Rite Choice offers award-winning beef

At a recent ceremony at Carnegie Hall, Red Oak Farms Certified Hereford Beef was declared the “Best-Tasting Supermarket Beef in America," by the American Tasting Institute. Rite Choice Foods, a local foodstore, currently is the only foodstore in the area that offers the award-winning beef, and controls the exclusive rights to offer its customers the Certified Hereford label in Nappanee. Rite Choice Foods is a part of the Miller's Markets chain, based in LaGrange. The Miller’s chain also offers the award-winning beef to its customers in 10 of its other locations, including the Miller’s Super Valu in Plymouth. Red Oak Farms Hereford, of Red Oak, lowa, also took top honors for the second straight year, for “Best-Tasting Restaurant Beef in America,” and is served in such prestigious restaurants as The New York Hilton, The Hilton of Santa Fe, The Fort in Denver and The Riviera in Las Vegas. The beef was chosen to be the best because of its flavor, tenderness, juiciness and leanness. Howard Ruff, a stock analyst and publisher, described the beef as “the best I have ever eaten, it’s the finest in the world.” Miller’s Markets began carrying the beef exclusively in August. “The customer response has been incredible,” reported store owner Garry Miller, “we’ve been overwhelmed with customers telling us how good it is and how their roast or steak was the best they’ve ever had.” Miller’s offers the beef at the same prices that regular supermarket beef is sold for in other foodstores, although it costs them more. “The beef is a part of a quality commitment we’ve made to offer the best meats at the lowest possible prices,” said Miller. “We want it to be affordable so that all of our customers can enjoy it.” According to Red Oak Farms representative Bret Hultman, the beef is superior for many reasons. “Hereford has been the breed and choice of royalty around the world for centuries,” stated Bret. “We select only the best cattle, feed the to strict specifications, follow an impressive quality control program, and back it up with a 100%
