The sawdust is to soak up the blood.

Got a couple prime 8 oz filet mignons and a couple potatoes from fresh market tonight that cost me about as much as it would cost to go to huey's and get a couple burgers with fries. The steaks were excellent.

For steaks (Most cuts), ribs, and school pizza's charlies meat market rocks. I buy my competition ribs at Charlie's and the steaks we enjoy for tailgates. I wait for Kroger to do there bi-yearly whole rib-eye sale and get a nice whole rib-eye sliced for cheap and it lasts the misses and me a while. For chicken it depends on what I'm cooking. Thighs and legs I go back and forth between Kroger and Sam's depending whats on sale. For competition chicken i go to the Fresh Market for my meat. For breast meat I usually buy a 10lb bag from Sam's unless I'm stuffing it or doing something special then I go to the Fresh Market. Pork ... well lets talk. Pork Chops I buy from Chalie's in a 5lb box. BUT for butts I usually buy by the case at Sam's. It's the same distributor but cheaper. For shoulders I make the drive to Fayette packing. Great price and service. Pork loins and Beef tenderloins I go to Sam's. Its a "big box" but you can not beat the price or quality usually. I did find some nice Beef tenderloins at Fresh Market last year for Memphis In May at a nice price and quality but it was pure luck. Now lets talk Seafood. If cost is not a option I say Fresh Market has the best quality overall. The Kroger on Mendenhall is improving and has some great seafood (fish) options. I'm lucky that the job I have lets me travel to the gulf coast. About twice a year I can get some really great shrimp at a good price that I can bring a cooler full back with me.

Fresh Market. Anybody remember a few years back when Channel 5 tested the local stores meats/fish for salmonella? FM was on of the worse.

I've had meat from both locations and never had any problems.

What're you paying for Boston Butts now? A couple of years ago you could buy them for $ .89 a pound; now it's a dollar more.

Sams had Boston Butts for about $1.59 per lb (case price)
