I went to “the fresh market” this morning.
Not one TT behind the glass display case. I asked the 20something behind the counter for TT. His response was we don’t have TT. Near by was a 60something meat cutter (meat manager) and he said yea I have some in the back. I said I’ll take two and asked if it was prime. He said no and wanted know if I still wanted TT. Yes of course choice is better than nothing.
I could see him open a sealed cryopac of meat and proceed to sort thru it and trim two TT. He later said it contained six TT.
As he was weighing my TT I asked if he sells many TT. He responded, maybe one or two a week and it’s not a big seller. I then asked if i could order a whole cryopac of prime TT. A firm NO was the reply. I’m thinking since TFM is a chain, it’s meat is ordered at the regional corporate level by a bean counter. I’m sure the same applies for Publix too
Meat manger said unsold TT will be used for kabobs or ground for burgers .
Sorry about the long winded story.
I did purchase two TT and cheese for dinner tonight.
I hope TS Sally lets up long enough for me cook them this evening
