I had been looking for a pork shoulder with the skin and fat intact but did not have any luck finding anything around (even at the Strip District!). I called Tom's and although they did not have a shoulder with the skin intact, the gentleman I talked to was very helpful. So, I went down to take a look at what they had and it was the next best thing. The shoulder they had was marbled nicely and had a lot of top fat on it. Funny thing is that, I live five minutes from this place and I never thought of going. I'll definitely be heading back there for future meat needs. Oh, and I also purchased some of there freshly made sausage, which I am excited about. The only reason I didn't give Tom's 5 stars was because the pork shoulder didn't have the skin and 1 inch fat on it, which is required for the authentic dish I am making on Christmas. However, 4/5 ain't bad and the guys there definitely won me over.
