Bradfords

[NOTSMC]

Part of our Friday After Breakfast meandering. I've never been in there before, but their seafood department was a sight to behold. Fresh gulf shrimp, jumbo lump crabmeat, fresh scallops, yum. Is it as good as it looks?

 

[RoseRed]

Yes.

 

[NOTSMC]

Yes.

Great, thanks for letting me know! Headed over there for shrimp in a few minutes.

 

[RoseRed]

I might stop in later for crab legs.

I've had good luck with their beef as well.

Oh it looked gorgeous! I was thinking maybe for a special dinner one day I'll go back for the filet mignon. I was pretty impressed with the place.

I envy you guys who can make seafood at home without having to rush everyone else to the ER for anaphylactic shock from just smelling it.

Sounds like you need to take yourself out to dinner.

Usually every couple of weeks we go to Bradfords for meat and such. I usually get a couple Fillet steaks, one thick azz ribeye. I slice the ribeye in half at home. I have been buying shrimp there more frequently. Sometimes I get scallops. I usually spend $150 or more, it lasts 2 weeks for us. In my opinion, they have the best beef around. I prefer them over the crowds at Nick's. I can honestly say, I've never gotten a bad deal at Bradfords.

I heard Bradfords was sold.

I bet it becomes a McKays.

I bet it becomes a McKays.

My money is on Shoppers.

After closing twice down here? Aren't all the McKay's closed too?

they opened and closed all the other McKays stores, that's the only one they didn't.

I hope it isn't sold - but unfortunately, Bradford's kept the old McKay's style of basically - a liquor store that sells food. It has pretty much just two and a half aisles of food - a tiny produce area - a large area for cold drinks and a sit down - and the various counters. There's more refrigeration used for beer and liquor than there is for food.

They had good meat prices and they sold stuffed ham. Plus they sold locally grown produce. BUT - they really were a liquor store. And the parking lot can be a nightmare.

It was the FIRST one, though, right?

I bet it becomes a McKays.

I'd be willing to bet that in its current state, that the owners are related to the McKays to begin with. Think Woodburns of Solomons.

 

[NOTSMC]

My money is on Shoppers.

Based on their overwhelming success in this area, I would say that's a good bet!

I don't know what Kyle's being, but I'm being sarcastic.

I don't know the story behind that...
