    It finally feels like pot roast weather, so I will be trying the recipe from the West Town Tavern website for the first time. She recommends finding a good butcher who can cut the meat. The recipe calls for 9 ounce square cut boneless short rib pieces.

    I was going to go to Paulina Market to see if they can do this. If anyone has any other recommendations, that would be great. I would like to stay in the city.

    Thanks.

    I made this dish with boneless short rib purchased at Costco, cheap red wine vengar, and a slow cooker instead of the stove. It turned out great. The worst part was reducing the vinegar for the sauce. I had to open all the windows to avoid choking on the fumes.

    Paulina has square cut (aka English style), so does Whole Foods. Ethnic grocers I've noticed more typically have the flanken style.

    Here's where I learned the difference.

    This recipe is no longer available on their website but it sounds delicious. Could you provide?
