I buy ALL of my meats from Hirsch's in Plano. He is located on thE NW side of Parker/Alma, facing Parker.

I have done business with Gary and Nancy since they opened the market. They absolutely have the best quality products.
Beef: You have a choice of Prime Grade or Choice Grade. The steaks you buy there are from the same sources where the top quality Steak houses purchase. You get a Del Frisco, III Forks, Ruth Chris quality steak. You get what you pay for....they are not cheap but if you ever have one, you will not ever buy from a grocery chain again. Although, We have purchased a good steak at Market Street. I buy the ground round and ground chuck, roasts, everything.
Pork: They make fresh sausages that are to die for. I believe they supply Fireside Pies in Plano with their sausages. We love the Hot Italian, but he has a good selection. The thick Iowa cut pork chops are great. Pork Loin, again....everything. I use the pork loin for city chicken and it is great.
Chicken: FRESH chicken. You can't go wrong.
He also has fresh seafood. My family is not that fond of seafood so I do not purchase seafood. We are a strong beef, pork and chicken family.
He does have a freezer with quail, buffalo, vension. Premade burgers (so easy).
You can order freezer packs, special aged steaks and I believe he has Kobe steaks as well.
I go about once every 2 months and spend about $250 to keep my freezer stocked.
It is WELL worth the money.
Also, sign up on his website for specials. He has special coupons you print for the special of week and you can get some good deals....Example....a $13.99/lb t-bone for $7.99/lb, 5lb bags of chicken, etc. I get his email about every 2 weeks iwith a coupon. You must take the coupon into the store and present when ordering.
If you go, tell him Susan sent you.... I have sent a LOT of people there and no one regrets it.
Yummy...that reminds me that I need to run by there today!
