96. Best Meat, Poultry

Most votes for the first time went to Safeway and their attentive butchers, who will cater to any customer’s cut demands. Always fresh. Longtime previous winner Nob Hill, and Save Mart, Lucky and Ocean supermarkets also have fans, according to the balloting, and can be trusted when buying meat for a special occasion. Others favor Olivera Egg Ranch down in Berryessa, for the freshest eggs around.
