Ya know, they really oughta nickname the town of Bedford "Booji Town". Because this is where New Hampshirites come to empty their wallets.
So, it's a high end butcher shop. *ahem* ... 'Scuse me, butchah shop. How I happened by this place was actually through word-of-mouth via the NH subreddit. When I saw they had a fairly good average (despite having far too few reviews), I knew this would be the ideal place to purchase my first home cooked prime rib.
Now, this review shall be a special treat for some of you. Because for once, I get to show off a bit of my limited cooking skills, whilst also showcasing the would-be end results of consuming such high quality produce in the privacy of one's own home.
As you can see, the selection is vast! I couldn't stop taking pictures, but kinda had to restrain myself in case the staff or management assumed I was somebody important.
Fish, chicken, beef, pork? WGB has you covered. As mentioned, we stopped in for a nice prime rib. They have two cuts, Grade A and Prime (if I'm remembering those correctly...please don't @ me). Let's just nickname them "good enough cut" and "booji cut".
Long story short, the booji cut has more marbling; ergo, more naturally buttery flavor. Since this was an extra special treat I was providing for myself and family, I opted for the additional flavor.
This was my first attempt at roasting a prime rib at home and I gotta say...it came out really good! About an 8 out of 10, if I'm being completely transparent. I gotta tweak some things with the recipe. But ultimately, temp control is the key to cooking a juicy, tender prime rib.
I had a chance to peak at some of the other items available here and noted the steaks are also priced significantly higher than the grocery store. Perhaps one day I might try a rib eye from here just to see how it turns out on the grill.
Evidently, they have a counter in the front that also sells sides and sandwiches. Dunno if I'd ever personally use this, but it's there for folks who wanna grab a quick bite to-go.
Oh, and a shout out to the outstanding staff who quickly helped us and explained the choices of cuts they had. They were also wicked accommodating when it came to portioning the requested weight.
Show up with your wallets loaded, folks! Cuz this place is the real deal. I'm affectionately giving Wicked Good Butchah 5 tender, juicy, med-rare slices of prime rib out of 5. read more
