Apologies up front that this post is only for LTBBQ friends in the Charlotte, Hickory, Gastonia environs of North Carolina but I know there are quite a bunch of us hanging out here. Also no intent to sound like a commercial but I've stumbled upon a real meat market with a butcher and very competitive prices in Denver, North Carolina (just west of Lake Norman). Triangle Food Market, 1298 N. Hwy 16.
If you are looking for a much better selection of meat and more "versatility" than a supermarket you need to check it out. I bought spare ribs (in cryovac but no saline solution) and chicken thighs for upcoming contest. They have a good selection of steaks, chops, packer briskets, tri-tips and other goodies, too. Wish I had a freezer and/or more refrigerator space.
