I was having a winge about it being hard to find a good butcher and being tired of Supermarket meat in in arguably the world's best Deli (was Con's now known as Beecroft Village Deli) when the owner said I should go to Steve's. I did and I will keep going to Steve's. The meat is good quality and the cuts delicious - and you don't have to have all the fat trimmed off.
