A little history about us first.

Michael is a meat guy. He hunts and dresses his own deer. We buy meat and cut/grind/blend our own. We have tried beef from Mennonites, at least 4 butchers. We can't buy frozen burgers because they all taste freezer burnt (flash freezing?)

My mother always shopped at Benkners (50 years ago) and I still buy a few favourite things, now at Brady's.

So 2 weeks ago we came in and bought some wagu burgers (they were good) and 4 lbs of your own ground burger.

Today we made burgers, and OMG!

Angels sang, unicorns danced and tastebuds weeped with happiness. We finally found the best ground beef we've ever had.

(Just the smell alone, when first opening the bag, we knew they were going to be good) but wow..just..wow.

As long as it continues to be this amazing, we will be buying your ground beef in bulk.

And we will now try other cuts of beef from you as well.

Thank you!

Tanya and Michael

To Rob and staff:

Thank for your being there for us during the painful time since March 17.

Not only do you continue to provide the highest-quality meats and other foods as you have done for me since 2004 when I moved here from Toronto, but you do so in an atmosphere of calm and good humour which has been hard to find of late. You are greatly appreciated.

Hi Rob!! Just wanted to send a note to let you know how much you are appreciated in the community. I always think of Brady's when I need a special cut of meat. Plus, you are the only place that I know of who knows how to cut the meat so thinly for my fondue. And now folks are telling me that you are the only place who makes suet for Christmas puddings. Yay! Keep up the terrific work! Many thanks, Rob!
