Looks incredible. I agree with you on wagyu briskets. Hands down best I've done/had was an SRF Gold.
To be honest, the wagyu probably gave me a nice wide margin for error.
I work for Costco, not in the meat department, but I do maintain a very close relationship with the manager back there so I can get cuts I want and have them help me pull the briskets and such I want when I cook food to sell. The Dallas area market was one of the test beds for Wagyu beef.....apparently did pretty well....so well in fact that other retailers in thebarea started to complain that we were selling it for way too low and they couldn't compete
Anyways, the long and short of it is, Costco will be phasing out the choice grade meat leaving only the prime grade meat for sale. We will also begin selling Wagyu beef sometime after that.
All of this is according to picking the brain of the meat manager as well as the regional head man when he comes to the store for visits
