Am I Wrong to be Crying Right Now?

[Count Porcula]

Restaurant Depot finally opened a local store, and today I found out they will let anyone with an EIN sign up. I visited a while ago with a day pass, but now that I have a card, I feel, well, superior to everyone else. Better.

The nearest GFS is over an hour away.

Things I would go back for: $17 gallon cans of pomace oil, Stanislaus tomato products, Supremo Italiano block mozzarella for pizza, big bags of different kinds of flour, huge bags of shelled pistachios for $8, good prices on primals, Canadian bacon, commercial cooking utensils, that gross coconut water my wife drinks, and BEEF TALLOW!

They sold me 50 pounds of beef tallow for $68. I have paid that much for peanut oil, which is vastly inferior. I'm the happiest man alive. I thought I was happy when Costco sold me a totally acceptable XO Cognac for $48, but I'm over the moon now. The deep fryer is about to get a refill, and I'll have 10 pounds of fat left over for the kitchen.

Tell me life isn't sweet.

Are you crying for happiness or regret?
Those stores can get expensive on the wallet.
I have to control my urges at a Costco Business Center.

I’ve gone in for flour and sugar and somehow an extra 3-4 hundred dollars worth of stuff falls onto the cart.
Haven’t been in years but my favorite was the smoked/cured pork chops. I have a stainless butcher saw I used to portion it out. See if they still sell that, you won’t be disappointed.

I am going to head there just for the pistachios if they are $8

I was on my best friend's account. He passed away last year, and not only do I miss him, I miss being his unpaid intern who had access to Restaurant Depot. Great place to find meat on discount.

I sure wish RD would open up in central Arkansas. The nearest one is in Memphis and I don't like the trip just to buy food.
