“Whether you’re super knowledgeable about what’s
in here or you know nothing, we want everyone to be
comfortable,” he said.
Philadelphia native Grieve and his wife, mortgage
loan officer Nancy Grieve, have spent time in Vermont,
where Scott taught at the New England Culinary Institute.
They moved to the Atlanta area, where Nancy grew up, in
1990. The couple raised their children in Gwinnett and
moved to Marietta four years ago. It was important to the
Grieves to open the store within Marietta city limits.
“We love the community here. We spend a lot of time
up on the Square, we know a lot of people,” Nancy Grieve
said.
Scott Grieve said his products are worth the price because
of their quality and consistency. The shop’s products
will come from the same trusted supplier, not change
from week to week. Grieve also stresses the importance of
properly aged beef. He has a policy that no meat is sold
without at least 21 days of aging, which tenderizes and
creates flavor.
“If you were to come here and want a ribeye, and my
ribeye doesn’t have enough age on it, I’m not going to sell
you a ribeye,” Grieve said. “I’m going to get you to buy
something else, because I don’t want you to have a bad
experience.”
