Question

Answer 1

I had the same problem - although you are starting a little bit late - most real butcher shops will have it - maybe they will sell you a little bit.  I ordered Prague Powder #1 (also known as InstaCure #1) from Great American Spice Company.

Answer 2

The closest store is about 20 miles away from the 20032 Washington, D.C. zip code. Use my source and try another zip code to see if there's anything closer (choose "Meat Curing" from the Product Category, then choose "Tender Quick" from the Specific Product category).

Answer 3

Safeway...Giant...Shoppers...Bloom

Answer 4

if you can't find Tender Quick, perhaps you can find potassium Nitrate.  that is what gives the beef the reddish color and is probably what is in the tender quick.  just a thought.
