SYCAMORE – As DeKalb County residents prepare for warm-weather barbecue grilling, Dan Brown hopes they will visit the new meat counter at Browns’ County Market.

“We have 30 feet of super-fresh, top-quality meats,” Brown said.

In February, Brown drove to New York state to pick up three 10-foot-long glass meat cases to display fresh-cut meats in the family-owned Sycamore supermarket. The market has always had an on-site meat cutter, but Brown said that the recent trend in supermarkets has been to “keep meat cutters out of sight.”
