text: After a serious juice fast spent watching food documentaries about how we treat the animals we eat in this country I strongly considered becoming vegetarian Then I watched a film called Fresh about the grass fed and natural meat farmers That led me to google which led me to the meat shop which led me to stalking their website and facebook page for almost a month before I decided it was time to check it out My first visit was to get some brisket and few other things I thought I would try They cut the brisket to a flat cut which I prefer and knowing now for next time I will ask they trim the fat off since I am pretty sure I bought at least a lbs of it that I then had to cut off and discard a pork loin and some beef burgers All were excellent with the pork loin being my favorite nnMy second trip I got a lot more adventurous A rib eye NY Stripstill in my freezer pork sirloin tip steaks a flat iron ground beef and baconoh the bacon The morning I made the bacon I referred to it as a life changing bacon experiencecome to think of it I have not had bacon since and do not know if I can That Is how good the bacon from The Meat Shop isnnCurrently my wife has become a vegetarian and I am eating a lot less meat right now too but I know that steak is waiting for me in the freezer and I know when I do want meat I am going to the Meat Shop Grocery stores are rip offs when comparing the quality you are getting The store might be in a questionable neighborhood but what part of Phoenix is not They are nice they are clean and you will not get a bad meal out of this food no matter how hard you tryjust do not cook the beef more than medium if you do you do not deserve the meat shop
