re: Officially done with Rouses on Airline (highland)

Rouses grinds their meats, cuts steaks, and so on.
Every store has full service butcher's on duty everyday.

Simply ask.

Martini said meet him at the Rouses parking lot on Airline (highland) today at noon.

I find it hard to believe that the same click of blowhards on this board have had such horrible experiences, yet the various Rouses stay open. Perhaps it’s local management or maybe you folks are the most unlucky dozen shoppers in the universe.
Rouses seems to get positive reviews from most except the select few here who still are pissed LeBlanc’s sold out.

Perhaps you should direct your ire at LeBlanc’s ownership. They took the money and gave their customers ( y’all apparently) a big F U.

FWIW, I’ve shopped at Rouses in the LP and Laffy. Both stores were fine. Service was good as were the items I purchased.

This isn't exactly an isolated case of a few folks. I can only speak for myself, friends and family in the area. We've all experienced the same thing. You can look at the overflowing parking lot at Ralph's in Gonzales after the takeover. I've had some choice mutterings for the Leblanc's family, but I'd sell out for the right price as well.

“They say ‘fresh’ ground meat, but standard practice at the grocery store is that it’s ‘fresh’ ground from something that’s been previously ground. Most places get big bags full of previously-ground meat that’s coarsely ground, and then they grind that again and mark it as fresh” explained Ragasa.

Supermarket ground beef typically comes from many cows, and is ground and packaged somewhere else before it's shipped to the store. "Because they're processing from all these different sources, there's a higher risk for contamination from E. coli," Underly said of supermarket ground beef.

You think every store is documenting these procedures?

If you pick a piece of meat and ask the meat counter guy (not many could be called butcher) to grind it for you then maybe you are getting fresh ground meat. If you are buying ANY they have in the case or pre-packaged chances are it is brought in already coarsely ground and then ground again to make it look fresh. The amount of ground beef sold at grocery stores makes it prohibitive. No one meat counter can trim and cut enough to make ground beef. Any trimming done is simply added to other previously ground at the meat packer. There isn't a chain grocery or any grocery for that matter that is getting half sides of steers and butchering onsite. It hasn't happened in 30 maybe 40 years. All meat is box meat and broken down. A meat cutter is simply that, cutting a couple roasts of a cryovac shoulder clod or cutting steaks out of a cryovac ribeye. The packers don't send "trim" to be cut open and ground. It comes already ground.

Don't take my word for it. Just ask at a few meat counters. Educate yourselves before discounting a discussion you don't care to participate in.

and yet you link 3 threads from the FBD. Its not like you posted sources outside of this board, which is why I wonder if its as bad as represented here, or if its just a handful of posters here who have hardons for Rouses b/c they bought out the local favorites.

The quality has gone down a ton after Rouse's bought the LeBlanc's on Airline in Duplesis. The hot bar/prepared foods are terrible. At first I thought it was some of the old Leblanc's leftover employees sabatoging, but it's been pretty terrible for over a year. Used to go there damn near every day for lunch, not any more. Some days there isn't even anything on the hot bar until 11:30am. I'm usually hunting lunch by 11:00am.

Most grocery stores aren’t grinding their own fresh meat anymore either. They take the big tubes of ground meat and run it through the grinder than package it and make it look like they ground it fresh.

Maybe Walmart. Places with a butcher don't do this.

Looks like we’ve got another poster on loan from NASA.

Do some research Einstein.

If you don’t have anything to contribute to the thread except your typical douchebag comments how about going away?

Another Paul Allen alter right on schedule.
