Local grass fed beef - oh yeah.

At Joey's it's always fresh... and what a fresh idea... grass fed beef. Yum! Now first, let me tell you about their upcoming events.

October 6 (7pm) will be Joey’s 30^th Anniversary Italian Wine Dinner with a special guest who’s an Italian Wine Specialist. This event will require reservations.

On October 8Joey’s for sampling of local grass fed beef which has become a hot item for them. So if you are in the market for grass fed beef, but do not know where to purchase – go to Joey’s. As you already know, Joey’s has provided Lafayette with some of the best selection of prime and choice steaks, Cajun specialty meats and fresh seafood since 1981. Not sure if you realize it, but Joey’s receives fresh seafood daily. Oh and I love their prepared foods, imagine a potluck dinner with your friends and no time to cook. Go to Joey’s. I can taste the shrimp stuffed eggplant.

Then Joey’s will have their Holiday Food and Wine Extravaganza on October 27from 6 – 8pm. They’ll be sampling over 80 types of wine and spirits. I’m especially excited about this event because we are selling raffle tickets for 7 cases of wine ( I of each sampled that evening) with all benefits of the raffle going to Hospice of Acadiana.

Joey’s is located at 503 Bertrand Drive. For more information go to their website: www.joeyslafayette.com

Goofy me....I thought most cows ate grass! What are they doing out there in the fields, anyway???

Is this in any way a response to the huge success of Rouse's market right next door? Just asking.

Is Joey's an advertiser with the Indy? Just asking.

I'm probably not the only one wondering - where does the beefcome from? It'd be great to identify the ranch/farm where the beef was grazed.

Research and find out how the cows are being raised and locale. Some of the cows in this area are grassfed by neighbors throwing clippings over the fence, after having fertilized with pesticides. Just sayin!

I'm a long time fan of Joey's, and while Rousse's may be popular right now, the novelty will soon wear off.

Rousse's does not have as good of a meat selection as rumored.

Joey's is a specialty shop, and their served food is to die for!!! I love the prepared soups, lasagnas, etc. that you can bring home and freeze and then cook at your leisure.

My family is Italian, and Joey's is a bright light in a city that wouldn't know Italian if it hit it on the ignorant Rousse's loving face.

Grassed beef is from cattle that hasn't been fattened up in a feedlot from corn and other things such as steroids. Most of the cattle you see in pastures are momma cows. They eat grass...their calves drink their milk and once weened are shipped to mass feedlots. Grass fed is best but less economically efficient for beef producers.
