We picked up a Ross whole chicken, some flank steak, beef shank, and a few eggplants from the…read morestore. Everything was flavorful, and I'm quite pleased with the quality. Prices are on the higher side--for instance, the whole chicken is $7 per pound--but it's lean and not fatty, which I see as a healthy sign. The store isn't large, but it operates like a typical supermarket: you pick your own produce and get meats over the counter. They also carry spices, stocks, and snacks. Checkout is self-service near the exit, and I believe paper bags are free. The ambiance was lovely--on the day we visited, the store was decorated with fresh groceries and flowers. It wasn't busy, and parking was easy right out front.

Think of this place as a brick and mortar farmers market. The staff are helpful and friendly. They do not accept cash and it's self checkout. They keep it simple but the quality of the meats are incredible and can't wait to taste mine when I get home tonight.

Dai Due is built on the philosophy that every ingredient sourced in the restaurant is local…read more Starting with the drink offerings, every beer they offer at Dai Due is crafted in Austin. All the wines are made in Texas. Everything is local. The grains are local, the olive oil is local. The fats and butter come from locally raised animals. Creativity thrives under constraints, and these constraints make everything Dai Due stands for a strong selling point to me. This leads to an ever-changing menu based on the season's harvest and what's accessible in Texas. Okra is abundant in the Texas summer, so they got okra options. That's the gist of Dai Due. They are capital L local, and they're proud of it. We threw a 5:30 pm reservation down a few weeks prior to get a nice meal before our concert at the Moody Center across the highway. We arrived right at the start of our reservation time to a full parking lot. One thing they mention on the reservation page is to be warned of their small parking lot. Luckily, a guy was leaving as we pulled in, so we nabbed a spot. Once we walked in, we were seated pretty instantaneously. On their one-page menu, there were plenty of delicious options of appetizers, mains, and sides, plus the back containing wine, beer, and other drink options. I ordered the Meanwhile Brewing German-Style Pilsner on draft while my girlfriend ordered a glass of the Vermentino from Duchman Family Winery. For starters, we split an order of their Parisa. Parisa originates from the Medina County region, where my parents live, so I am quite familiar with Parisa. For those unaware, it's a ground beef delicacy (which usually means it's gonna be something peculiar and quirky in my opinion) made with raw beef, cheese, jalapeños, and lime juice. I've eaten my fair share of it while visiting, and it's usually served with traditional saltine crackers. Here at Dai Due, it's served with homemade tortilla chips. The Parisa here was way fresher than the kind I buy off the shelf at Dzuik's, as I could tell from the redness of the meat. Here, it was served with grated cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and diced onions, and presumably lime juice. It was delectable and was like a steak tartare with ten times more personality. It was probably some of the best Parisa I've had, and I've had it from the source. For our mains, I ordered the Wild Boar Confit while my girlfriend got their Spicy Aoudad Meatball Skewers. We got a side of their grilled okra to complement our meals. Honestly, the pace of how the food came out was sharp. There was never a lull moment, and it felt like once we finished our appetizer, our mains were coming out. The Wild Boar Confit was truly exceptional. The watermelon flavors on it were subtle but added a lot of character. On top of the brick of glory was fresh dill, jalapeños, mint, and a watermelon rind relish. It was really special. The confit really tasted like an upscaled and earthier short rib, packed with more flavors in the meat. It was so exquisite that after I gave my girlfriend a bite to try, she immediately decided that we would swap plates. It wasn't an ask. I couldn't negotiate. She made the executive business decision regardless of what the other shareholders at the table (me) felt. My fate was sealed. I would be eating the... Spicy Aoudad Meatball Skewers. I confuse ovine meats sometimes. An Aoudad is a wild goat-sheep. They were served on wood skewers with a chile yogurt sauce that was creamy but didn't hesitate to add an extra touch of heat. The cucumbers on the side were the only way to counteract the heat of the course and the morita salsa served with the Aoudad. The Aoudad was very flavorful, and the heat was manageable, but still strong enough to claim the spicy in its name. Sometimes spicy feels like they just mean peppery, and this obviously is NOT that. We ultimately had a 50/50 split of both meals, which allowed us to try more of what Dai Due had to offer. The side of the grilled okra was a much-needed differentiation from the intense levels of meat consumption we had, and balanced it with some much-needed fiber and digestion support. The pickled peanuts were a first for me, as they were almost like chickpeas in terms of texture. The curry mayonnaise was light but a nice touch to the sweet and almost nutty flavor of the okra. To close, my girlfriend got a glass of Valkyrie's Kiss's Blackberry Gold Mead, which was a nice closer to our great meal. Through the entire visit, the service was exceptional. The space is incredibly clean and comfortable, and they had a great playlist of music running on the speakers. We'll have to come back in another season and experiment with more of their spring or winter options. Dai Due is to die for! RIYL: A one-of-a-kind, locally-sourced meal down to the atom.

