Went in there with a girlfriend once and we both noticed that he spoke with me and paid zero attention to her.

Yeah, good point. I’ll avoid the busy time. Although it wasn’t terribly convenient for me, I’d hit McGonigles every so often for my backyard smoking meats. Did the Fareway thing once after the switch and wasn’t impressed. My go-to forever has been Bichelmeyer’s. Originally Posted by Wizard of Ahhhhs

Bichelmeyer’s is my choice for purchasing the meat for a party. Very good prices and great cuts of meat. It has been over 15 years since I bought a full roasted small pig with an apple in the mouth. It took some time to set it up, but it was worth it. Ask if they still offer that service.

I know that they do... have seen them prepping a pig for customers. Although I have purchased all kinds of individual pig parts there for smoking, I’ve never had the desire to do a full pig.

A few years back, I was in their butcher shop, and asked one of the guys for a couple chunks of nice pork belly. The guy next to me asked what I did with pork belly. I looked at him and responded that I either cure it and smoke it for bacon, or I cube it up for pork burnt ends. If I do the burnt ends, I enjoy the meal with a cold Boulevard Pale Ale. The man smiled and we shook hands. The man was John McDonald.

I've been to some meat markets in the 80s and 90s the chick's were pretty slutty

Sometimes I'd go to the meat market just to chew the fat with the butcher!

I can’t wait to try it when I’m in kc this month!!

The Flea Market also has a decent steak night. It is different where you have to order your own food and pick it up yourself. So pay attention to when they call out a name. The waitress just brings you your drinks. One waitress that used to work there, I recognized her from the tattoos in her online ads.

In my 30+ years in the KC area, I’ve never been there! Sounds like a lunchtime road trip... Originally Posted by Wizard of Ahhhhs

Pork belly is great stuff. Back in the day I did on site inspections with reports to central engineering for a bunch large of pork processing plants. Constant truck loads of pork belly left every day. Now I just read reports and comment on them. I miss the travel.

The small butcher plants can, and often do, turn out the best products.

Back in the day, their best "hamburger" was their pork tender. If they still have it, try it. for a 4'8" lady, it might be 3 meals, however.
