    Two questions (not really experienced but really want to try):

    1)Where are some good places in Houston where you can order rack of lamb?

    2)What stores should I look in for racks so I can try it out at home?

    Thanks

    I love lamb, unfortunately when I want it in a restaurant I must travel to Memphis. Texas de Brazil has it and it is good.

    Sam's Club in my hometown usually carries lamb so there is one option to try.

    The lamb at Sam's is really quite good. And yes, they have racks (frenched).

    Go to Phonecia. Fresh and at a much better price than grocery stores.

    I occasionally get it at Outback, the sauce is real good.

    I only eat lamb if it has been thrown in a river first.

    I like to select my lamb personally on how pathetic its painful bleets are. Makes me feel more connected to my meal.

    My buddy has a Bichon Frise and some English In-laws. The other night they went to dinner at their house and they were going to serve lamb. He told them he was sorry but he didn't eat lamb. The asked " why not?"

    He said, "I can't eat anything that looks like my little dog."

    Costco has a frenched (bone is clean) rack of lamb for about 10 bucks a pound. Compare that with Whole Food's charging almost twice that much.

    Just sear them with salt/pepper on a smoky hot pan, finish in a hot oven to a temperature of your liking.

    damn i knew it would be more expensive at whole foods but didn't know twice as much... :eek:

    costco is a little far and it'll be hard for me to get someone with a membership. do they check faces on your id's there or just ask for one?

    i wanted to stay away from sams just because i don't really feel comfortable getting fresh raw meat there but i might have to :(

    Greek places usually make a darn good lamb, but they are usually chops, not a full rack.

    I got some from FreshDirect (which I guess you probably don't have down there) and made a delightful mustard and herb crusted rack a few months back.

    It was delectable.

    In all seriousnous, make sure you get a good piece of meat, it's hard to f- it up. Go to Whole Foods or Rice epicurean or whatever you guys have down there.
