I want to know who do you think has the best meat, or and meat & Produce
Whole Foods, walmart, reasors, "Freedom Mart" LOL Omaha Steak
Bruner's for meat. 81st and Sheridan.
Sigi's at 91st and Sheridan, but it's very pricey. Or Perry's (don't remember the address).

I think there's a Perry's near 11th and Lewis.
The wife and I have been quite happy with the quality of meat we've been getting from the Oklahoma Food Coop (//%22http://www.oklahomafood.coop%22). We haven't had a chance to try out their fruits and veggies yet, but are looking forward to it when the season turns
We've also heard that the farmer's markets around here are awesome in the spring and summer. That's good, 'cause I'm pretty miffed at our local Reasor's. The produce is pretty awful, and too expensive.

They make some excellent summer sausage and hot links. I've taken several pounds of ground venison in there for them to do. Good stuff.
Perry's & Fadler's for meat, both are excellent quality and pricing. Fadler's produce has been good when I've been there and well-priced.

They have been very hit and miss for me....at least in the last 6 months.

Oh man their hot links are awesome!!!
Speaking of produce, I have become obsessed with finding a Romanesco Cauliflower. While in Wild Oats yesterday, I spoke to the produce guys and they're going to try to get one for me.

I like their produce but the thunder always freaks me out.

Pretty nature math! I hope you manage to get one :)

Is it correct that Fadler's is also a wholesale distributor?

That is correct. They supply many of the restaurants in the area. You can find all sorts of fun bulk stuff like gallons of ketchup or several pounds of ground pepper, but you can also get singles and smaller portions. Personally, I like it better than Sam's and I don't see so many other impulse purchase items like I do when I go to Sam's that leave me broke for a few days.
Incidentally, they are across Sheridan from Sam's. [;)]
what about whole foods & Omaha steak What is there quality of meat?

I grow it in my garden every spring. You can get seeds at johnny's Select seeds. I'm not a huge cauliflower fan, but I like the novelty of this one.

Omaha steak is very cheap stuff. My wife used to order from them. It's all vacuum sealed injected with what they call "10% solution" and for the most part disgusting.
I have gotten great meat at Whole Foods (Same Company as Wild Oats). I go there to buy Lamb because the butcher knows how to dress chops properly. But it's very expensive.
I must admit. The best meat I've purchased for grilling, or BBQ has got to be SAM's. They will custom cut just about anything for you and the price is right.

There is a Whole Foods here? I thought there was just the Wild Oats in Brookside.

Whole Foods owns Wild Oats now.

Yes, I know. I thought spoonbill was saying that he had been to a physical location different from the store in Brookside - one called Whole Foods.

Omaha is pretty much the same thing as the little vac-pack filets they sell for $4.00 at Reasor's or elsewhere. They come out tender, I just have a problem knowing that's 10% phosphate and other additives in the solution. Yuck! Talk about tying up your bowel for a few days!
Oops.

The article says:
quote:
Gary McDonald, a lawyer representing Fadler, said the filing will not have an effect on the delivery of food to its customers.
"The company has an outstanding customer base, and we intend to continue that," McDonald said.
and
quote:
The company also sells meat and bulk foods directly to the public through Fadler's Market, a section of its main warehouse at 6511 E. 44th St.
I'm going with the theory that the direct to public store will stay open for now, too ... and that maybe I ought to go visit it soon, just in case.
