Ran some errands today and was trying to finds some decent looking butts for an event. Case was full, but found none that looked great so didn't get any.
I did however see the beef case with some nice looking plate and short ribs. Normal plates were $6/lb and the shorts were $4/lb. Problem with the $4lb 4 pack of shorts is that they all looked super thin which is common. Even went to the halal case that sometimes has a 2 pack that look thick, but nothing.
Then saw on the "shame rack" they had four 4-packs of plate ribs marked for $3lb :clap2:. 3 of the packs the vacuum was broke, including one where there was a slight hole. All past the oldest julian date so clearly rolling the dice :becky:.
I smelled the one that had a hole in it and I wouldn't have taken it for free :twitch:. Bought the 23lb pack that still had a tight vacuum rolling the dice and knowing I could bring it back.
Smelled fine when I opened it! :biggrin1:. So trimmed them all up and put 2 in the freezer and pic show what I have 2 marinading in for tomorrow. Going asian theme and will do some sort of ginger/garlic/onion rub on them when I smoke. Sauce will be hoisin based.
