Scott123, Thank you for the advice - i do buy some stuff from the Parsippany Shoprite (due to my lack & laziness about not finding a butcher) but it's mostly pork & veal. I have to check out Whole Foods - i don't mind paying more for my meat, as long as I think it's worth it. I have been inside Esposito's and it seemed pretty clean to me, but I was only in there a couple of minutes - I'll let you guys know when I visit again. Thank you all for the replies - I really appreciate all of the suggestions.
