Note for those that like skirt, Creekstone is selling the less desirable (IMO) outside skirt steak versus the inner skirt steak that is typically used for carne asada and tacos. Michael_in_TX knows!
I honestly heard that it was the other way around too. I've only been able to find inside skirt at Costco and have been looking for what I thought was the more desirable outside. I guess I have to do some reading!
I recently read a short article from Pat La Frieda (NY Butcher) who's preference is only outside skirt steak. He does not sell or cook at home inside skirt steak. He mentions at supermarkets you'll find skirt steak and it's not labeled inside or outside, it's definitely inside skirt steak your buying. Restaurants are usually only buying outside skirt steak so it's hard to find for us back yard grillers
Outside skirt (from what I have read) is more desirable than inside skirt. I have had both and definitely prefer outside skirt steak. Most supermarkets only carry inside skirt steak and the restaurants are the one's that order outside skirt steak.

Getting my order tomorrow.
2 packs of ribs, 2 packs of outside skirt steaks and 1 pack of the flank steaks.
Paid for the overnight shipping cause I didn’t want any problems with the weather being warm this time of year.
Our dry aged, hand-cut Skirt Steak is unlike any you’ve ever tasted. This cut has a naturally buttery flavor with a beefy bite. Sear it over high heat for an amazing meal in minutes. We dry age our Angus beef whole to give each and every cut a rich, steakhouse flavor and tender texture. All of our beef are pasture-raised with no antibiotics and no added hormones.
Pasture-raised beef, pork, and chicken delivered straight to your door. Free of antibiotics, hormones, and GMOs. All of our beef is dry aged for maximum flavor! Shop better meat per piece or per month with Butcher's Choice Subscription Boxes at Porter Road.
I thought about it, but I dunno if it would arrive before I leave for vacation, so I'd better pass. Maybe there'll be some decent sales later in July. <sigh>
I dint wanna risk it getting delivered after 2PM Friday. We fly at 5. - Although I could drive there and pick it up, if they'd let me, they're only a couple hours away.

What we've found is that Duroc meat is darker and to me has a little deeper "Pork" flavor but tends to be a little leaner.
Several of the kids around here raise Duroc hogs for 4H so we try and get one every fall.
realdocBBQ I don't notice much difference in flavor but I season my ribs kinda heavy anyway. They do seem to be a touch thinner which to me is good because they cook a bit quicker and more even IMO, FWIW. Whether they're worth it or not is questionable, but I enjoy the sales.
