After posting my Christmas cook thread, I received a number of PM's and requests within the thread to provide the details of where I get my killer beef tenderloin. In case you haven't seen it, here's a few pics:
Can you believe I pay only $11.99 a lb for this incredible beef? It's also fully trimmed eye of the filet, so it's ready to season/prep right out of the bag!
So here's the skinny:
Danny's Fresh Meat & Produce
17648 Vanowen St
Van Nuys, CA 91406
818 708-9775
(A couple of miles north from the 101/White Oak exit)
The owner's name is Eddie, and he's a super nice guy. They also have great ground chuck, drummetes, lamb, occasional prime ribeye, but the filet is just off the charts.
He gets his weekly shipment of meat on Thursdays, so Friday's a great time to go in. I highly recommend you call ahead, and ask him for how much you want (we usually get a 3lb piece, and cut it in half, reserving some for steaks which we freeze for later). If you need a large amount, say 20 lbs or more, he can do that as well.
Make sure when you call, to specify you want him to find you the very best he has on hand.
I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing some cook threads from some of you who give this a go...
