Hudson Meats: Surry Hills

To eat well you have to start with the best produce, and the best produce comes from Hudson.  Sure it isn’t cheap, but if you focus on quality, not quantity, then it’s surely value for money.  Stocking not only top-notch meats, you can get the best dried pasta, cheeses, assorted vegetables, sugo, olive oils and Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream (reason enough alone to visit).    Adding to the experience is the quality of service: the boys (and they are predominantly boys) will do all those butcher-like things that you can’t get in a supermarket, like preparing the meat they way you need for each dish or even supplying the odd herb to go with the roast.  The music is always good too, and there’s a hook outside to tie up your dog.
