Aged beef at Loblaws? [General]
2014 May 21
You are right and It know that. I only mentioned it because it would seem strange that since they carry "Prime grade beef" so seldom, which is quite a step up,from their usual not very good beef, I would be surprised if they went to the expense and bother of aging their beef. Didn't express myself very well.

Recently I bought AAA Ontario beef rib steaks at Riverside South Independent and they were the best steaks we've had for ages. Better than the local beef I usually buy from Manotick Village Butcher. When I went back the next week I told the Italian butcher at Independent how much we had loved the steaks and he told me he has the meat "hanging out back". I should have asked more details as he's happy to talk about his products.

Thiberius, I have not see that at the two Loblaw's I frequent the most - Merivale & Baseline and the Superstore in Westboro. However, the one on Isabelle has undergone extensive renovations and the next time I am in there, I'll have a look around. It is the nicest Loblaws I have ever been in and they carry a lot of stuff you don't see in some of the others don't carry so I will check out the meat. What are the prices like for the dry aged beef and how long is it aged for?

felinefan I shop at the Isabella Street Loblaws and I don't recall seeing a meat counter like the one in Thiberius's picture - I will have to look for one the next time I'm there. But they have a wall of cheese almost identical to the one in the pic above and it's just to the left of the deli counter. They actually have quite a nice cheese selection. And if that isn't enough cheese for you there is some more to the right of the deli counter - mostly Kraft products but they have Balderson and St. Albert cheeses there too.
The LCBO next door is ready to open any day now - I received a flyer in the mail from them yesterday and I'll be damned if I can remember the opening date-;) But I'm pretty sure it's this weekend so you can buy some meats and cheeses at Loblaws and pick up a bottle of wine after.
