Incredibly disappointed in the TLB. I've been a fan for a long time, especially their dry aged…read moremeats, and am more than willing to pay for this type of product. Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.

While strolling the streets of Winter Park, we stopped in and looked at all the goods from meats to prepared foods. With a large selection of aged beef, it cannot be missed. There are two restaurants inside that are Swines and Sons as well as a poké bowl booth. There is also always an employee around to help. With that being said, customer service here is top notch, as they are super helpful with every question you could ever ask.

Parking: 3.8/5 it's East End Market, parking is selective and few during peak times, the weekend and Fridays are always pretty busy. That being said, any other times you go parking might not be a problem. Service: 5/5 Hinckley ls one of the longest serving businesses in east end market, with that comes service knowledge, and the entire team knocks it out of the park Price: 4.5/5 not much else can be said here, do you like quality ingredients? Do you like great food? That comes at a naturally higher price. Where I think their great value is at, is inside the "deli case" if they have their chicken salad there it's worth picking up. Ambiance: 4.2/5 the store front is in a prime location with an extremely open plan, it's got a great flow to the front deli case and up towards a very legible menu screen, their tinned fish wall on the left is beautifully organized then flowing down is their wine selection. The only thing holding back hinckleys is east end market itself, this is due to the sometimes loud and unmatched music being played. * recommendation * oxtail and Egg is absolutely delicious.

I shop at other grocery stores too, but this place is definitely becoming one of my favorites. You can also bring your own reusable bags, which is a nice bonus.
