Hey Zip - I'm not sure I'd pay $45 a pound for ANYTHING, but if I did, I'd want Julia, Puck or Emeril right there with me making sure I didn't blow it!
I posted about the WB in another forum asking about where to find good meats under the General Topics, but I know I look for food on this section myself. Those prone to the power of suggestion, get a snack first before reading on...
The pre-marinated steak tips are $8.49 a pound (which my mother thought was outrageous until she tasted the terriyaki and the Grillmaster - her favorites and mine. Now she asks when she can come over for dinner for those yummy steak tips). There are a ton of flavors or just plain. The quality is #1 - grocery tips can have lots of fat or large veins of cartilage in them that make them very chewy. The one's I've gotten are trimmed and ALWAYS tender all the way through.
But wait there's more....
The marinated boneless Chicken breasts are $5.99 a pound and are also amazing and they grill up right. Don't know what planet those chickens grow on, but one half breast can feed 2 people. I recommend the Key West flavor or Tomato Basil (which is also quite yummy in pasta dishes).
They don't stop at marinated and butcher style meats though.
Their wine selection is very good (don't go looking for Boone's Farm or Gallo though).
Their chicken salad with cranberries is yummy. They even make potato salad, baked beans, pasta salad and other sides to go with your meal so it isn't just about the beef (did I just say that?). These sides are well prepared and very hearty, the beans have those little hunks of pork in there and the chicken is all white meat.
Kudos to the WB staff for knowing how to make their prices worth paying with their attitude, knowledge and high quality products (notice the order - that was on purpose)!!!
Off to grill up my terriyaki tips for supper!!!!
