My friend from Chicago swears by Romanian. What do the readers think? Sun Oct 21 23:00:37 -0700 2007 23088 justjoshing 1 3057304 Park East is supposedly the tops in NYC. Mon Oct 22 15:13:57 -0700 2007 3055378 12009 DeisCane 1 3058456 I will back you friend about Romanian's - IMHO the best butcher I have been to - Tue Oct 23 02:24:16 -0700 2007 3055378 11622 weinstein5 2 3058590 I am backing Romanians on this one. Outstanding Veal Chops. Tue Oct 23 05:38:18 -0700 2007 3058456 41195 JS69 1 3058908 I would say Park East, although I haven't bought anything from Le Marais' shop, which looks great. Tue Oct 23 07:42:39 -0700 2007 3055378 12131 tomby 1 3119388 i think as far as butchers go i would say the three that you have listed are the top three that i can think of in this country, if pearls of toronto is still arouns then they deserve a place too Mon Nov 12 19:31:29 -0800 2007 3055378 142137 cwsilverberg 2 3171291 "Perl's" had a fire over a year ago and has not re-opened on the same scale. They now operate a small, self-service butcher, with a different Hashgacha than everyone else (don't get me started!). I think the best kosher meat in Toronto is from Hartman's and Toronto Kosher is second. In my mind, they are both superior to Perl's and always have been and they are both lovely to deal with when making special orders, etc. Sat Dec 01 16:02:42 -0800 2007 3119388 14159 sherry f 1 3171529 I don't know if they are Glatt or Not but I liked Gordon and Alperin when I lived in MA Also in Orlando ( again not sure if they are Glatt ) is Amira's in Altamonte Sat Dec 01 17:57:00 -0800 2007 3055378 14996 cherylp3 2 3171794 I believe Gordon and Alperin is Glatt Sat Dec 01 20:49:22 -0800 2007 3171529 11622 weinstein5 1 3602520 Well, I haven't been to a ton of kosher butchers, but I certainly know my food and Tibor's is a pretty solid choice. It's not a big store, but they are clever about using the space well. The meat always looks fresh, the place is CLEAN, and they have just about anything you could want as far as meat products go. Where Tibor's really shines above other butchers is in the quality of prepared foods and house-smoked meats. The prepared foods are all authentic and excellent, especially the various schnitzels and the stuffed cabbage they offer. But the number one thing is the smoked meats. The smoked Turkey is outstanding, but the various homemade sausages and hotdogs are off the charts -- better than anything else out there (and I have tried them all). I think he is starting to sell his products outside of Cleveland, which is good because frummies should eat well too! Wed Apr 16 21:16:41 -0700 2008 3055378 152636 randallhank
