CAB Packers
I've always cooked Excel packer briskets which I think are Select grade. I've seen the CAB designation with other cuts of meat at our local Tom Thumbs recently, and I researched the board to find that CAB is supposed to be a high grade of Choice -- so I started to keep an eye out for CAB briskets. About two weeks ago while at Tom Thumb, they had 'em for $1.79/lb, but I didn't get any cuz I wasn't planning to Q for a while, and the guy told me they have 'em pretty regular.
I was at a different Tom Thumb today, and asked about CAB packer briskets. The guy said they didn't have any and didn't get them very regular (conflicting what the earlier guy told me). I asked him if I could order, and he said only trimmed CAB flats for high dollar -- packer briskets couldn't be ordered cuz he didn't have an order code (sound like b.s. to me). In summary, he said CAB packer briskets were just very hit-and-miss. I'll be going back to the first Tom Thumb to see if I can get what I want. Has anybody been able to specifically ask for CAB packer briskets? Tom Thumb here in DFW area seems to be a big CAB distributor, so I'm hoping I can get some CAB packers. I'm kicking myself for not buying some earlier. |

May have to order in advance to get the specific preparation you want. Hope this helps. TIM

There's a local place that sells high quality all natural beef... packers are $5.45/lb, though... I can get American Kobe (Wagyu) for $3.95/lb plus shipping... how much are y'all paying for CAB's (other than wholesale)? Would have a barbecue related LLC allow one to join the Restaurant Depot?

I joined as a "BBQ caterer". They do require a TIN which could be your SSN. (I own a non food related business so I have an actual business Tax ID number.)
