HEB is a Texas grocery chain and just found this today. You just have to ask and they will now bring in AGED BEEF.

    Hey @Mickey -just a heads up,  they trim it back to red, taking all the good rind off.  Per the guy at the meat counter I talked to (at the one in Lakeway) they have to for "sanitary reasons"

    Pretty sure they age all that at my store (Lakeway) I knew they had to be farming some of that stuff out. The case is huge. Way too big for one store.

    Very cool. Man, I would love to have a nice grocery like that. The MS Gulf Coast has terrible groceries. And now Walmart Neighborhood Market is taking over down here. I drive to New Orleans to get groceries.

    I buy their prime 1 steaks all the time and they are great. They cut them the way I want them too.

    we moved to WI for 6 years and we missed it every day. We actually opened a small market just to get good food. It was a horrible idea :)

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    We need to say hi one day,  I am in 4 points.  The lakeway store is okay but I was expecting a really nice store in your parts and I was underwhelmed.

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker went shooting in Cedar Park this morning with VI. On the way home I stopped in the big HEB at IKEA on I-35. They said the only one stocking to their knowledge was your Lakeway store.

    Central Market already has dry aged beef but as far as I know they don't specify how long it was aged.  I wonder if they'll do this at the Central Market's as well.  I wish we had regular HEB's in Dallas.  They own a lot of land around Dallas they just haven't built any stores yet.
