I asked a few questions before purchasing some aged beef steaks at one time when I tryed this butcher and one person in particular behind the counter became quite nasty and did not want to answer any questions. As far as the beef goes I have had many dry aged prime steaks from locations across the nation, but the foul smell from this meat indicated something wrong with the aging process, I never returned again. I never found aged beef with a foul odor from any other qualified butcher anywhere. I rinsed the meat before preparing and that is advisable with any meat or fish before preparing. I HAVE MANY REVIEWS ON CITYSEARCH FROM LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE USA AND 99% ARE POSITIVE. I TELL MY EXPERIENCE JUST LIKE IT IS, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST ANY ESTABLISHMENT I AM JUST DESCRIBING MY EXPERIENCE. I SPENT YEARS AROUND THE GOURMET FOOD INDUSTRY AND ONLY SEEK OUT THE BEST QUALITY...... THE BEST MEAT MARKETS ARE ON ARTHUR AVE IN THE BRONX. AND CHEF'S AND ANYONE THAT KNOWS FOOD WILL TELL YOU THE SAME PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE TRI-STAE AREA TO SHOP THERE THAT IS A KNOWN FACT.
Cons: Nasty Attitude
