On-Line Butcher

[AZPete]

Has anyone had any positive experience with an on-line butcher?

I am trying to locate a supplier of either button-ribs or riblets. None of our local grocery stores carry them (I know just about every grocery store in the mid-west has boxes of frozen ribelts or featherbones) and I would love to cook some up for a party that we are having in a few weeks.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've ordered some fancy stuff like steaks and a prime rib. Most on-line dealers are kinda spendy, and shipping costs are high. Try talking to your butcher or grocer about including a order for you in with their order, then you won't have to pay shipping. (Be sure to make some extra and take some in to him along with a couple of fatties, it never hurts). My neighborhood grocery carries these beef "chuck riblets" and they come in the Cryo packaging and are good. They only take about 4 hours or so to barbecue, much less time than the full beef racks.
