shop at Robert’s often. And I agree, they suck.

Sad how far they have fallen from the Matherne’s days.

Calandros will cut whatever you want.

They are my go-to now but if you ask them to cut anything special, you should make sure they are on the same page. I asked them if they could cut a full Tenderloin in 1/2 (they didn’t have smaller ones in the case and I wanted 1 /2 for a roast), he ended up trimming the entire loin cut it in 1/2 and ground up the trimmings/tail. After it was all said and done he said I had to buy it all if they open one up on request. I still buy some meat from them but won’t deal with their butcher anymore.

Freshmarket has some decent butchers and will work with you if you have a request. It is one of the few places I can find beef plate ribs in BR.
