When I texted Dave and said âhow do I payâ he told me âI donât think you need this service do youâ? See I work with and around Dave in Tulsa and I knew and he knew I could drop by his shop or even meet him at work to buy some meat. What Dave maybe didnât remalize is that everyone is busy. Everyone is looking for convenience. And I, in particular am looking for quality.
When I eat a steak Iâm not looking to cut around the fat, Iâm hoping that the fat is just as enjoyable as the rest of the steak. Now it may seem as though I know my steaks, my cuts of meat, my way around the hoof. Thatâs where you would be mistaken. I know I like good meat. If Dave told me this came from California or communist China I could really care less if it tastes good (sorry). Somehow yesterday when I ordered my meat box, future me knew that I would get my father in laws dozer stuck, delete a bushing in a 12 yard scraper, and break the reinforced gussets where the hydraulic cylinder attaches to the box blade. Future me knew I would be sunburnt, dehydrated, tired, hacked off and worn out today. Which happened to be the day that my meat was delivered. My wife told me what all was in the box, and quite frankly I couldnât care any less, when I told her âplease set some ribeyes outâ. By the time I got home I was covered in mud. Stunk Iâm sure, and hungry and thirsty.
When I finally made it to the house, The ribeyes were room temperature!!! Right on.
Salt. Pepper. Grill.
I couldnât help myself I cut a piece of mostly fat right off the grill and devoured.
Heaven. I donât want to eat around the fat. I want to eat the fat. And I did.
Wife was already asleep, but I invited my son to have some with me. I mumbled âitâs pretty goodâ. He said âitâs REALLY goodâ. (National merit scholar and 36 on his Act).
So if youâre looking for convenience, care in packaging, handling, temperature, you can probably get that anywhere.
If your craving quality hit Dave and his Family up. I know you wonât be...
   Read moreThis little meat store is just a delight to shop in. Itâs a wonderful experience to be able to deal with the owners every time I go in. They have cuts that other stores just donât carry like flat iron steaks, hanger steaks (my favorite), and tomahawks, but still carry all the mainstream stuff like ribeyes, filets, and sirloins. They take pride in their product and their store is always clean and orderly. All of that would be enough to keep me coming back, but the quality of the meats is really the crowning achievement of this shop. I purchased a beautiful ribeye that was priced and marketed as choice grade but rivaled what I have seen sold as prime in other stores. I cooked some hanger steaks that I bought from and here and my guests said it was the best steak theyâd ever had in their life! Thatâs pretty impressive for a cut of meat that sells for less than half of what other stores are selling prime filets for. Additionally, they sell a product they call âcowboy candyâ that you truly must try. I made them with peppers and onions with a red wine sauce served with mashed potatoes that had everyone asking for seconds. If youâre still shopping at a grocery store for your meats, youâre truly missing out on...
   Read moreI went in here after posting online for meat store suggestions. The selection here isnât cheap necessarily(itâs also not the most expensive pricing I have seen), but the quality is so good! The lady that was working was super helpful and kind. They have a lot of different local meats(and even some fish) and some already marinated options for an easy meal. If youâre looking for some meat that will knock the grocery stores out of the park, this is the place to go.
They also offer veteran and...
