Review from Devyn G.
Toronto, ON

If you're like me, you love to support local businesses over homogenous, corporate giants when you're travelling. So, when the grrlfriend and me were planning a delicious barbecue dinner while away at our rented cottage retreat, sure, we could have shopped at the No Frills in Bancroft, Ontario... but why? Just a little further south on Highway 62 stands the bull's horn-bedecked, firewood-selling, off-the-road meat-eater's Mecca of the Red Steer. Good God.
Owner Wayne doesn't sell online, and happily boasts that he barely knows how to turn a computer on, so you'll have to trust me when I tell you that his choices for prime rib burgers, London broil, wild Digby sea scallops are outstanding. He and his partners fashion sausage to die for, available in honey-garlic farmstyle, garlic and chive, maple, apple, sundried tomato, leek and black pepper, and the various Italian standards.
Steaks are cut to order, chickens are local and grain fed, and he doesn't mind at all when you ask him for wooden skewers to barbecue your vegetables on because you didn't plan ahead well enough to bring your own for your vacation's meal plan. Cool dude.
Yeah, yeah, it's about 250 kilometres northeast of Toronto... but, hey, you really think you'll find something better at Loblaw's on St. Clair? Trust me.
