I googled where to buy it fresh and found Vic's meats. Vic's meats has a history going back to 1996 starting in Oxford st Darlinghurst. They have a "Market day" on Saturdays from 8am- 12pm. That's 4 hours to get your mits on some Top of the top quality meats at reduced prices. They supply to Level 41 Restaurant if you need a resume it back it up Noted selections included Grain fed T-bone. There was only one left by the time I got there at 11am. Wagyu.... Master. Kobe. 9BMS. What what? That's right. At the special price of $69.95 a kilo, and before you baulk, it's usually $110. Meat lollies! Wagyu burger patties, Wagyu Chorizo sausages, Wagyu Bresaola. Tomahawk. Fancy yourself a Viking feast? It can be yours for about 50 rods. If size does matter, impress the family at the Xmas BBQ with your cave woman sized Beef with full length rib bone in. Berkshire pork. Pork Belly, American Pork Ribs.. I mean Flintstone size again.. The Butchers themselves are in house and can give you advice and cut meat to your personal request. There is a sign up that says "Say Hi to Vic". Celeb status. Check! It's well organised, and although busy, you don't wait long to get served. Sweet talking Butcher, I know what I'm gonna do.. I'm gonna come back to you.

I mainly head here to buy chicken necks for the dog - they have them in the freezer, and it's great to not have to head to Chatswood to buy them. They have some great prices on meat, a lot cheaper than Hudsons Meat in Cammeray, the nearest other butcher. I've bought some mince, although should have spent a few dollars more for the lean one. The mini lamb roasts that are sometimes in the window look tempting. Hopefully this business stays, even after the Woolworths re-opens. DOG TIP: If there's no chicken necks in the freezer, ask at the counter because they might be able to bag some unfrozen ones.

I cannot tell a lie, the sign saying $7.30/kg chicken breasts drew me in. That's 1992 pricing. Where's Alan Bond? There were three young guys butching their way around behind the counter and I'll tell you, Gen Y can take a leaf out of their book because they were more professional than several bankers I know. Friendly without being familiar, polite without being overbearing, and informative to a fault. Oh and you can buy goat there! Yep. You can choose from different parts, like shoulders, legs, and .... whatever is left, I don't know, I didn't read the sign properly. There's also a huge range of handmade gourmet sausages and great deal where you can get 2kg for $20 (individual kegs are around $14.99.)

This place is huge, very well kept, spotless, brilliantly organized and most important of all...does not smell!! When you get here, the entrance is something else...literally like walking into a giant Meat Locker! They have jackets for you at the front to keep you warm while you struggle to choose your cut of meat from the enormous selection...Brilliant! 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

For example, where I might pay $18/kg for T-Bone steak in another butcher, or up to $24 in woollies, Vinh Hung is consistently low, around$12-15/kg. The rest of their meat is cheap too, with all kinds of cuts of beef, pork, chicken and lamb. Parking can be a pain but if there isn't a spot on the street across the road, then take the next right and there is 15 minute parking in that cross street.

By selling the spices in small portions ($1.20 each) it encourages experimentation with cooking.
