I went to BBQ Disneyland today--SoCal SF Valley Farkers especially step in

So very, very good news to the San Fernando Valley brethren. There is a new Costco Business Center that opened up in NoHo recently and I made the time to go and check it out. Finally one near us. I was in there for about 2 1/2 hours there was so much coolness.

You can shop there even if you don't have a business membership and buy as much or as little as you wish.

Too much goodness to post but here it goes:

Some serious restaurant equipment at very reasonable prices

This griddle was pretty sweet

Heavy duty mixers, fryers, broilers....you name it it's all there

Even a nice Weber cart?? :heh:

Let's get to the stuff that interests us

Charcoal 40lbs for $13 mesquite. It was a solid bag since I grabbed and shook it and no sound of dust floating in there. You could tell there were some big, solid pieces in there

Next was the fridge. You def need a jacket to go in there

Lawd almighty!!! :shocked: Isles and isles of cheeses of all kinds/sizes

Deli meats etc

And the meat :nod:

Briskets choice or prime

By the case if you want it

Bone in short ribs

Beef ribs

Tri Tip

Prime subprimal for $10/lb

The pork section :becky: All sort of cuts that you don't otherwise see

Skinless belly. Cheaper than the regular club

Skin on belly. Not available at the regular club

Lamb or goat carcasses

Whole pigs (about 33lbs for $90)

Duck

I mean the list goes on....

What did I come back with??? I have brisket in the freezer but I needed ribs and belly

STL spares :clap2:

Baby Backs

Belly

Way cheaper than the regular club. I found my new place to shop from now on. :thumb:



PS

You can also get a free drum if you buy the oil in it. :heh:

Sako,

You have performed a valuable service by posting this - thank you! :whoo:

Looks like I'm going to have to buy a couple more chest freezers to fit all the meat I'm going to buy there...:heh:

I'm obligated to spread the gospel Richard. :grin: Oh and they sell chest freezers there too. $139 for real a nice one as a matter of fact because I was considering it. :becky:

Thought it was cool that prime briskets were only ten cents a pound more than choice ones.

 

[Stlsportster]

You think one of those lamb carcasses will fit in the Hunsaker?

 

[sudsandswine]

Geez....that looks great. All I have like that near me is Restaurant Depot and it doesmt seem quite on that level.

 

[tom b]

One cart is simply not possible in these situations:

Moose I see no meat in that picture. Just wrong.

There's one up in Commerce. That's a lot closer took me than No Ho. Looks like I know where I'm going tomorrow.

Business centers carry meats not found at normal Costco. And prices for the same meats are usually little cheaper than normal Costco. But the best part is what you discovered. Business Costco will discount any expiring meats 40% off its regular price. If you go on the right date and time, you can score some incredible deals on marked down expiring meats. I've gotten inside rounds for less than $2 /lb, top sirloin for $3 /lb, chicken quarters for $0.30 /lb, and boneless short ribs for $3.50 /lb. I just look at it as discounted wet aged beef and buy all the marked down meats whenever I find it out on display. I've gotten pretty good at knowing the date and time my business center marks down the unsold meats and try to schedule my visits to match those dates.
