I post this here for carnivores who may travel to StoDgo to see instead the Santo Domingo forum.
We were in the Capital this week committing capitalism and at the suggestion of a friend visited Meat Depot on Charles Sumner. The store is a block or so from Churchill and just a couple of blocks from Price Smart.
Wow! What an interesting place!
Meat Depot has an amazing variation of meats and especially beef, both choice and prime. I suspect El Encanto in Santiago gets their selection of beef from these guys.
I even saw a prime 6lb+ Tomahawk ribeye!
I bought several cuts including a nice ribeye for dinner Saturday night. I bought two 12oz. pork ribeyes that were fantastic earlier this week! They had all manner of cuts, quality and packaging available, including some from smaller, eclectic US specialty butchers. MD also has a nice variety of "gourmet" foods and cheeses. We bought a 1lb. block of honest-to-Buddha bleu cheese for homemade salad dressing and Gruyere cheese for an onion soup topper.
The store itself is IKEA-esque in that it's not open like a traditional grocery store, but instead, you wind your way through it. Even checkout is different, almost like a concierge system.
I know when the beef locker gets low, we'll be back!
