So, as you're driving down the I-5 and looking for a place to get delicious sandwiches, this is the perfect spot! And, while you're there, stock up on wide variety of handcrafted sausages, brats, beef sticks, bacon, marinated meats, dry rubs and more! We brought an insulated bag with ice packs to put them in. We grabbed some for family we were visiting in Sacramento and stopped again on our way back home to stock up. We tried the Brisket and Ribeye sandwiches. The bread got soft fast, maybe a little too soft. They were both hot sandwiches so not sure if it was from a little too much bbq sauce, juices from the meat or how it's wrapped. The brisket and ribeye were tender and juicy. I liked the Ribeye a little more since it had mushrooms, bell peppers and onion. I would have liked the bread to be more toasty since we ate the sandwiches there. But, that's my preference; I love more texture in my food. Loved the variety of sausages, brats and beef sticks that we got. The bacon was a lot thinner than we're used to. We bought lots of their dry Wolfsen's seasoning since it's one of my bf's favorites! I loved that the beef sticks that weren't too oily and very tasty. I wish we had gotten more of them! The sausages were so flavorful!! We tried them in a variety of dishes. We really liked the Smoked Blueberry Bratwurst, Smoked Andouille Sausage, Smoked Chuckwagon sausage, Cajun Style Smoked Sausage and Smoked German Pork Sausage.

What a fabulous place! Will for sure be stoping back again when coming down I5 as well worth the…read moresmall detour! Had the tri tip sandwich and it was amazing! Took home a bunch of sausages. How this place did not have a line out the door at lunch time baffles me. Staff were fantastic too!

Stop in on my way to Medesto, one not too shy away from a good breakfast burrito…read more I'm thinking this place's name is Newman "Food" Center, anyway this is a well stocked store, it's clean and faced up beautifully. The variety is amazing here, if there were a zombie apocalypse head over here. From fresh produce and meat to boots and propane. Service at the taqueria in the back to the checkout up front was polite and quick, though we did get some second glances for being old white folk but it's most definitely a Hispanic store and that's exactly what we needed. We ordered a couple burritos, one with ham and egg the other with just eggs rice and beans. Both were good enough and filling but nothing really special about them to brag. We grabbed a few pastries before we left which are made in-house and they were delicious. Last words...zombie apocalypse.

ALMOND LOVER?? Looking for a healthy snack?? Want something you just can't get enough of? Get some…read morealmonds from Nunes Farms! I first heard of Nunes Farms at a potluck. We were all sitting around chatting when the hostess brought out a bowl of almonds for us to snack on. Let me tell you. That was perhaps the BEST moment of the whole potluck! We finished a 2 lb. bag of almonds ($13) in roughly 45 minutes. Ridiculous right? But trust me, once you start, you won't be able to stop either. Anyway, it's been six months since I've started ordering In-Shell Almonds Salted from Cindy at Nunes Farms, and I have yet to be disappointed. I typically speak with Cindy; she's extremely friendly and helpful, so ask for her if you can! If you're not an almond lover, don't be shy. Nunes Farms sells other goodies and snacks too, like chocolate, toffee, pistachios, etc.

First impressions, the signage fits the downtown well, and is visible enough that makes them easy…read moreto find in downtown Gustine. Seating area consists of 3 tables, and they've got one of those mini arcade games for the kiddos as well. Overall pretty small dining area but Gustine isn't a big city so didn'texpect a ton of seating. Menu is displayed on a couple of monitors in the wall as you come in. The pasta is cooked in an open kitchen right behind the counter as you order. Pretty neat to be able to watch them make your order. Ordered the Volcanic Fettuccine because who doesn't like a spicy Italian dish right? Got it in a bread bowl with added chicken so cost was just shy of 20 bucks because of the upgrades. Didn't end up eating on site because it was really close to closing time for them and didn't want to be "that guy" so took my order home. The fettuccine was really good, cooked well, and the sauce was actually spicy. Not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it did have a nice kick. I'd definitely have it again. Overall, nice family run place with home made pasta. Would have ordered a pizza, but they ran out of pizza dough, since it is house made they don't have any extra in the fridge/freezer like you'd expect at a lot of places. If you are in the Gustine area looking for some really good home made pasta check them out. Definitely worth the drive.

I decided to try the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken in a bread bowl and hubby had volcanic fettuccine with chicken. The chicken and Alfredo were seasoned.

There was no line at the carneceria and the butcher was quick to help us when we went up to the meat counter. Carneceria Meats Purchased: Short-ribs, Carne Asada (marinated) I know that you can't control how fatty the ribs are at times but they gave us very good pieces of short-ribs where we didn't have to trim them too much nor did we have to throw pieces away due to the fat. Asada was average price ($16.99) but it was very good Their tomatillo salsa was so good. Perfectly spicy. Their chicharrones were also a hit. I was able to pick up every thing we needed for a quick BBQ. Tortillas, tomatoes, beer...it was nice to have a market so small, have it all. Def will be back.

So, my sister is on these mommy bulletin boards, where mothers can give each other new and exciting…read morethings to freak out about. One of their topics was the wonder of of grass-fed beef. "Oh, all natural wonderful grass-fed beef." So, my mom decided to split a half-steer with some friends, and fill her freezer with beef for 8 bucks a pound. Let me just say as a person who has cooked with and eaten this stuff, it's been a huge disappointment. I'll air my grievances from least-to-most disturbing. Firstly, the meat distribution is not accurate. Out of a whole freezer there was 4 teeny steaks from the tenderloin. There was 1 package of 3 weirdly cut New Yorks, and there was 1 rib steak. The rest is mostly chuck, rump, and TONS of ground beef. Ground beef up the ying-yang. As the steaks come frozen and must last in the freezer for a long time, it was very surprising to see the meat horribly packaged. Thin, flimsy "vacuum" bags are sealed poorly, so none of them are either water or air proof. This is what gives your food freezer-burn. Gimme a freakin' break! Taste and texture are extremely lacking. Blah, blah, blah, grass-fed. I don't feel nearly a great enough sense of self-satisfaction to offset the utter crappiness of this meat. The tenderloin was tough...enough said. Everything was also too lean to braise. Total rip. The final and most disturbing thing is the fact that they under-weighed every thing by 2 ounces. Every single ground beef package that I have used weighs 14 ounces, with a 1lb label on it. They really are willing to pinch your ground beef sack, man...that's just cold. So let's just recap here. 8 bucks a pound for mostly ground beef. Poorly trimmed and packaged meat. Shoe-leather tough meat. Lying and shorting customers in an underhanded way. Should you give them your money? Absolutely freakin' not.
