Ultimately - everyone has certain things that they're willing to pay for to get "the best". I have friends with home audio equipment that costs more than my car, but I can't hear the difference. I have other friends that buy bottles of wine or bourbon that cost more than I spend to take my whole family out to a nice dinner. And I have friends with more money in BBQ equipment than I have in my kids' college savings. But that's OK - it's their choice, and they wanted the best. |
SRFShane, Since I am the one that started this post, sorry if the responses including mine seem a little harsh. I mean, yes, while this looks like a great cut, it is very high priced and not in my or many budgets. Hell, I have a dream of buying some really nice Wagu steaks for a birthday dinner treat one of these years, but I have yet to pull the trigger. One of these days.
And I completely understand different choices for different people and that this cut is very special. I just went through some sticker shock when I read it. Bad enough that choice briskets are closing in on $50, $250 for a meat for four is way out there.
It's all good. I am sure someone will buy some. Just won't be me.
