    Its long gone now. The old butcher shop has long closed down. And the very spot where ol Mike stood and cut the steaks now stands a bunch of clueless yuppies who wouldn't know a quality Porterhouse from a McDonalds burger.. Yes, the place where the butcher shop once stood is now a trendy yuppie bar. Nothing is sacred anymore ;)
    We had a butcher like that right down the road from us.

    Unfortunately, PennDOT wiped out the little shopping mini-mall they were located in when the widened and repositioned State Route 88 a couple of years ago.

    When I was a kid, Grandma used to go to a very good little butcher shop down the road. His motto was "you may not like the fish, but you can't beat our meat".

    it's sad that we have lost so many of those small businesses, those little sole proprietorships, Ma & Pa kind of grocery stores, variety stores, hobby shops, candy stores, etc. I remember so many of them when we were living in Brooklyn and in my present area. They were more than just butcher shops, they were also mini community centers. They hired local kids for summer help making deliveries. Local people would come there to buy and meet one another and talk about stuff that is going on.

    Maybe a little behind times? Nowadays I'm sure the last clause would be different.

    Besides, if you don't like fish...don't you want to?

    Another Porterhouse sold as a T-bone. Choice this time. Note almost ALL the fat has been removed. It's a wonder they don't outlaw all steaks here and promote 100% lean turkey burger.

    Looks plenty cooked already.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Go to the market and read the labels around here and you'll see that they actually ADD FAT to the processed turkey products they sell. They still advertise it as lean though.
    You just can't get a big dumb redneck to eat a turkey burger unless it's marketed with a name like "Bubba" and tastes like sausage.

    A Bubba Burger is one of the nastiest things I've ever had the pleasure of spitting out. They're awful, and don't even remotely resemble the texture of a real burger. Food mimic FAIL.
