Would they like to eat brisket for a week?

I don’t drink booze. Or buy in bulk.

Not sure what mixed bus is

Their meat is very solid though. For a while they were the only place I could consistently find prime meat. That's changed, but their prices are still unbeatable.

To each their own though. A local butcher is a great thing, but hard to find sometimes.

You won’t buy meat at Costco again.

But you can't beat Costco for prime meat prices.

Although it’s very pricy.

Add Gepperth’s to that list as well. Chicago used to have some great butcher shops and fish mongers in the West Loop. Olympia meats was fantastic. Prime cuts at low prices. Isaac & Stein had a great selection of fresh fish at wholesale prices. Neither place was for the faint of heart as they were both wholesale shops with a small retail business.

The rise of Randolph Street and Fulton Market claimed both as casualties, along with a handful of similar businesses. I guess CHICAGO needs more shitty noodle restaurants and generic high rise apartment buildings.

It's my replacement for Olympia. I was very sad when Olympia shut down.

I have certainly frequented Paulina over the years (and Dirk's on the fish side), but they really are over priced, particularly compared to those old west loop places.

Although I'm more likely to just keep walking to Bavette's.
