OK, I'm late to this discussion, but since it re-surfaced, if anyone lives in the East Valley Area of Phoenix, I cannot say enough good things to this place
http://theporkshopaz.com/Home_Page.htmlIt is a locally owned and run butcher shop that does
only pork, and does it better than I have ever found before.
Pepper Bacon to make you weep and sausages that are incredible plus the tenderest pork I have ever cooked
.
The Pork Shop is definitely worth going out of your way for. And while you are there, also on Combs Road, going west a couple of miles is the Queen Creek Olive Mill
queencreekolivemill.com. I have used the best imported EVOO I could find, but this place is better and has more variations (flavors) of EVOO than I have ever seen, including a Blood Orange EVOO that does great things with asparagus...
So, if you are up for the trip, you can satisfy your pork and EVOO needs in the same trip. The olive mill also does tours and has a little cafe to take care of the mucchies and cold beer or a glass of wine.
