nice to meat you! a…read morerare journey out of sydney's city centre in search of the lululemon outlet led me to chance upon alexandria and what this area has to offer! a paradise for meat lovers awaits! the entrance is via the f&b section and a turn to your right will be where bright coloured, free to wear, winter jackets hang. this can only mean it's going to be cold within, past the solid black sliding door! i opted not to and would not recommend you follow me if you are not in the least bit liking the cold. it's a great reason to celebrate the cold within as you know for sure the meats that you buy here will be nicely chilled! like a kid in a candy store feeling, warms you. where do i begin? fear not as the previously sentient beings are well organized, classified and displayed for your easy selection. from regular everyday beef to japanese wagyu, goat to lamb, venison, veal, roo, free range chicken and ducks, angus or aged, all abound. the best for me and travellers alike have to be that most meats on display are all nicely vacuum packed, just grab and go! you can also take in the freshly butchered canvas of meats hanging beyond and in the background as proof of the pudding. Or envy the huge aging box encompassing even more choice cuts! and when the cold bites and/or the basket fills, exit the cold room for other non chilled products! hoofs, hearts, liver, pet mince, tongue? the frozen section will amaze! they also have cheeses, cured meats, sauces and other produce. as for the meats you buy, a full range of bbq paraphernalia will get you ready immediately for a cook off! once ready to check out, the quick moving line will get you out the door in no time. just grab cardboard boxes, if you need, for your bountiful loot and don't forget to return that jacket you took when you entered! it was definitely nice to meat you!

When you get here, the entrance is something else...literally like walking into a giant Meat Locker!

Then there is the selection...again just amazing, memorizing, so much to choose from! So are the prices... High quality meat at affordable prices! The Australian Meat Emporium truly feels like a wholesaler that is open to the public, not just one of those catchy or quirky gimmicks. Just like their website states: "Australian Meat Emporium says is a retail outlet selling the finest Bindaree Beef products directly to the public at affordable prices". I'm just not sure what Bindaree Beef is...guessing something good? They also work "very closely with producers of other species of meat such as Cowra Lamb, Arcadian Organic Meat, Rangers Valley and B.E Campbell's Bruemar Pork." Australian Meat Emporium used to be called Establishment 218...just in case your were wondering
