Default How to buy beef.

Great reading from "Mr Cutlets"

Anyone who has ever wondered why Peter Lugers is the king of steaks. It's Jodi.

I must confess I never heard of Mr Cutlets!? but he is a great read.

Excerpt from eGullet

I agree Chefboy, but it goes beyond that,as a consumer knowing that the owner/chef,what have you goes to the trouble to check his/her product everyday to insure the optimum level of quality is a dying breed.

How many of us can honestly say we go to market on a daily basis? I know I can't.All the best to those who still do.

Default A sense of love.

It must be so cool to work on the line there. Could you imagine being the broiler guy and seeing these perfect steaks day after day. Man! What a job!

Visions of Rocky flow through my head.

CC, at what point is the beef aged? Is it better to age the whole carcass, quarter, or primal?

Kuan,

Meats are aged both primal and sub primal.
