Where to buy a good brisket?

[Jose]

OK smokers, where do you buy your briskets at? Haven't smoked one in a while and I want to get back into it again. I've always bought my briskets from Walmart but want to try something different (better) this time. Any suggestions where to get a good cut from?

IMO it's really not gonna make any difference, just don't buy packer trimmed, buy an even piece of meat with an even fat later.

Rancher's Reserve from TT isn't too bad, and was just on sale for $1.49/lb. But for the best quality I've found, David's Meats in Garland. One of the last true butchers around.

Well I'd get you some cheaper than anywhere you could come close to getting it from but I don't want anyone else thinking I'm running a business and not paying for ads

Might try Ranchers Reserve, I've always had good luck with there steaks. Thanks for the suggestion Brent. Wish you were closer Hines but Sherman is a little to far for me

No diss on David's, but I can name four other butcher shops off the top of my head. While it is a dying art, he's not really the last of them

Ye old in Plano
Hamms in McKinney
Kubys in university park
Olde town in lewisville

Is bcoop's name David?

I know there is another butcher shop in Deep Ellum (name escapes me right now) which is a lot closer for me. But since I'm just getting back in I'll probably start with Ranchers Reserve for this weekend.

Oh yeah, and Jose, there's Rudolph's meat market in deep Ellum near mama Mia's.

Haha, no I meant that David's is a fine meat market, but Brent acts like its the only one in the metroplex.

He's not the last one, and didn't say he was. I said he is one of the last. 4 isn't shit for a metroplex this size. There's a few more I'm sure, but still... You know what I meant.

I wouldn't think you were running a biz if you happen to have brisket that could find its way to my smoker.......

Ya that's the name of it.

Gotcha LOL! Don't know how I got confused on that one.

Man you and Matt have to let me know the next time you two get together to do any cooking so I can pick both of your brains as well as kill some brain cells in the process.

Gorman's Meat Market in Terrell if anyone is out east.

We haven't done that in a while. Matt, is your smoker up here?

Yup, and I have a brisket in the freezer too.
