Believe it or not, this post is not about THAT type of meat market, where male singles and female singles meet. Actually, that’s a “meet market.”
Back last year, I wrote a blog for the Commercial Appeal called Deal of the Week, where I picked the best deals in consumer electronics. One week I had a reader leave a comment (I had the comments turned on for that blog) asking me to recommend places to buy meats and cheeses. I was at a loss because that’s not my area of expertise.
However – I have heard from two different people in the past week that the place to go to buy top-quality meat at an affordable price is Charlie’s Meat Market at 4790 Summer. That’s in between Stratford and Mendenhall on the north side of the street. One of my regular drinking buddies told me he got four 12 oz. filets for $6 apiece there. Not a bad deal.
Hope this helps. I don’t know the Charlie’s people personally but I’ve heard good things about them from enough sources that I believe they’re the real deal. Check them out if you need meat for a summer cookout.
