Went to Sam's today-their revised meat dept is the best place for QUALITY meat in the area

veal scaloppine, veal Osso Bucco, frenched veal chops, Kobe steak, and tomahawk steaks

for a person who likes to cook @ home this is a find

I'm willing to bet there is not a restaurant in TV that will offer the above cuts on their menus

Or a resident willing to spend the money for these items in a restaurant!

Is it prime? I go to Winter Park to get those cuts and they are prime.

They have a lot of prime meat--their Kobe meat is $35 lb--there are only 2 restaurants in TV that claim to serve prime meat--Arnold Palmer & Nancy Lopez

Outside Turners Rose Plantation and Marks. I will def go to Sam's soon. A lot closer than driving to Winter Park for meat.

Most likely not Kobi buy Wagyu beef. Only a handful of places in the US have Kobi beef.

Thanks for the heads up. Our beef and pork is grass raised, for us. I have found it hard to find quality meat in TV. You just made my day

Sam's is trying hard (and succeeding imho) to emulate Costco. CS still has a way to go but is getting better. Food quality (and meat) has come a long way recently. The absolute best thing that Sam's has done is their use of technology. I downloaded their "scan and go" app and have bypassed the checkout lines the last few times I have visited the store. It is fantastic...scan the item, stick it in your basket, hit the pay button, and walk out of the store. Only restriction is on wine and beer. I expect that is for state restrictions.

Sams steaks are great.

I'm going to be O.K. I finally got back up on the chair. I did hit my head when I passed out from an almost rave review from #1. It really is true the meat at Sam's is phenomenal. Our company from N.J. both said that The Villages must have gotten its own Butcher Store like at home. I just evaded and said something to the effect of they did. We just came back from another round. We are all set. The freezer is stocked. I gave up on eating Lobster.

Cooking two beautiful steaks tonight Artie Bucco Style. LOL

$35 a pound. Wowser. Would it be as good if they ran a sale? Or is it bragging rights we are buying. So glad my family taught me how to cook the cheaper cuts into tenderness.

Gracie who loves her a good brisket or chuck roast...cooked low and slow.

Its great to know how to cook cheeper cuts, will be doing corned beef & cabbage on St Pats day--just thankful we don't have to = on a daily basis==ther really is a big difference in good food

Overall I like Sam’s meat selection. With that said, I think the NY strips are too thick. We will generally fillet them when we get home. The top round steaks use to thick, but now they seem to be cut thin. More like “sizzle” steaks. The center cut pork chops were so thick we passed on buying them. Maybe it was just the day we were there... I agree on the scan and go app. We Have been using it for a while. It really speeds up the process! I see where regular WalMart stores are beginning to use this app as well.
