MEATmarket: a 10 step guide

Step 1: Look up

When entering Jubilee Market look up, that's where you'll find MEATmarket.

Step 2: Read the menu

The writing is on the wall here, literally. 

Step 3: Identify the counter

Here's the big difference to MEATliquor, it's not table service, it's not really a restaurant, it is a fast food outlet with a counter.

Step 4: Place your order

Approach the counter and err... place your order (nicely).

Step 5: Take a seat

Step 6: Giggle at the signs while you wait

Step 7: pick up your food

When your name is called, go collect your food.

Step 8: enjoy your food

Dead Hippie burger

Hotdog

Poppaz (Jalapenos & Cheese Ranch dressing))

Corn Puppies (Honey & Mustard dip)

The food will be familiar to many, served on familiar trays in the familiar red and white wrapping. There's the famous Dead Hippie burger, so well described on the web already I wont, as well as the 'Double Bubble' and 'Black Palace' burgers. We're guessing the burger choice will evolve in time, the place has only been open around two weeks, but the classic cheeseburger is unavailable while the only difference between the Double Bubble and Black Palace is that one has minced white onions while the other has grilled white onions, so not large. The burger is of course it's usual messy and delicious self. Philly Cheesesteak is also an option.

There's fries, poppaz and corn puppies available as sides, an ice-cream sweet and bottomless soda. There's also milk shakes including the Beige which has a shot of Woodford Reserve in and is pretty damn good.  

Step 9: dispose of your rubbish in the bin

Step 10 (optional): use the facilities as you exit

This is a different format for the MEATliquor's food, an 'obvious' format for the type of food it is (everything can be purchased to take out also) and is a welcome addition to the market (no pun intended). It's also quite clever because it doesn't really compete with MEATliquor: there's a more limited menu (possibly too why the cheeseburger isn't there), there's no liquor of course, and the venue is amusing but certainly not cool. It means that MEATmarket is an ideal place to drop by and grab a burger if you are in the area but in itself, it is not really a destination. It therefore also means that despite this opening, MEATliquor will still have them queuing out the door on a Friday and Saturday night (and every other night probably).  

For those who love MEATliquor (and we include ourselves in that group), MEATmarket's opening will be welcomed as it makes their food significantly more accessible, and that has to be a good thing.
