So what was the price on those SFR briskets after the discount?

The two I got were 23.3 and 22.4 pounds. The total was $292.50. So $6.40/lb before tax. Free shipping. All things considering, very reasonably priced. I cannot remember what I paid for the Gold. It was probably around $300 for an 18 pounder. That one is very unreasonably priced.

How would you describe the wagyu briskets? I've never tried one.

Heavenly. Tender, moist, delicious.

Would a John Haddow reference be appropriate?

I just looked at my invoice. I was off a little. It was actually about $7.11 per pound. Still, not terrible and worth it for a special day for friends. After a few hours on the smoker, they are already looking great. I very seldom eat much of what I cook for events. At least until the event is over and we're having leftovers for a family meal. I'm usually too nervous. These are looking tempting.

This is it. Wagyu is just that much more marbled throughout so you get a better juice to meat ratio. I've cooked a lot of briskets in my day, and really, there is a very subtle difference between good choice and Costco/Sam's prime. Most people eating it cannot really tell. I still go with prime because the quality will be more consistent than choice so it's worth the extra cost for paying jobs. Wagyu just takes it to the next level. Again, it's a little more subtle for the average person, but the odds of it turning out great increase with the better marbling.

The other thing is does have a slightly different taste than prime or choice. More meaty flavor that doesn't require quite as much salt in the rub. I cut back about 20% on my salt when rubbing a wagyu vs a prime or choice.

This is a good thread for Wordle today.

Thanks. I'll have to try one of these sometime.

Exactly. Even the flat is amazing.
