Description

I cut meat for thirty one years. I have stood on the other side of that counter and I have written the labels, and I am going to tell you what the label does not say. There is a case at Costco where four steaks sit at the same price per pound and they are not the same steak. Not close. One of them came off a part of the animal that does the work and one of them did not, and the only way to tell from six feet away is a thing you can see through the plastic if you know where to look. Nobody is hiding it from you. Nobody is going to point at it either. In this one I show you the three marks I check before I put anything in the cart, the day of the week that matters more than the grade, the one package on that shelf I will not buy at any price, and what to do with it when you get it home. Nobody paid me for this. There is nothing in the description to buy. I do not work for them and I am not selling you a knife. Tell me where you are shopping from and tell me what a ribeye costs at your store this week. I read every one of these.
