Lord Jeff's is nestled deep in the bowels of what could easily be misconceived as one of the filthiest places in the entire city, New Market Square. Never heard of New Market Square? There's a pretty sign for New Market right at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, which is rightfully considered a really fucking scary spot (junkies, hookers, the homeless, guys that clean your windshield with newspaper and spit, etc). Anyway, go past this crap and take a left after Victoria's Diner and go down into the warehouse district and you are in the meat packing and produce distribution heart of Boston.
Look for the crappy parking lot and you will see a little sign that reads
'Retail Hours, Lord Jeff's'. Park your car, ignore the filth, watch your step and walk inside. Pretty unimpressive, seriously it looks like a crappy store at first. But walk to the back, walk up the deli counter. Ignore the cheap prices for domestic ham and American cheese and look at the signs on the wall, goat by the pound, brisket, vast arrays of every make, model and year of sausage and chicken parts as far as the eye can see.
And they are helpful. Looking for a lamb shoulder? Ask. Looking for chicken hearts? Ask. Don't be afraid. These guys know meat and want to sell it to you.
This is where real people who refuse to buy the crappy meats at Stop and Shop come to stock up.
