Title: Manhattan Meat Market
Post by: TimJimothy on May 15, 2017, 02:10:40 PM
Heard about this quite awhile ago, but just saw their first tweet this morning; a new meat market is moving into the old Willie's Bar & Grill. Supposed to be a meat market that "supports Kansas farm families and builds community."

Anybody know the folks opening this? Really hoping they do it well.

There's also a "Meatless Manhattan" but it's just some vegetarian handle

Funny story for me at least. I meet my sister and her now husband there for a ksu away game. They had been there a while, food, drinks, etc. We watch the game and after I say I'll get the tab. They insist on getting it, but I end up getting it. 150 dollars. I had to pretend I wasn't shocked. What a day.

Bear in mind I'm not a ksu grad and this was 7 years ago.

On the topic of Willie's, it was absolutely awful the last couple times I ate there. Once upon a time it was good, but it was on par with Bobby T's (also closed, thankfully) as far as shittiness before it closed.

Suffolk and Cross don't have white faces. Only Dorsets of those three. So I'm confused.

Just went. Pretty decent selection, although a bunch of stuff was frozen only. The owner said that he was going to start carrying fresh lamb because of demand. They had sold out of several items and the place had probably 20 people there when I was there so that was a good sign. As I was leaving, none other than HCIWAAPAHCSS strolled in with his lovely wife. Didn't see his order, but I bet it was a half dozen ribeyes if I know that ol boy.

I came at the end of their first week. I'm hoping more will be fresh since most is sourced locally, but I would imagine they are getting a handle on inventory.

I seriously doubt much of the lamb was consumed for Eid. Their lamb isn't halal and international students aren't going to know about that place.

Maybe.  I know many of them will settle for the best available. 
But it doesn't really matter.  If the store is smart, they'll market to that population.
