I have had terrible experience with chicken from Whole Foods. Unwrapped and the most god awful smell emerged. This has happened enough that I won't purchase from them. And because of the chicken issue, I don't buy meat or seafood there either.

I have purchased ground beef at our local farmers market and it was ok. I mean it was ground beef so I don't know if it could taste amazing but it made a good burger.

Who do you think offers the better value proposition for good tasting meat and seafood? Chicken thighs cost basically the same, crab meat is surprisingly cheaper at the market ($38/lb for lump), but beef is more expensive with steaks $25+/lb
