From Warsaw to Saigon


Nobody out there seems to care about the now-gone Quality Meat Market in Williamsburg, judging by the anemic response to my postings about the old Polish butcher. Thought this place was a classic!

Well, that's not going to stop my continued reportage on the steep decline in fine meat products in north Brooklyn. A Lost City reader tells me the space is to become a Vietnamese restaurant called (yawn) Saigon Grill. Yeah. City needs another Vietnamese restaurant, right?

  2. it too heard about this. as a young-ish butcher it's sad to think that this is a craft that is slowly disappearing. i believe the financial times ran a story about the shrinking population of butchers around the world because of mass produced and processed food. hmmmmm, maybe it's time for me to find a backer and open up a place? thanks for reporting on this
