Kosher

Kosher food in Houston is hot!  Long serviced by a single meat market, the local community has witnessed a new phenomenon -- local supermarkets featuring fresh Kosher meat.  Competition for the Kosher consumer has been fierce.  In short order, Belden's supermarket, Kroger's Signature Store, and Randalls supermarket all have their own Kosher Shoppes.  The winners are local consumers, who watched with bated breath as prices for Kosher food have dropped precipitously.  The supermarkets feature fresh deli, a wide variety of meats (beef, veal, lamb, poultry), a huge selection of kosher cheese, fresh baked breads and bakery items, salads and hot rotisserie grilled chickens which can be taken home or enjoyed at eat-in areas of the store.  Kroger's also features whole Kosher fish, and has a special Kosher cutting board with kosher knives so you can have your fish filleted right there on the premises.  In addition, several of the H-E-B supermarkets offer whole frozen Rubashkin / Aaron's chicken and selected varieties of meat in sealed packages at very competitive prices!
