Surely you didn’t miss the play of words in their name. The Wine'ing Butcher implies that they sell wine and meat.

Note the clever cleavers form a wine glass.

Certainly you wouldn't be out of line ordering an iced tea in a tavern.......that is an item that they have in stock,but BBS didn't do that. You leaned on Gretchen to order something special that is not much in demand.They are new and anxious to please and I think it was selfish to insist that they carry something that will, most likely,end up in the garbage.

Samiam...while I found it a bit strange she was surprised a "butcher shop" didn't have tofu and veggie burgers (actually I found it amusing), I certainly donot believe she intends to pressure them into a bad business decision or was trying to be "mean" in an way. Go easy now....

Weirs guy · 09-26-2007, 12:28 PM

Dear lord, when did the thread about the best butcher shop in the world turn to...

tofu? And veggie burgers?

Listen, if they want to sell salad food fine, just keep it away from the tips!

SIKSUKR · 09-27-2007, 12:55 PM

Stopped in yesterday to get my fix of steakhouse tips.Had them on the barbee last night.Yumm!!

Captain Zipper · 09-27-2007, 01:28 PM

and asked if she had a starter for a 99 Chevy Suburban with the 5.7 Litre engine. She said that was a special order but that she could get it within 24 hours and asked me if I'd like to have her install it too and if I'd like a pound of steak tips on the side.

Now that's a butcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I love about them, they're so accommodating.

Take it easy on the tofu crowd. She asked and Gretchen answered with the philosphy of "give the customer what they want".

Just more kudos to the WB.

Do you happen to know if they plan on carrying replacement windows? It's about time for an upgrade, and I figured I'd grab them there after buying some tips.

I Second, Third and Fourth that one.

Rattlesnake Guy · 09-27-2007, 07:18 PM

If I were a vegetarian, I would think this would be the last place I would go to buy my vegetables that look like burgers. It would be like me trying to pass for a woman at the miss universe pageant. Not the best backdrop for such a deception.

Captain Zipper · 09-27-2007, 08:56 PM

Here I was picturing WB's delicious showcase of steaks and now I have to picture you striding down the runway in a 2 piece bikini? I think I just lost my appetite.

I'm hoping I don't lose more than that.

Love yah man.

Rattlesnake Guy · 09-27-2007, 10:23 PM

Captain Zipper,
Thanks for the chuckle.

Here, focus, focus you should be fine in a minute.

SAMIAM · 09-28-2007, 09:40 AM

Just when we get all get a little snarly with each other,Capt comes around with a couple of very funny posts and shows us all that we can exchange opinions with good humor. Next time I pick up my weekly fix of grillmaster tips,I'm going to drop off my snowblower for a fall tune-up.

Captain Zipper · 09-28-2007, 10:05 AM

I don't think you'll be disappointed, my Suburban runs like a champ!

In all honesty though, that is what I love about this forum.......the humor that so many have.....it's like family..... where one person will ask something or make a comment that others think is dumb...........and like siblings we will make fun of it. (The rebuttles to the guy looking for a fishing partner comes to mind. Oh man did I laugh.)

Sometimes it gets ugly but for the most part the better side in all of us shines thru in the end.

My best to each of you.

OK, new forum rule. You may never post a picture like that again. Especially if I'm going to see it at lunch, on Friday, when I'm going to be gone for the weekend and can't make it to the WB.

sa meredith · 09-29-2007, 09:16 AM

Samiam...
The snowblower comment.........first time I have ever busted out in a deep down belly laugh while reading this board. Never saw it coming. Thanks for starting my Saturday at work with the laugh!

SAMIAM · 09-29-2007, 10:08 AM

Enjoy your posts too,SA...sometimes funny and always positive. So many nice people in this forum.

Rattlesnake Guy · 09-29-2007, 01:27 PM

How about at the next forum fest we have a wine and tip tasting event. It would be nice to know what flavors people like the best.

Captain Zipper · 09-30-2007, 04:42 PM

Not realizing the sheer volume of the "cult following" that has risen from these posts I think the WB would run out of meat by noontime.........they would be overwhelmed by people at their booth...........I think the National Guard would have to be on premises to stop people from rioting........it could really get ugly!

But ohhhhhh....those fortunate few that arrived early............with a belly full of steak tips.......................to witness the afternoon's carnage laid out before you...........would almost make the suffering of those latecomers that were not so fortunate........bearable.

Okay so what is the date? ..............somebody call Gretchen and give her a heads up.

DougNH · 10-01-2007, 09:22 AM

Picking up my supplies for the week on Saturday I was ordering multiple packages of the same meat. The person behind the counter realizing my order and offered to vacuum pack my bounty in individual packages. Seeing my 14 month old was screaming and terrorizing the store at the moment we declined however they said to feel free and call ahead and place an order and they would have it vacuumed packed for us. I thought this was an excellent idea.

I also mentioned this forum and they indicated that they do read it and take the feed back...

Weirs guy · 11-28-2007, 02:00 PM

bump.

So as I sat at home last night dinning on my freshly purchased grillmaster tips, and yes I am trying to get your mouth watering, my wife informed me that the butcher shop is NOW ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR CHRISTMAS MEATS!

hockeypuck · 11-28-2007, 02:29 PM

DougNH, is absolutely correct about the vac. pack. I called ahead last time I was in the area and had 12 two pound packs waiting for pickup. Pack them in ice in a cooler for the trip home (CT) & throw them into the freezer. Problem is friends and relatives are always begging for a pack so they are gone before you know it. They thaw in the frig in about 24 hours and grill up in about 10 minutes. Our favorite is the grillmaster. Thinking about making a run up to NH for the ice fishing derby and coming home with no fish but lots of steak tips. Now if they would only do mail order...hmmmm.
