Taylor's Market in Sacramento
I have mentioned Taylor's Market in Sacramento several times. Along with Corti Brothers (the foodie Mecca, also in Sacramento) and Shopper's Corner in Santa Cruz (not to mention Berkeley Bowl and Monterrey Market in Berkeley, Farmer Joe's, Ver Brugge Meats, the Pasta Shop in Market Hall in Oakland, and Galvan's in San Leandro), Taylor's is definitely on my preferred vendor list.
Looking to find details of their meat special (and Taylor's does meat very well. In fact they were offering Bird and Schell meats years and years ago, back when a few people were starting to notice that standard supermarket meat was tasting blander and blander. Bird and Schell became Niman Schell, which is now Niman Ranch), I found that they have a good website and that they do mail order.
Their meat might be pricey, but it is worth every bit. Yum. Yum. Yum. and more Yum.
Also, try their honey truffle mustard. It turns a B sandwich into an A sandwich.
You will find them here. Buon appetito!
Erik,
Thank you for your wonderful comments regarding our store, Taylor's Market. I must however correct you on the namesake of Bird & Schell meats. When Taylor's Market was founded it was actually 2 stores in one. Taylor's Market and Bird & Schell meats. Roy Taylor owned the grocery side of the store, and leased out the butcher shop to Bird & Schell Meats. Bird & Schell was founded by Hal Bird and Ed Schell. Hence the name Bird & Schell. Bird & Schell meats has no association to the Niman Ranch name. In the late 80's Ed Schell along with his son Kevin and Daniel Johnson purchased the grocery side of the store from Roy Taylor. Taylor's Market and Bird & Schell meats are now one company. The only connection we have too or have had with Niman Ranch is that we purchase alot of Niman meat products.
Once Again thank you for the comments.
