palate to have a favorite, but for now, they're all good!!

    Pleasant Ridge Reserve, the signature cheese of the Uplands Cheese Company, may be one of the…read moresingle most perfect hard cows milk cheese made in the US. A traditionally made cheese in the style of alpine cheeses from southwestern France, Pleasant Ridge Reserve is made only during the months when cows graze on grasses, sweet clover, and wild herbs, giving their milk a depth of flavor not usually found in most cheeses from year-round milkers grazing on silage and grain. This award winning cheese (just go to their website to see how many accolades they've earned...it is simply awesome) is a favorite both here in the Midwest and all over the country. For those of us lucky to live in Chicago, it is on the menu of many local restaurants, who use it both on cheese plates and in more complex dishes. During a recent visit to Hot Chocolate on Damen, for example, I had a Pleasant Ridge Reserve-filled brioche. I think this cheese is better to eat out of hand than to incorporate in a recipe - with heating, many of the subtleties of texture and flavor are lost. Seek it out. And if you do find it in a cheese shop, make sure the piece you get does not touch plastic. Because plastic is the enemy of all cheese. If it must touch plastic, make sure you get it out as soon as possible and put in proper cheese paper or wax paper and foil. And eat it right away - it isn't going to get any better in your fridge. Uplands isn't open to the public, but if you call ahead they may just accomodate you. The trip through the lush, rolling hills of southern Wisconsin is an agrarian's dream.

    We went in just for some bacon, I didn't know it was cut to order.... That's awesome, so we got…read morethick cut bacon and it looks delicious. The service was fast, friendly even though it was a little busy. There is always so many options I know what I want to get then I start thinking about all of the other great things I can make or just eat (like beef sticks) from there. It's a great place to get quality meat with a better price than even the membership box store. I placed an order for a couple of boxes of chicken and would take no time to get really. Thanks and see you when the meat order comes in.

    This is my 3rd or 4th visit, and far from my last…read more Unfortunately one of the primary reasons I go out of my way to visit this place, sadly, they don't have the cut of beef that I want. But they do offer an exceptional pepper jerky that is still better than nearly any of the other butchers I've tried. A better price is key, but it's also just a better flavor. The burgers and even the employees who aren't a skilled worker still have more to offer than anyone calling themselves 'the butcher' at any of the Pic n Slave' (aka Copps) or really most grocery stores these days. Because you are assigned the meat department and know the difference between bologna and turkey doesn't qualify anyone as a butcher. (Unless you're in tRumps cabinet and are a teenage girl who wants to be treated like meat.) The place has the same vibe as an old village or town where it doesn't have anything absurd or flashy to draw in the Walmart crowd. By this I was able to get the ambiance checked off.
