READERS' PICK: 1) Where's the beef? 2) What's your beef? 3) Who's the beef? 4) How's the beef? 1) Reay's Ranch Market butcher shop. 2) A wide range of select cuts and stand-bys, from prime rib to rump roast to ground chuck (ask the butcher about ordering specialties), featuring Coleman's naturally raised meat. 3) Undisclosed. 4) Every bit as good as the naturally raised chicken available whole, quartered, in uncooked fajitas, or blended with basil and stuffed into sausage casings. As good as the lamb--patties and chops (some butterflied and stuffed); as good as the pork--ribs, shoulders, chops; and the seafood, a changeable selection of fresh- and salt-water delicacies of the shelled, tentacled or finned varieties. Or maybe even as good as the turkey--ground, filleted, cured as chorizo, seasoned for breakfast and link sausage. All told, there are four full cases of lovingly chosen, carefully arranged meats that stand up to the most fastidious chef's standards for cut, cleanliness and color. The butcher shop also offers Garden burgers and black bean patties.
