Customer Stories

Tre Wilcox

Private Chef, former Chef de Cuisine at Abacus, Dallas, Texas

When I was the Chef de Cuisine at Abacus Restaurant it was a day-to-day challenge to seek out the best products to serve. After the second “five star” rating from The Dallas Morning News it became clear to me that I needed a meat company that would provide the service and the selection I need, and would care about the same day-to-day challenge as I do: to seek out the best product.

The staff at Winn Meat Company is not so big that you slip through the crack and your orders are lost or forgotten about. My sous chefs never had any problems with the service or products remaining consistent.

Now working as a private chef, I still look for the same quality and selection of meats for my clients. Winn Meat Company still takes care of my every need even though I am a one-man operation. I am truly grateful to have such a high-end meat company in Dallas.

Exec. Chef
Berry Creek Country Club
Georgetown, Texas

When I invite my members into my kitchen, I do so with confidence because I know I am doing everything right and can be proud of the kitchen I live in. Winn Meat Company has recently proven they feel the same way about their operation. I toured the entire facility recently and was blown away by the sense of teamwork and professionalism exhibited by the entire team at the plant. Chef Jamie prepared a wonderful meal for us from their professional test kitchen that really showcased their meat line and the level of pride they take in their products. It was a real treat to share that with Mr. Winn and Walter Wilkerson who took the time to dine with me and get to know me not only as a customer but as a fellow professional in the food service industry.

They have made a customer for life out of me and I challenge any of the chefs in the industry to give them the time to make a believer out of them. They walk the talk and really understand our needs.

If I have an event or a product I want to try, I’ll go to Winn. They deliver in a timely manner and the people doing the work are skilled. There are never any mistakes.

If there’s a new product I’ve read about or something not in the mainstream, they’ll try to find it or replicate it for me. It’s nice to have a resource like that – especially locally.

The products that Winn Meats provides us, immediately gives us the ability to provide the highest quality products on the market. Our Tuscan-inspired cuisine is highlighted by using Winn’s superior products and the simplicity of the grill, which highlights the flavors and showcases the quality of the meats. From the drivers’ sincere approach to our business, to the unparalleled commitment of the sales team, we are extremely happy with the relationship we have and are proud to tell other chefs about it.

Charlie Fogarty

Steamboat House
Houston, Texas

Steamboat House is a continuing “work in progress.” No one changes from a famous chicken fried steak restaurant to a fine dining “Texas Steakhouse” and gets it right on day one. A truly great restaurant is consistently changing and improving and that process should never end.

In a restaurant the food should also be a “work in progress.” Never be content with what you serve, how it is presented, or how it tastes. This is difficult because you also want to be consistent and at the same time consistently improving. Any change must be a positive change in the mind of you guest.

The most important part of every meal is the “Center of the Plate.” For Steamboat House it has been a very positive move to team up with Winn Meat Company and Sterling Silver brand of beef and pork. Winn has given us excellence service. Steamboat House and Winn Meat Company are a team where both “Winn.”

David Sokol

Exec. Chef
Brook Hollow Country Club
Dallas, Texas

Over the past seven years I have done business with Winn Meat Company and for the past three years I have used Winn Meat Company for the majority of my center-of-the-plate proteins with a lot of the meat being Sterling Silver products. The quality of the product is a main reason for doing business with them but another large factor is the excellent service their team provides Brook Hollow Golf Club. I have been the chef for Brook Hollow Golf Club for over 20 years, and the great quality products and proper specs which Winn Meat Company supplies me with sure make my job a lot easier. It is a great pleasure doing business with them.

I have done business with Winn Meat Company for the past three years. I will continue to work exclusively with Winn because of their superior products and the unmatched level of service they offer. Ordering from Winn isn’t just a business relationship, it’s a personal one. They give me their cell phone numbers in the event I need to place an order on a Friday night. Each time I order from Winn, I am confident that I will receive quality products exactly when I need them.

Charlie Palmer’s at the Joule
Dallas, Texas

Winn Meat Company provides stellar quality that meets all of our needs on every front. Their impeccable service is highly personalized to make sure we have the finest ingredients to make our menu the best it can be. Winn has infinitely dependable sources for fine proteins across the United States and around the globe, and competitive prices also. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a purveyor. Winn Meat Company matches our standards perfectly.

Exec. Chef & Director of Food
Lone Star Park
Grand Prairie, Texas

(serving an average 12,000 people a day during racing season.)

Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie has the largest white cloth restaurant in Texas, with 1200 seats in all. We also serve a buffet for 600 people every day. We cater to 1000 people in the picnic area and there are 50 private suites we take care of.

Winn Meat Company is where I go for all my specialty meat items. They bring in Bar-K Brisket, for example, and stock it for me. They really care about their customers. When you call Todd or Walter, you talk to them personally. They thrive on personal service for the customer. If I have a problem and can’t find the product I need, they’ll research it for me, find some options and then tell me what they’ve got and give me their best prices.

For example, everybody sells ground beef. I could go to 20 companies for 80/20 ground beef. But I couldn’t call them late on Friday night and get what I need on Saturday morning. You can depend on Winn Meat Company to be there when they say they’ll be there.

Carmen Summers

Director of Purchasing
Consolidated Restaurant Operations

We’ve been working with Winn Meat Company almost 20 years for selected products in our restaurants. They’re always easy to work with and very accommodating. They offer consistency of product and competitive pricing. This is a relationship that works extremely well.

Todd Dickerson

Angry Dog
Dallas, Texas

We have used Winn Meat company exclusively for 19 years. This is due mainly to the extremely high quality of product, but also because of the professional and courteous staff, sales, drivers, and management.

In speaking of the quality of beef, the local awards we have won should speak volumes. We have won “Best Burger” in Dallas 4 times, and finished runner up once. We are also constantly mentioned as one of the consistently best burgers in town. This would not be possible without Winn Meat Company.

We have been approached many times about switching suppliers, but nobody can match the quality of beef from Winn Meat Company.
