When I was kid in Muscatine, at a very young age, I remember my parents bought meat from a shop that was only 5 blocks away. in a residential area
I would assume any butcher shop would have better meat than a grocery store (or they would be in business any longer).
If you reply, please tell me the location as well.

JBS Swift in Marshalltown. Bring your English/Spanish dictionary. sounds like a gem, but damn that is a long drive. Their is a place (gas station) on e 14th north of university with a Winnebago parked out in front. That Winnebago has the greatest burritos I've ever had. I think the station is called Shop N Save. Anyway the moment you walk up to it you'll smell the fresh veggies. They don't speak a lick of english. If you ask about a meat though they'll give you a sample in a little paper cup. The burrito is more than enough for one person. Best 5$ you ever spent. |

This is an absolutely true story:
I was drinking with a bunch of friends one night a couple years ago at a place here in Columbia called Black and Gold. It is the shitholiest of shithole bars you can imagine. Beer served only in cans or aluminum bottles, guys go outside to take a piss...the whole nine yards.
We're pretty well into the night, starting around 6, it's about 9:30 or so at this point. This guy walks in with a butcher's apron on, covered in blood, holding 5 fresh steaks, offering to sell them to us for just 5 dollars a piece. Must admit, he was pulling all the sales tricks he possibly could, but obviously, none of us took the bait.
To this day...I'm not sure that was cow meat he was selling. By far one of the weirder instances I've ever had.
