Question about butcher shops

[lfabio2007]

There was an article on the Inquirer - IIRC in Table Talk - about the gentleman who used to have a steakhouse in Philadelphia and a high end butcher shop on this side of the Delaware (i.e. in NJ, around the Cherry Hill area). I believe the article - the most recent one I remember reading at least - mentioned that he was closing the steakhouse but keeping the butcher's.

I can't find it, though. Could someone shed some light and, perhaps, express their opinion on the quality of the goods sold, as well as any viable or recommended alternatives?

Not sure about the article, but there was this very informative thread on the quality of beef in the area...

You might be thinking of Arnold's Prime Meats. He has two locations, Rt. 38 in Cherry Hill and Rt. 561 in Cherry Hill (in the Centrum Shops, across from Winner Ford). His restaurant, now closed, was in Voorhees.

Mr. Dolan - thanks, I read that thread and I'm having a quiet conversation with my credit card. We'll see the result of that.

John - quite possibly that is the shop. Is it any good?

I've always been pleased with the quality of their meats (though I'm not quite sure that they're actually selling prime beef), but there's really nothing to compare them with. There aren't many butcher shops in the area. Ralph's, in Moorestown, is another good one. They're primarily a deli, but with a little butcher shop in the back.
