| - Yesterday I was served Kobe hot dogs, chipotle jalepeno brats and cheddar cheese brats. They were fabulous. Turns out the place to get this great food is Branded Meats, only a hop and skip away from my home. So today, I entered for the first time.
Branded Meats brings me back a bit to something seriously lacking in California and Nevada, the local butcher shop. You enter into a no frills room with glass counters displaying cuts of meat that would make even the most premium palate drool in anticipation. From brats, to filet, choice 1855 to Prime, Kobe hot dogs, duck breast and on weekends, fresh fish you can get almost anything here. Lamb and veal as well. There is also a wide selection of seasonings, spices and sauces. Pricing is as expected since they grind and cut the meats themselves but really reasonable all things considered. I purchased a duck breast and 2 Kobe dogs for less than 18 dollars. Will be back once I get my grill and set it up for some prime rib eye. Pan or broil just wouldn't do it justice.
They have posters showing the different cuts of each animal and will custom fill orders by phone. The owners/staff are super friendly and will provide information about where the meats come from and how they are prepared. They will also cut the chops to fit your thickness preferences.
All in all, I was very impressed with Branded Meats!
