Sourcing Meat

medic92 · Oct 24, 2017

I live in a small town of 1900 in west-central Illinois. St. Louis is the closest "real" city and it's 2 1/2 hours away. I'm looking for a more reliable meat wholesaler who can provide me with brisket, pork butts and baby back ribs without me worrying that they'll run short.

Who do you guys use? Is there a national level wholesaler out there? Sysco, US Foods, Reinhart, etc. are too far away.

I buy from four sources. Two being regional, one being local butcher, and Sysco.. I get the bulk of my stuff from Sysco.

You have a number of restaurants in Mount Sterling, they have to have someone deliver their food, and meat. Find out who they use. Just because you arent in a large city doesnt mean Sysco, US, or Reinhart wont deliver to your area. You may have limited number of days you can order, but will still deliver.

Contacting local restaurants is a good idea.
