any restaurants in North America which claim their fame on the quality
of their non-mass-channels-procured pork, or chicken, or lamb, or
whatever??

I am excluding places which brag on their cooking of an an ordinary
piece of pork/chicken/lamb which you could have easily found in any
upscale supermarket. Eg, the rib joints

Yes, there are, and if "whatever" includes sustainable troll-caught
high-quality fish, of course there are. Why do you ask?

Hundreds. Why, are there none on your planet?

Why do you ask?



because i read of a a speech a while back by the President of the
National Cattleman's Beef Assocation, in which he stated that beef is
the most expensive meat because it has the best taste of any meat. He
followed that statement with, "did you ever hear anyone leaving a
restaurant saying, that was a great piece of chicken!"

it made me think - i've never seen a restaurant which claims to sole-
source chicken, or lamb.

i'd be quite interested to learn of any such specific places

All over on the left coast. But specialty chicken only exists on the left coast.

Wrong. See http://www.dartagnan.com/ as just one of the best known of several
east coast providers. Or start reading Jeffrey Steingarten's column in Vogue.

I didn't say it was. Please learn to read threaded postings. My response was to
another's claim that specialty chicken existed only on the left coast.

But who do you think d'Artagnan sells to? They do very little retail.

If you'd bothered to read the site a bit, you would have found
https://www.dartagnan.com/featuredchef.asp - it features a number of
chefs and restaurants who use these products.

Instead, you just want to believe some shill for the beef industry.

the OP asked; is there any restaurant which ADVERTISES that it
uses these provisions? I can show you 500 restaurants that happen
to use Morton Salt; it doesn't mean that they see Morton salt as a
draw, as part of their claim to fame.

beef is not the best tasting meat. Reindeer is the best
tasting meat. i've not seen it for sale outside of Alaska.


I'm still looking for a chicken place which advertises that it uses
premium birds. Premium poultry does exist, of course.

Jesoos Krist, only about 10% of the restaurants in the greater NYC area.

I wasn't kidding with my question about your planet. Do your own damn research
-- go to Zagat, and then to menus.

Steelhead Diner, Seattle. Advertises (on its menu) Washington-sourced
chicken, particularly Walla Walla chicken. Also mentions sausage from
a local sausage maker among other things.

Several Seattle-area restaurants feature sausage from Salumi, and note
it on their menus. Steelhead Diner features Armandino's bresaola.

I could go on, but I won't.
