looking for brisket

schmitty28 · 01-23-2013, 09:08 PM

any suggestions where I can find the point end of the brisket or a whole packer heard Wal-Mart carries them are they good quality or should I find a butcher

In CA it's hard to find one too. A butcher you will pay more. I use Costco, SAMs club, and restaurant depot.

schmitty28 · 01-23-2013, 09:41 PM

yeah I have looked at sams club but only find the flat here don't have a restaurant depot maybe at sams I need to ask the butcher there

Offthehook · 01-23-2013, 09:42 PM

Sounds like California. Even at Costco they trim too much off.

Offthehook · 01-23-2013, 09:44 PM

Correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen a full packer at anywhere besides restaurant depot.

SAMs Club carries them here.Always.Decent if you pick through them and get a floppy one.

Sams Club here carries them from time to time...sometimes just Flats though !!

schmitty28 · 01-23-2013, 10:06 PM

Sam's, Walmart and Costco are hit or miss depending on the store.

Restaurant depot is only 20 miles or so away...

Either that or ask a local butcher.

In my experience from looking and then lurking on here, people in the Midwest have the best luck finding packers. Indiana must be a little too far east or something.

Our SAMS only carries Packers. They are 2.58 per pound. Our Krogers also carry Packers and Flats. The packers are 2.49/pound. I have no idea on the flats. Both SAMS & Krogers will have choice packers.

It is regional. I will trade you straight up pound for pound brisket for tri-tip.
