TJ’s Quality Meats

With the decline of traditional butcher shops, and the rise of meat in supermarkets, butchers have had to compete hard. The strategy at TJs is to aim for quality. So the meat you get here is top notch, organic, extremely good. And yes, it is incredibly expensive.
The butchers are really friendly. One of them, Darryl, has known me since I was a baby. He remembers my name, and always asks about my family when I come in. Here’s to hoping that TJ’s won’t get squeezed out by big chains.

A quality butcher in Balmain. For quality mince to make spaghetti bolognese I always come here; or even for those mince patties. High quality meat, it must be organic, and the great news it is — better for you as well. Just way too fresh and why bother with the overpriced processed meat at the supermarkets. It is so worth paying extra here for better quality and more filling meat with personalised and pretty good service; well the latter has ben the case every time I have come to this establishment.
Also I am not much of a bacon person; in fact I really despise bacon or any pig related meat; yet when I was at a friends house for brunch one Sunday morning I decided to give the bacon a go as it smelt so fresh as it was being cooked. Tried it; divine and I had to ask this particular friend of mine where she brought the bacon from, and she told me it was from TJ’s here on Darling Street. It was like wow. The only butcher where I will literally «bring home the bacon» from while I was living in Sydney, and on those occasions when I come back to Sydney to visit and stay at the family home in nearby Rozelle.
