2/14--from customer Tom Merlini about the Piedmontese strip steaks:

Just wanted to let you know. I fixed up those Piedmontese steaks Saturday night. Pan seared, oven finished, nothing but a bit of black Hawaiian sea salt and some cracked tellicherry pepper on them. Amazing. I'd honestly have to say this was the best tasting tasting piece of red meat I ever had.
It reminded me of the first time I ate a Berkshire pork chop. I was amazed how you can eat something for your entire life and all of a sudden this thing tastes like nothing you ever had before. Be sure to let me know if you ever get any of this in tenderloin. Also, are there any of the strips left?

2/10--From Jeff Filter in California via email

Dear Hank and Sanford--You are dead-on right about the Piemontese steak. I do believe it is the best-tasting single steak I have ever cooked---and that covers 59 years! (18 of them in northeast Ohio). You can quote me on that one.
 

2/08  from Sandy Dobos of Sagamore Hills:

I've loved everything we've had so far.  It's Amazing.

  You've acquired another lasting customer.

Hello,
  First I would like to take the time to say thank you very, very, very much for your support to the troops. I am a soldier with 4th BDE 10th MTN DIV in Fort Polk, LA.  I know that when we recive things from people that we dont know and they send it just to show us their support it put a smile on my face and my soldiers faces.  With that being said I would like to know how big a brisket can be, and if you can give me a price on how much that will cost for you to send it to us down here for a BBQ that we will be having for a going away party. One of my soldiers is leaving us to go to SF next month.  We will be having another one for our deployment party and I would love to have a huge brisket and a few other meats.  We love to have BBQ's and we are always looking for a bigger better brisket.  Thank you for your time and your support.

Hi, Mr. Brisket!

to let you know that it arrived in great shape, the directions were just right,
and the beef itself was absolutely delicious. Thanks for such a great
product.
Best wishes,

Hank,

     I just wanted to give you some feedback on the two beef tenderloins I bought for a holiday dinner at our house. They were truly a sight to behold. They were trimmed perfectly and tied just enough so that they cooked uniformly. And, what quality! We had 12 people and I had considered making only one of the tenderloins, as they both were of substantial size. I thought again and made both of them. That was the right decision, as both of them were gone by the time we stopped feeding our faces. I received so many compliments about the quality of the beef that it made the entire evening a great experience. One of our guests, a local high school basketball coach, made the comment that it was the best piece of beef that he had ever had. Pretty high compliment. Just wanted to let you know they were that good. Keep up the good work. By the way, the short ribs I purchased from you were also excellent.

When I'd asked Charlie, before I left Cleveland, if there was anything I could bring him (obviously not salmon, caribou or moose) he immediately said "if you know of some really good pastrami" and I told him "have I got a pastrami for you!" 

You should have seen him hit that thing with the meat slicer practically as soon as I came in the door. And everyday he made gigantic NY-style sandwiches out of it till it was gone. The rye bread didn't meet the high standard of the pastrami but it doesn't matter. 
I cam home with a giant freezer box of sock-eye salmon, smoked salmon, berries and preserves.

 
Here are a couple of photos for your amusement. That critter was just off the deck in his backyard. I skinned and sliced that smoked salmon with an "ulu", an inupiat tool that is perfect for jobs like that. 

 
Best regards, 
Martha

Dear Sanford,
 
The pastrami arrived in excellent condition.  BTW the animal problem this time of year isn't bears, it's loose dogs.  But the box protected it and I left a note for the UPS guy to put it on the front seat of one of my old military vehicles.
It has been extremely warm, yesterday the high was 54!
 
thanks,
 
Charlie

I felt I should write you a note regarding the beef tenderloin I rec'd last year..I have been making the same recipe for roasting a beef tenderloin since 1975.  Appearing in a Chicago newspaper in 1975 was recipe from the chef and owner of a restaurant called the Bakery..the chef and owners name is or was as I believe he died , Louis Samathmary.  As it was only going to be served on Christmas Eve that year I tried the recipe.  It became traditional Christmas Eve dinner, and this will be our 35th year. While the recipe is simple it does require time.  Last year everyone said it was the BEST ever...believe me I have fixed it the same way for all those years..  I can only say this was the first time purchased the meat from your store....and everyone said it cut like butter.
So not only was the price great, the meat was great ,and that is why I have entered my order for another 2009 Chistmas Eve tenderloin. Bob Weaver

Mr. Brisket,  

I write to gush.  Last week I ordered a whole beef tenderloin which you trimmed and delivered.  I baked it and served it as part of a buffet luncheon for a bridal shower I was hosting.  It was absolutely delicious.  All of my guests raved, and they licked the platter clean!  Thank you so much for a great product and great service.

Hey Sanford and Hank,


 
I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you how grateful I am for the marvelous steaks you sent here to Charlotte a few weeks back. To say they were outstanding is inadequate! Thanks so much for taking care of us with PERFECT steaks....

Mister Brisket,

I have to tell you my story because you are at the heart of it. I'm originally from Cincinnati. My husband and I met while getting our business degrees at the University of Cincinnati. We moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, the heart of brisket country, as newlyweds in 1981. My mom is a great cook, but we had never had brisket growing up in Cincy. I tasted brisket at someone's home in Tulsa and decided that I needed to learn how to make it. I tried twice, and both times it tasted like shoe leather. I gave up and decided it would forever be a southern secret that I wasn't going to know (nobody shares their recipe for brisket down here).

Then, one day when my first daughter was a baby (she's 24 now), you appeared on The Home Show and shared your classic brisket recipe. The cola ingredient intrigued me. I tried your recipe, and it was a hit. I have been making it for 24 years both sliced and pulled. My cooking has become known around the area, and I have served your brisket and told the story of a Cincinnati girl moving to Tulsa and learning how to do brisket from a Clevelander. I have served "my" brisket at sports banquets (they eat a lot!), church dinners (up to 500 people), catering events, family gatherings, for every one of my son's friends, and most recently to 450 at my daughter's wedding reception. Everyone asks for "Peggy's brisket." For a wedding gift I gave my daughter a recipe book of 500 pages of my recipes with family memories and stories attached to every recipe. This story is on the page with Mister Brisket! Thank you for the best brisket ever! Since the day I tried this many different brisket recipes have come my way. I try very few, but none have ever beat yours! Thanks for teaching a Cincinnati girl how to make brisket right! My children will definitely pass this one on for generations to come!

From a customer in Rhode Island who was making his own pastrami  10/19/08

Thank you very much for all your help.
I am pleased to say that the pastrami came out excellent !
I smoked for around 4 hours on the first day and steamed for about 4 hours on the next day.
I will contact you in the near future for items.

Best regards,
John

From Teri Moran, a Richfield Ohio customer, this past Christmas:

We ordered prepared brisket "barbeque style" for our Christmas Eve family Open House.  It was delicious and a huge hit with plenty to go around.  There were requests for doggie bags and I made sure to save some for leftovers. 
> > Yes, you absolutely stand for quality!
 

 

Just wanted to let you know that I received your most recent E-mail and always enjoy your stories. Also, although I am back in Florida, where we are going to get a bad cold spell where the temperatures will be in the low 60's during the day and upper 30's at nighttime, we will be back in Cleveland in May and expect to come over to get a sandwich and another meat order. I have tried your Kurobuta Pork Italian Sausage twice now, both in spaghetti sauce and on the grill, and can vouch for it's wonderful taste. It is truly the best Italian sausage I have ever had. Great stuff, as are the pork chops. I still have some of your Delmonico steaks down here that I transported from Cleveland on my last drive down to Florida.

     Just thought I would drop you a note and tell you how delicious your products are.
