Restaurant Depot IS accepting KCBS members.

[BBQchef33]

I received this earlier today from Restaurant depot Marketing. Seems RD IS still in with KCBS.

A story about Restaurant Depot and KCBS came up on a message board today.

Im not sure where this information came from but it is completely false. Restaurant Depot proudly accepts all members of the KCBS in our stores. We have just sent out a memo to ALL of our nationwide stores telling them to accept membership cards for the KCBS. I wanted to let someone at the BBQ Brethren know because I know you also have members in the KCBS. Is there a way to relay this to your members? Thanks for your time! - Anna Lada, Marketing Coordinator, Restaurant Depot

Yup - just checked out the KCBS site and it's back on! :thumb:

Hmm, we need to get them to accept members of this forum. That would be a good thing for many of us.

Wait so you are telling me I can join KCBS for $35/year and I can go to Restaurant Depot without having a wholesale license?

Does anyone know what the price of Brisket is per pound there? Just trying to figure out if it is cheaper then Costco or Sams club for brisket and pulled pork.

I don't know if it is cheaper or not, but, the selection is much greater there.

It varies and depends on if you buy by the case. This year, I think I was paying around $2.40/lb for brisket and I just got a flyer that pork butts were $1.29/lb by the case. The selection is better than other wholesale clubs.

my wife just called the alexadria location and they said it's a no. hopefully it was just because the employee she talked to just didnt know better

I use both RD and Costco ~ it just depends on what I'm in the mood for. When in comes to hunks of beef, definitely RD gets my business. BTW, I think RD and Cash n Carry are owned by the same company.

Never been to Cash n Carry...they have a decent selection of meats? Butts / Packers?

Just looked and there is one in my area!!
I think I see a new membership in my future!

 

[funman1]

Can you bring a friend or helper (wife)?
or is this so exclusive it's one person only let into the store per membership?
