Went for a pleasant drive this morning with Tracker, Bones and Winemaker and while we were at it we stopped in a little store in Richmond Utah, just North of Logan because we had heard they sold goods to the general public.  What we found was a very nice, EXTREMELY clean little store with TONS of good food and very friendly and attentive people manning the counter.

The store is filled with all sorts of already cooked foods, mostly meats, but I did see some cheeses and BBQ sauce as well.

I asked the lady if it would be alright if I did a little advertising for them on my web site (this one) and of course she said it would be alright….with that, I gave her one of my wonderful “Bears Butt, don’t forget the ‘s'” cards…she smiled and probably tossed it in the garbage once I was out side.  Whatever she did or does with it is OK with me.

So, I decided to give them a plug on here and if you are ever in the area of Richmond and want to check out some great food, stop in there.  Today, and I assume every day, they had samples of several of their food items that you could try out.  We sampled the Pot Roast, Sliced BBQ Beef, Shredded Pork and Beef Taco.  There was another up for sampling but I don’t see it on their list of foods.  It was very good as were all the others.  Now for you samplers out there, they trust you to not to over indulge in their samples and even provide you with a personal spork (spoon/fork combo) and you can have napkins as well.  Please be courteous and just try a sample and not stand there and have your lunch…not that you would.

I have had their Pulled pork before and didn’t even know I was eating their food….Thanks Muskrat!  And I had some of their Pot Roast and it was some of the best I have ever eaten…and this is one of the reasons we stopped in their today.  We could not leave the place without picking up some of the sliced deli meats, pork roast ends and pieces and who can walk away from prime rib?

When you think about a plant that takes raw meat and cooks it to order for a restaurant or special service company that caters food, you have to figure there is going to be a certain amount of the food that will be left over from cooking that order.  This is where the store comes in to play.  They have tips and ends of the larger pieces of meat left over.  It’s cooked up with the rest, but does not meet the standards they have to sell to the restaurant or other customers, but it’s WAY TOO GOOD to throw away.  So they package it up and sell it at a very reasonable rate to people like you and I.  Heck, I have NO problem eating my fill of pork roast tips.  Just because when the big pork roast is sliced the pieces become to small to be made into “slices”, so they stop slicing it and toss the chunk into a pile.  When the pile is big enough, they package it up and sell it to me.  I like that!  Now all I have to do with it is heat it up and eat it.

Ok, nuff said.  Here is their current (May 6, 2014) prices.  Remember they have other items that are not listed on this list that they have because of special orders and it will pay you to stop in often and check their items out.  They also have daily specials and today we could buy one package of sliced turkey and get a second one free….that went for sliced beef roast as well, and they let us trade out the second package of turkey for one of the beef!  Good deal huh?  Also, not on the list, they had 20 pounds of “scrambled eggs”, for $15!!!!!  Can you imagine how many eggs need to be scrambled to make a pound?  I’d say at least two dozen!  So, 20 pounds would be 40 dozen eggs…..40 dozen eggs for $15!  Give me a break!  That’s only 38 cents a dozen!!!!!  And they are cooked!  I digress.

The list is kind of small (a cross between my abilities and this web site), but save it to your computer and make it bigger.

I want you to notice something about the price list that I find funny.  Everything has a “people per pound” suggested serving except the Ribs and Rib tips…..That’s because people like me just can’t get enough of good tasting ribs!  So how could they put a people per pound  or better yet a Pound per person statement on them?  They can’t….if you are in the market for serving a bunch of people ribs, you best count on two pounds of ribs per person and then HOPE that Aunt Martha, Uncle Ben and Cousin Charlie are “no shows”.

So, give them a try!
