I have some meat from each of them in the freezer. Figured since it is Labor Day weekend, the wife and I should eat good! Here's the plan and some pictures of the meat. I am impressed with both of them, for sure.
Crowd Cow - Duroc pig spare ribs SLC trimmed. They came that way, although I still needed to do some trimming on the back of the ribs and remove the membrane. The fat is even high quality, soft and easy to remove. CC sourced these ribs from Dunthorp Farms in Oregon. I'm going to try out the pork rub from Meathead.
It does come packaged a bit odd. They actually fold the rack in half and then cryovac it. I assume this is to fit their shipping boxes better.

Here it is after trimming fat and pulling membrane. Going to cook it tomorrow. I will update once that's done

Creekstone Farms - Natural Prime Ribeye Cowboy steak. I have two of these, but decided with just the two of us to only cook one. It weighs about 20 oz. Going to grill some shrimp along with the ribeye. This is a crazy high quality prime steak. Tons of fat marbling, definitely on par with any steak I've ever had in a really top notch steakhouse.
In the cryovac

This steak looks amazing! Tons of marbling throughout, very much a really top end ribeye. Going to put a rub on it that I've been working on for beef. If it works out nicely, I'll post the rub as well.
