Standing Order Notes

Ground beef filet for the Wednesday Bolognese is a special butcher order (tenderloin trim) — call the Friday prior, or grind filet tails in house. Swordfish center-cut, 1” thick. All fruit fresh and seasonal — never melon, never raspberry. All soups scratch — nothing canned. Inspect fruits and bakery on arrival per the every-other-day standing check. Stew Leonard’s delivery service (Norwalk) is an approved vendor — strongest fit for Proteins (1), Dairy & Eggs (2), and Bakery (4); order the evening prior for next-day delivery. Preferred vendors: baguettes — Costco · all seafood and fish — Superior Seafood, Westport.
