What a better way to enjoy the Holiday weekend than with friends and Good food! Although I had a hard time finding good brisket this weekend. Costco is usually my go to for Prime brisket but that's becoming harder to find. Sure I can get it at most mega marts, but the grade is only choice, and seriously the quality has always been suspect to me. The butcher at Costco informed me that they recently changed distributors for their meat. As a result, the larger cryovacs are harder to come by.
I suspect quality might have come down a bit as well. I bought 2 whole packers, one actually was well shaped and trimmed to begin....the others was a hunk of something that fell off a drunk beast, and was trimmed up by somebody just as drunk. It was almost as if the Point had already slid off of the Flat and they were side by side. ON the bright side...the marbling was wonderful throughout!
These are the 1st 2 packers I have ever bought that really almost look and feel like just a HOF. I hope this is just a one off...or just bad luck of the draw. I did the best I could trimming...You can see the demon child on the right in the pic. Here's hoping low and slow will make this a tasty hunk of whatever its supposed to be. :-)
I hope everybody has a safe and fun holiday weekend!
