My first brisket was excellent because it came from a $1 million steer! (Well, maybe)

As it turns out, the $1 million steer -- named Vanilla Ice -- sold at the Texas Livestock Show and Rodeo in March probably ended up in our local HEBs!



I mean.....if not me, then who?

(This actually is a fascinating article -- written by Emma Balter, an excellent Houston food writer -- about what happens to cows sold at auctions. It is well worth a read.)

(Also, if you are child of the '90s and by reading this you have "Ice, Ice Baby" or even worse "Go ninja go ninja go" in your head, I profusely apologize.)

Sorry dude, I got the million dollar brisket. But since you're a friend I'll let you have it for the low price of $1233.99

Oh, and:

Wow...In Living Color.....been a long time....

Better that the original!

[Jerod Broussard]

More surprising is that the steer was still made mostly of meat.

Vanilla ice was from East Texas

Can't tell if you are using that as a good thing or not.

Dallas isn’t really East Texas unless your in Lubbock.
