Quintessential Chatty Farker
I found a food service company that caters to restaurants and independent groceries, you know those smaller semi's with all the fancy food graphics that do the deliveries. In our little part of north Florida we have two pretty good sized operations so I'm pretty confident there are regional counterparts pretty much everywhere. Anyhow, I found one that has a will call desk that will sell to the public and they have everything from meats to paper products & condiments. The only catch: you need to purchase in their case lots. For choice brisket that's 5 15 pounders per case for about $2.50 per pound. Pork spare ribs, 9 racks 36 pounds per case for $2.00 per pound. I've found the quality excellent.
