It's hard to beat Costco when it comes to meat prices and quality. I haven't smoked much meat lately because I'm trying to eat semi-healthy. I used to smoke meat something like once or twice a week. Now it's like once a month or two. I miss it but I think it's best for my family's health. I don't want to die early from heart attack.Thanks! Yeah it came out real nice. I haven't typically done a lot briskets that but we recently re-joined Costco and it's hard to pass up their prices on the prime packers.
Also last time I reserved some of the trimmings to run through my meat grinder, and it was so good it gave me the confidence to be a little more aggressive in my trimming this time.
Lately, I'm hooked on Middle Eastern food from this local Jerusalem Bakery restaurant. I order and pick up food from there at least once a week now. It's outstanding and their food is so good and fresh. I'm hooked on their chicken shawarma platter. I haven't traveled to Middle East yet but it's what I imagine food in places like Turkey, Iran, Israel, etc taste like. Every time I go to the restaurant to pick up my food, all I see are Middle Eastern people eating and enjoying themselves. So that's a good sign. And I love the food. Jasmine rice, tabbouleh salad, hummus, baba ghanouge, tahina salad, and pita bread that comes with the chicken shawarma platter are all excellent. I clean and lick my plate every time. All their bread and dessert pastries are great too since they're also bakery and bake everything onsite. I'm so glad I discovered this place because of Covid restrictions.
