OCtOBER 14 - 20, 2018 Local market transforms mealtime from chore to choices galore R ichard McGinnis has devoted more than his entire adult life to providing the top-quality meats and customer service that he does today. He started at age 16, and has over 45 years of experience from which he offers sage advice to those seeking the finest ingredients, recipes, and cooking techniques. "It's customer service and quality that separate us from the competition," Richard says. He and a partner opened the original Country Time Meat Shoppe at 3042 N. Market Ave. in Fayetteville over 25 years ago. In 1997, McGinnis took over and made it his own family business, renaming it Richard's Country Meat Market. Richard's has an impressive following of loyal, satisfied customers. The shop's wildly enticing recipes use their premium cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal, or specialty meats like locally raised buffalo to keep you coming back for more. Their best sellers are the classic bacon-wrapped tenderloin filet and their seasoned burgers (including a Bison Burger) made from fresh, shop-ground beef. "We're the only place you can get Chairman's Reserve beef in Fayetteville," says Richard of his top-choice and prime-rated steaks from Tyson-owned IBP. They offer over 30 varieties of house- made sausages; several combinations of pre-skewered kabobs; ten different gourmet burgers made extra-delicious and convenient with special ingredients such as bacon, cheddar and jalapenos mixed into the patties; a tailgating bundle with baby back ribs; and all kinds of specialty condiments, marinades, house-made sides, and the freshest shop-baked burger buns and desserts around — making Richard's a one-stop-shop for the best tailgating ever. If you're looking for a fresh catch, you can expect the same trusted quality and variety from Richard's seafood selection. There are 8-12 varieties of fresh fish available in a given day, including: Yellowfin Tuna, Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Catfish, Tilapia, Wahoo, seasonal wild Salmon and more. They have numerous frozen fish options including Mahi Mahi; and maintain a huge variety of shellfish, shrimp platters, and dipping sauces.
