| - As a long time buyer of whatever meat the big box grocery store happened to be selling that day, I decided it was time for me to up my local game and buy from somewhere a little better. I can't think of a better decision or a carnivore to make, and to my surprise, it's a decision that's not even more expensive. Turns out when you make the move to a local meat mart, it's nothing but wins.
I had it in my head that I wanted to try my hand and BBQing a Prime Rib Roast. "Hold up, Dale. That's a significant meat purchase and you NOTHING about it." Sush, brain. I don't care if I'm clueless, I'm going to go ahead with it any way! In hindsight, I was beyond lucky that the fine folks at Bon Ton Meat Market were there to make sure my meal didn't quickly become a disaster.
They knew how much I should buy to feed the right number of guests, and because I was BBQing, they included and extra fat cap to help seal in all the juices that I would remove once it was done. I'm proud to say that I aced it! It was so flavourful with an intensely rich crust and a tender juicy inside. They even counselled me to find the right amount of marbling I like. They were right. This is the best meal I've had in a long time, and I know it wouldn't have gone that way without their help.
They've got a great frozen selection filled with unusual, hard to find, and local game meats as well, and a small selection of cheeses and other meat compliments.
I'm looking forward to treating my BBQ some Cornish game hens from Bon Ton Meat Market later this summer.
See you all soon!
