@meatdad: This shouldn’t surprise you if you follow me. Ground beef was $10/lb and whole brisket was $5.99/lb so I grabbed the brisket. When you trim it right you’re not just prepping it to cook, you’re pulling off 5–7 lbs of clean trim that’s perfect for grinding, so now instead of buying ground beef you’re making your own from brisket. You control the fat, no random blends, and fresh ground is just better texture and flavor. So for less money per pound you’re getting a full brisket and better burgers at the same time, that’s the whole point of using the whole cut. #brisket #burgers #bbq #grilling #butchery
