want a traditional steak I would really encourage you to go to Cattleman’s Steakhouse a few miles east of El Paso at the Fabens exit. They raise their own cattle, and to me this puts it ahead of the places that serve "...

to retailers. And while there are a lot of cattle in Florida most of our calves are shipped north and west to feedlots before processing. Link: http://www.animal.ufl.edu/facilities/meat/

No, grain fed is entirely correct, think feedlots, not pastures. The Pollan book Omivoire’s Dilemma is a MUST read for anyone who likes food,

) that Mendenhall uses. There’s no feedlot significantly closer to Pico Rivera than the pastures of Mount Palomar is. The environmental externalities (i.e., carbon footprint, along with other ecological and social damage) of...

beef, grass fed and finished on several grains, and not subjected to crowded feedlots as in Iowa, is morally superior. Are we being too smug?

And there is nothing in particular that sets Harris Ranch beef apart from any other beef, it comes from a huge, huge, huge feedlot adjacent to I-5 in central California. It’s available in super markets in California and is...

Cookshop has great beef as does their sister restaurant Hundred Acres. Savoy in soho sources from local farms. Fortunately, there are not a lot of huge agriprocessor/feedlots near NYC so if the beef is natural and local,...

nearby... but I cant seem to find it. The stuff served at La Fiesta, Mi Mexico, etc is fine...but its not Mexican and its way over priced. I find it hard to believe that the local population continually supports all of the...

I agree that Industrial meat is bad for us and the planet. However, 15% of our continental land masses are grasslands not suitable for cultivation. Grassfed beef is far better for you than the cornfed feedlot stuff, so try to eat...

I completely disagree on the steak. I still think it is the best in town. I suspect it comes from grass fed beef rather than grain fed western feedlot beef because the texture is quite a bit chewier than I am used to – not...

Harris Ranch is good....but their beef is the "feedlot" variety – which you may want to avoid.

good sign. And because they do a good biz, the turnover of product is high, ensuring some level of freshness. Good luck at the races — I’m thinking of dropping by myself. Any feedlot noise you’d care to share?...

be VERY hard to crack the shells, though, it’s a workout. :-) http://www.lobsters.org/press/shellgame.html I don’t like feedlot, meavily marbled, grain fed beef, either, as compared to leaner and more flavorful and...

um, yeah. MOJ is as bad as it gets. Kind of like industrial production. Customers are like cattle in the feedlot. Move in , feed, move out. We used to go there with kids because it was cheap and fast and sort of fun, but ever...

Kobe prices. No grocery store is going to stock a lot of that I would think. Dry aging has been around forever while finishing cattle in feedlots is a relatively new phenomenon.
