This brings up a question I've had since moving here a couple of years ago. With all the cattle raised in and around the Villages, why are there no actual butcher shops to be found? Closest thing to a butcher shop is Fresh Market but nothing else.
I buy USDA Prime filet mignons at Publix. I shop at the Colony Plaza store often, and when they have them (usually 2-3 times per week), I buy them and freeze them. I never run out.

I have checked all of the high end restaurant menus in the area, and none of them sell a USDA Prime filet mignon, except Ruth Chris. This includes Chophouse, Mark's, and Prime 3.
