I've seen them at the Culver City farmer's market more than once, but I bought from them for the first time last Tuesday. Usually I get priced out of buying grass-fed beef, but this time I decided to at least see what they were offering. I was frank about my lack of funds (but my desire for beef) and the guy manning the booth gave me some fantastic suggestions. I wanted steak, and steak I got...for $7 a pound! Sure, it wasn't a prime cut (it was from just behind the shoulder where the ribs end) but it was tender and flavorful, just as he said it would be. I found the cut to be more gamey than, say, a grass-fed sirloin (obviously), but I really enjoyed the flavor simply pan sauteed with a little garlic and rosemary. Gamey or not, at $7 a pound, it was a damn good deal! I was able to trim one a bone off the edge before cooking so that my dog Izzy could have it, and if she could talk, she would agree that it was delicious! J & J is bringing good, local, sustainable beef to customers here in LA, and that's awesome. They know their product and can help you choose the cut that's best for you, even if you have no knowledge of cow anatomy (and which parts that are best to eat.) They're friendly, accommodating guys, and I enjoyed my entire experience with them, from purchase to pan. I missed the market this week, but I'm holding out on buying beef until I can see them again. When you find a good farmer, growing and selling animals in an ethical, humane way, you just want to support them. When they're as nice as these guys are, it's a total no-brainer.

Walmart has completed what they call "The New Walmart," and honestly, the experience feels worse…read morethan ever. I didn't stop shopping at Walmart because of one bad trip, I stopped because the experience slowly became worse every single time I went. I've shopped at Walmart for years, so this review comes from long experience, and a noticeable decline over time. During the remodel they added thousands of new products, packed in more shelving, and narrowed the aisles to the point where two shopping carts can barely pass. Finding anything has become a frustrating scavenger hunt. Yes, they have an app -- but it's slow, inconsistent, and not much help when you're already standing in a crowded aisle. Product selection has also gotten worse. Items that used to come in small, medium, and large now often skip the medium size entirely. If that's what you need, you're simply out of luck. Quality control has also slipped badly. I regularly see bread on shelves past the pull date, loaves with partially open wrappers that are already dried out, and yogurt singles stuffed into cartons where only the outside package shows a date -- leaving you guessing how old the product inside actually is. The meat department has become especially disappointing. Cuts are loaded with gristle and fat, and the quality is far below what I expect from a major grocery retailer. The bakery is overloaded with products -- so much inventory that it's hard to believe everything can possibly stay fresh long enough to sell. Produce is another problem. Fruits and vegetables are often limp, bruised, or slimy. Carrots bend easily instead of snapping fresh. Bananas are frequently overripe. Grapes and berries often contain spoiled pieces that ruin the entire package. The final straw came this weekend. After spending more than two hours shopping with two full carts, we ended up with a very inexperienced cashier who stacked heavy canned goods on top of soft fruit and mixed raw meats with produce. Then everything was packed into thin paper bags that tear if they hold more than a few pounds. By the time we got home, several bags ripped open while unloading, scattering groceries everywhere -- including a broken jar of jelly. Delivery has been just as frustrating. Orders arrive on time -- but at the wrong house. Customer service told us to check with neighbors and retrieve the delivery ourselves. One time that meant hauling multiple heavy cases of water back home. The response we got was simply to remove the tip and end the call. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once. At this point, we've already stopped buying meat at Walmart, and we're close to ending our regular grocery shopping there altogether. The "New Walmart" may be their vision of improvement, but for us it has meant lower quality, more frustration, and a much worse shopping experience. What's disappointing is that none of these issues alone would have driven us away. It's the steady accumulation of small frustrations -- declining quality, harder shopping conditions, and weaker customer service -- that finally changed our habits. We didn't set out to stop shopping at Walmart; we simply realized one day that the experience no longer felt worth it.
