Roast Beef

POSTON WIDEHEAD · November 08, 2015, 11:27:24 AM

I always go to Publix early on Sunday mornings to stock up for the week.

If you ever get a chance, try their Bourbon Roast Beef. Its already cooked and ready to eat.
This stuff will met in your mouth and has the Bourbon flavor. Gosh its good!

Check with Mooseherder. He just retired from there after 100 years in the meat dept :D

Mooseherder · November 09, 2015, 02:21:38 PM

Yup, worked for them the last 30 years and retired last June.

It was a great run but it was time for my next chapter after having been in the business since I was 14.
We entered the North Carolina market about a year ago and it's been a hit.
There was a couple hundred stores when I started. Now there is over 1100.
I think Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas are on the Radar for future growth.

Poston, Did you mean the Boars Head Londonport Roast Beef from the Deli?

My first ex-wife's father was a Lakeland, Fl. native and worked in Alfred Jenkin's original store as a kid. After the big war, he returned and became assistant manager. When Jenkins opened a second store, he was offered the job of manager, but had decided to go back into the military for a career. The stores eventually became Publix. So began a lifetime of poor decisions. :-\

George Jenkins is my Hero. A real visionary. I have a couple of pictures with him at openings.
One of them, He is standing behind Me, My Wife and Kids while I was speaking. One of my favorite moments.
I also rescued a Portrait of him from a Store that was being bulldozed for a replacement Store.

Why Yes. Do you have any Beef? I think I want to have some Beef with my Bourbon. ;D

My brother is a meat cutter
Has been one for 38 years
A meat manager for 28 it's a good trade .
He works for Hannaford markets

Mooseherder · November 11, 2015, 06:37:23 PM

I also worked at Hannaford when I lived in Maine.
They had bought out Sampson's SuperMarkets up north while expanding.
Mr. Sampson had buried/encased a Corvette while building a new Store because his wife didn't want it.

edit:
I found out where the car went.

My first job at 15 ( not in the family business ) was cleaning the meat room and wrapping at the local P&C super market .
Loved that job worked it till I started my own carpentry business at 18

thecfarm · November 11, 2015, 08:21:32 PM

Mooseherder,that was my first job bagging groceries at Sampson's. That would of been 79'-'80.

I bought some today for lunch. Every bit as good as advertised, but the price will git ya. I think the sample slice she gave me would have been about a buck. :D I put 1/3 lb of it on some bakery rye bread with some horseradish cheddar.
