"Fresh Market stands out for its professional butcher shop and emphasis on USDA Prime beef, the highest grade available in the U.S. In our quick guide to beef cut grades, we've noted that prime beef is usually only found at fine dining restaurants and high-end steakhouses. Known for its abundant marbling, tenderness, and flavor, only about 2-3% of beef qualifies for this grade."
"Whether you're craving filet mignon, ribeye, or a New York strip steak, Fresh Market advertises that it ages all prime beef for at least 14 days. Dry aging beef and steak makes for exceptional tenderness and savoriness."
"Another defining feature for the grocery store's meat department is its in-store butchery. Rather than relying on prepackaged meat, its certified butchers cut steaks on-site, along with expert trimming."