I had the Central Texas breakfast with the wild boar boudin and the biscuit. The boudin was very tasty and came skinless, which I was happy about. The potatoes were perfectly crispy but soft inside. The biscuit was good, but not the best I've had. My husband did the fried fish and shrimp patty sandwich and he really liked it. The beef tallow fries came with a great sauce. I'd wanted to try the sourdough pancake, but they were out, so, next time. Would recommend for a unique experience. Random note: They do not serve egg whites here as they wish to reduce food waste. As someone who just doesn't the way egg yolks taste, I was taken aback, but also I understood and respect the sentiment.

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

Apparently you can't even use the restroom if you are a paid customer. So good luck if you have a little kid who needs to go. The lady who works there wasn't very nice about it and was wearing pants with the f-word all over them. More power to you if that's your style, but maybe don't wear stuff like that at your job where kids come in regularly. Or really any job that isn't a punk rock bar. Overall I still like Thom's and hope they go back to the friendlier vibe I was used to.

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time, but their hours that they are open made that…read morehard to do. I thought it was odd that they would be closed on weekends when people have the time to shop along with being closed before people get off work. But those hours make sense when you realize they produce for distribution, not dine in. There's almost 30 reviews so far, but I was surprised that not a single one of them included any photos. If you're coming to this part of town, parking is always a concern in this area. The good news is that there are about eight places to park at here, otherwise you'll have to park in the street, but at least there's no kiosks. As soon as you pull in, the air is filled with that familiar smoky aroma. However, once you step inside, you suddenly realize that this is not a place you can dine in. Basically the first 10 feet of hallway is where the customer service takes place. There is a cold case with all of their sausages on display, including a little beef jerky, and that's it. I have to admit I wish they had brisket and ribs too. They do make a tamale-based sausage for Christmas as a seasonal item. The prices are very reasonable and there is no tip screen. This is not just a grab and go operation, their sausages can be found in virtually every H-E-B. So the good news is that you can find them here or at your favorite H-E-B. Check out the nine photos included.

Being a mail order customer isn't for the faint of wallet because it makes sense to order at least six cheeses at a time, and that's not a small amount of money. Trying to factor in the timing is also part of the experience. Some of their cheeses can be frozen, and some are recommended to not be, like the brie. They recommend consuming the cheeses within 7 days of opening. It's just my husband and me in the household, so finishing a whole package of cheese in a week's time could be daunting. Speaking of the brie, it wasn't my favorite of the selection I received, which was a curated collection of Lorie's from Shark Tank. When we first got the delivery Dear Hubby and I set up a charcuterie tray for ourselves as a late lunch / early dinner. So many wonderful tastes! It was a delightful experience to mix the cheeses with crackers, salamis, Mediterranean olives, and fruit / jam. The sweet chevre offering was divine. Might have been my favorite. We opened four of the cheeses to sample them and left two for later. It's been wonderful for me to have better vegan cheeses than what the local grocery stores tend to stock. Real flavor! Real creaminess! With the holidays approaching, I'm considering when to place another order to carry me through the time when having special cheese would add to the edible side of the season.

Since there are really two things to talk about here, the grocery store and the cafe. Both deserve a shoutout. Grocery If you're into health food and local Austin brands, this place has you covered. It's not a huge store, but the selection is solid and thoughtfully chosen. Lots of organic options, pantry staples, local brands, and of course, the famous popcorn tofu. It's a great alternative to the big chains, and you can tell they actually care about what they're putting on the shelves. Cafe The cafe is an underrated gem. Great sandwiches, a build-your-own salad bar, and some nice grab-and-go options like sushi. It's perfect for a quick lunch and offers healthier options than fast food. It's worth mentioning this location might be closing in the next year or two because of city mobility projects, which is a real loss for this part of town. Places like this matter, so it's worth showing them a little love while they're still here, and hopefully giving them reason to pop back up somewhere nearby down the line.
