excel choice or select briskets

Choice is a better grade of meat. Dont know if excel briskets are any good though.

Chris

Go for the choice. I've never had a problem with Excel products.

I seriously doubt you would notice a difference between the two once cooked.

Joe thats interesting has that been your experience?
Costco has some great looking Flats I may try soon

Once again, I'm not crazy about flats. I think they are great for pastrami, but I happen to be a point junkie.
As far as the whole thing goes, brisket was considered the worst cut on the beef. The art was to take the worst cut and turn it into pure edibility and goodness. I can't see paying more for what might be considered the best worst cut of meat.

I also get many different brands delivered (Their chioce). Sometimes it exel other times it's national, this time it just happened to be black angus. I really don't see, nor can tell any difference in flavor or appearance.
