I went to the West Side Market on a Saturday morning. Yea, I know. I don't really know what I was…read morethinking either. It was a chaotic, glorious mess of old and young Clevelanders bustling around grabbing local goodies. You couldn't walk 2 steps without accidentally tripping on a stroller. Let's just say it wasn't the environment for the easiest shopping trip. I guess what I'm trying to say is that on days like that, you aren't expecting the best customer service from a swamped merchant at the market. But in a lucky twist of fate, Fosters Meats came through with the perfect amount of helpfulness, knowledge and patience. Hallelujah! Jason, Kelton and I stopped by the WSM for a roast and some fresh bread. We didn't think it would take long so we scooped up the first 15 minute parking spot we could find. The first steps we took inside I was thinking we might want to move the car--with this crowd we were going no where fast! We didn't move the car, but we did start to make our way through the crowd until we spotted the first meat counter, Fosters. We were immediately noticed and asked if we needed help! Wow. So, Jason quickly explained what we were looking to cook and how many we were serving hoping to get some guidance on what to purchase. The Foster's employee cut us the perfect portion of beef at the right price and it turned out delicious! He even worked with the credit card minimum to make sure we were happy campers and got us out in time to move our car! Polite, quick, efficient, helpful and actually smiling! Yes, I as surprised too! I mean, if I were working on a busy Saturday at the West Side Market, I'd be one crabby broad. I could learn a lesson or two from the Fosters folks, that's for sure.

The smoked hungarian sausage was pretty tasty. The quality is excellent. They have a good selection and great service. I'll visit again soon.

Ohmygod... chicken beer bratwurst…read more Even during on a Saturday afternoon on Memorial Day weekend it was worth a trip over to Kaufmann Poultry for our cookout the next day. And as always, the folks were friendly and super-helpful! Besides that damn credit card minimum, I see not one negative about this place. You'd think it wouldn't be hard to rack up a hefty price tag with all their awesome poultry products, but everything is so cheap it's crazy! We got 3lb of chicken tenders to marinate for kabobs and 4 beer brats, which just got us over the $10 min. Let me just say the brats alone were worth $10 in taste alone and I'm definitely coming back for the burgers and breakfast sausages! The tenders were perfectly trimmed, mild and... well, tender! I typically pound out chicken a little but with these it wasn't needed. Kaufmann, you have my poultry business for life!

They are so busy I usually call a day or 2 before and put my order in The spicy Italian is my favorite. I also really like the traditional chicken breakfast sausage. Have you ever had chicken sausage where you bite into a piece and you can not chew it. Totally disgusting. This never happens here. I sometimes buy the spicy Italian in bulk and make a huge pot of spaghetti sauce with mushrooms and San Marzano tomatoes. The other poultry products are very good. The chicken appears really fresh and is pretty tasty. They also have really friendly customer service. Places like this make it almost impossible to go vegetarian! They even have rabbit meat. I have always wanted to try it! Does it taste like chicken?
