BBQ Sandwich

John, Regarding your brisket. What do you smoke it with, what temperature do you cook it? Your brisket sandwich was to die for. Do you an injection in your brisket? I've had a lot of sandwiches and hands down that was the best sandwich I've ever had. I will be down, from Apple Valley, soon to pick up a brisket and a couple bags of the maple chunks. I mostly use red oak but I do love maple.

Thanks for being in business.

5 Star Review

If any business deserves five stars..................this is it. All of the Employees share the passion of the owners-John and Will. They are friendly, knowledgeable and really seem to care. It is obvious every one of them wants you to have a good experience. Their selection of meats, cheeses, salads, sauces, wines, etc. is surprisingly vast for a shop their size. If you don't see what you want, ask and they will make the necessary arrangements to fulfill the request. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the same delicious food that you see when shopping is part of their catering offering. They are excellent at making sure your food order matches your event size. They are timely, neat and professional and deliver on their promises.

Testimonial

John,

Hope you are enjoying your vacation with the family!  I just wanted to tell you thank you from the bottom of our hearts!  Everything  for the wedding was perfect.  Almost every guest commented on how wonderful the food was and how it was the best food (not just "wedding" food) they had ever tasted.  Of course we told them where we got it from!  My other girl in my office even went on her way home from work yesterday to pick up dinner because she said she just had to have some more tri tip!  The staff was amazing (and professional).  They were so friendly to everyone they came in contact with.  Allen and I were so pleased with everything you guys did from the start of the tasting to the very end of the wedding!  I would do it all over again ( As if we weren't already a regular customer of the shop, but if we weren't we would be now)!

Thank you so much to everyone at the shop for everything and every attention to detail.  The services you provided helped put our daughter's wedding day over the top!

Perfect Porterhouse Steak

Perfect Porterhouse Steak

With a steak this thick, you need to season liberally; when chef Bobby Flay demonstrated for us, the surface of the meat was virtually white from salt.

5 Common Mistakes When Roasting Huge Cuts of Meat

Roasted Rack of Lamb

WRITTEN BY ROCHELLE BILOW

When it comes to show-stopping centerpieces, nothing gets jaws on the floor quite like a massive hunk of roasted meat. However, cuts like pork shoulder, beef rib roast, and lamb leg or shoulder can be intimidating to home cooks. We get it: Those suckers are expensive, and there’s a big fear of over- or under-cooking half of your grocery budget for the week. You don’t have to waste your money—just don’t make these common mistakes. (read more...)
