Backyard Grilling

[Tim Dolan]

I heard that Smith and Wollensky is now selling it's steaks for at-home grilling. Anyone else hear about this? Also I've never been to S & W, how would their meat stand up to my main steak place, Harry Ochs in the RTM? I just bought my dad a big, bad ass grill for Father's Day and would really enjoy some big, bad ass steaks to fire up on that grill.

I'm sure the S&W steaks are grossly overpriced. Heck - I've found good steaks at Acme and ShopRite from time to time.

Since you're already acquainted with Harry Ochs you're in good shape for steaks. Other possibilities include Cannuli's (they sell more than pork) and Sonny D'Angelo in the Italian Market for steaks, game and amazing sausages.

try Lombardi's Prime Meats at 18th and Packer. As a bonus, they also sell Bobby Chez crabcakes and shrimp puffs.

Undoubtedly, the best grilling meats are to found at Hendricks Farms & Dairy, located in Telford, PA 30 minutes north of center city. As producers of grass-fed, beef, lamb, chicken and goat, they offer exciting options not to be found at your local grocer or specialty retailer. If you check out their website (www.hendricksfarmsanddairy.com ) {pathetic but undergoing a facelift} you can sign up for their weekly email which details the fresh meats of the week along with other goodies like artisanal award winning cheeses and more.

I am sure that is a thoroughly unbiased recommendation

[Hendricks Farms]

Perhaps just a little biased. But wouldn't it great to see & taste for yourself? We guarantee your satisfaction.

I've always been happy with the overall quality of the poultry and beef from Stoltzfus in the Ardmore Farmers' Market. They typically have a pretty broad selection of cuts on display and have never refused to custom cut when I've asked.

Katie, I notice you don't mention Esposito's on 9th St.. Are they a bit too "factory-esque" for your taste?

Reikers Maket at Oxford and Rhawn in the NE has some great meat for grilling. Man, I have to get there again soon.

Actually, no. I just didn't remember them off the top of my often muddled little head.

Any of the real butchers in town will always have something that looks good. Just depends how stuck you are on a particular cut of meat. I try to go in with an attitude of "I don't know my menu until I see what looks good." Then I'm never disappointed.

Any of the aforementioned places should do you well.

Scoats,

If you are after some of Reikers' weiners and bratwursts, the new DiBruno's store on Chestnut carries a selection of these.

Happy Grilling!
