The Best Little Butcher Shop This Side of the Thompson River


Yesterday afternoon, I made my bi-weekly trip to Summit Gourmet Meats. The budget was stretched a little tight this month, so I decided to stock up on carne, only enough to last for one week. My purchases included, moving clockwise from the upper left: one pork cutlet, one large chuck steak, one pound stewing beef, one pound extra lean ground beef (divided in two), and one chicken breast, which was skin on and bone in. This bounty, with tax included, came to $20.75. This is a most exquisitely run establishment, and since its inception, I have felt liberated from the doldrums of supermarket meat shopping. Other items of interest include legs of lamb, all manner of sausage, and halal chicken. As an added bonus, the staff will provide lesser known cuts of meat on request. I look forward to a fatter pocketbook in the following weeks with which to stock my larder with even more of these tasty morsels. Summit Gourmet Meats is located in the Summit Shopping Centre, specifically at Suite 105C 1180 Columbia St W Kamloops, BC , V2C6R6. The phone number is (250) 372-8868.
