Kobe/Wagyu Beef Sliders

A popular appetizer and bar food.  Our current source of Kobe/Wagyu burgers has recently added a 2 oz round burger.  We are unsure how they are packaged at this time, but will see on Monday. 

8/1 Kobe/Wagyu Slider - $5.85/#

This product will be available on 7/9/07.

Ground Reindeer - 1st batch of the season

Finally the reindeer is starting to come in for the year.  We are patiently waiting for tenderloins and racks to arrive as well as rolled shoulder roasts.

Mush to our surprise, the cost of reindeer has skyrocketed - Alaskan farmers and hunters rose their prices close to 80% over last year as the demand for reindeer and caribou is higher than it was last year - something about a supply and demand issue - I think it is a greed issue $$$.  All I really know is ---- it is the best flavored meat on the market with elk a close second.

Ground - 1# packages, 95-97% lean, $6.90/#

Durok - High End, All Natural Pork

On Monday July 9, 2007, we will have a new line of pork products that will be available.  This is an all natural durok pork. During a side by side comparison between the Durok and Berkshire - our current line that we carry, the Durok won 9 times out of 10 in the categories of cutting, flavor, consistency, color, and packaging - all areas we have received complaints on in the past with our Berkshire line.  No qualms about it - the flavor of our Berkshire line is awesome, but complaints and feedback have caused us to seek out a superior line of pork for our clients.  We will continue to carry the Berkshire line for clients wishing to purchase whole and half hogs - call for pricing and shipping or delivery options.

This pork only comes from certified Durok, small family owned farms.  Pork arrives to us fully cut, packaged, labeled and ready for YOU!  We have information brochures available for you to review if so desired.  Call Steve at 800-310-2360, he can answer any questions you might have about this great new line of pork.  FYI - This pork is currently not available at any grocer in the Midwest.

Wild Alaskan Salmon Jerky

I was informed of this product from our delivery driver "Ted".  He raved about the flavor and the protein content in this tasty dried treat, so much, that I needed to try it for myself.  I could not believe how addicting this stuff really is.  We got our first shipment of this delicacy in this morning and I have blown trough an entire package - it actually was a substitute for my lunch and it did the job of filling me up and giving me the energy I need to complete the day.  This is an All Natural product, NO Preservatives, NO really long words in the ingredients list, NO MSG, just great flavor.

We have 2 flavors - Original which is flavored with pure honey and sea salt, and Pepper/Garlic - This is self explanatory - they add Black Pepper and Garlic to the original flavor profile.  All spices are added prior to drying in order to insure the best flavor possible.

Each package is 3 oz, completely shelf stable, great for Backpacking, Fishing, Emergency Winter Survival packs for the car, Golfing, Cross Country Skiing - Ted's favorite, or as a healthy alternative to sweets.

Original - 3 oz - $6.25/package

Pepper/Garlic - 3 oz - $6.25/Package

Mix and match any 6 for $35.00 total.

This item is lightweight, shelf stable, and be shipped via US Mail or added to any of the products on this blog and our website.  Feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

Wee Willy's Around the World Grilling Sauces

What a neat husband and wife team that own this line.  I fell in love with the Mongolian BBQ sauce and the Cuban Mojo BBQ Sauce and had to have it in our store for everyone to get.  A very high end marinade and BBQ sauce.  You can see the spices, there is no MSG, corn syrup, or really long words in the ingredients list.  Just good All Natural Ingredients. 

Here is a link to there website - so you can check out ingredients, recipes, and get information and tips on BBQing.  www.weewillys.com

We will be featuring the Mongolian Sauce, Cuban Mojo, and Award Winning BBQ Sauce for $3.95/bottle - That is a good $1/bottle cheaper than the competition.

The Mongolian BBQ sauce is awesome when used on Beef Hanging Tenderloins, Flank Steak, and Skirt Steaks.

Berkshire Pork Cheek Meat

This is an awesome product for the chef with ideas or ones that love working with low end cuts with tons of flavor.  We are trying this item as we have had a ton of requests for cheaper cuts.  Packaged in 10# packages, vacuum sealed and ready for shipment or delivery. 

Call now to reserve this product for your next tasting menu, summer get together, or somply to have fun in the kitchen.  This item is great braised and used in ravioli.  For those of you not liking the pastry end of ravioli and the time invloved in preparation - use wonton skins instead - they are really easy to use, are very forgiving, and great deep fried.

Positive response to our current line of wild boar has given us new insight to some neat new items that are currently available.  All of the wild boar we currently stock is of the Feral Swine Breed out of Southern Texas.  Animals are free range and processed at younger ages, in order to keep them free of the strong musky scent they are so famous for.

4-6 oz Loin Chops - resembling a T-bone and in some cases a Porterhouse, on a small scale, 2/package, $7.99/#
