Meaty tidbits - 2 Roch. eateries cooking

With all of the chaos related to Rochesterfest and then being out of the office last week, I missed out on the opening of a couple of the eateries that are heating things up for the local carnivore crowd.

One, predictably, is Meatheads Meats and Deli in the former Taco John’s/Great Steak Escape building on the U.S. 52 frontage road just off of 41st Street Northwest.

The deli/ butcher shop spin off of a Red Wing business is open and serving.

The other one is the new Roscoe's Express in the Chateau Center, just south of Chateau Theaters at North Broadway and 37th Street in northeast Rochester. This is the space that has been empty since the TCBY yogurt place closed its doors in 2007.

I'm kind of surprised the gregarious owner of Roscoe's, Steve Ross, didn't give me a call when this spot started serving food. He must have been working on a new celebrity sandwich.

There is a sign at the old Roscoes on 18th Avenue NW that John Hardy's is going in there. I think Roscoes lost on this deal!
