I drove from Crystal lake to Rockford and bought a prime rib roast from countryside meat and deli for my Christmas Day dinner. Best decision I made. It was so delicious. Jarrod, cut the roast fresh for me. He also gave me seasoning and some cooking directions. Thank you countryside. You made our Christmas a memorable one.
