First off, I live within 4 miles of a "Restaurant Depot" and was able to join... OH MY WORD those prices are KICK 'DONKEY'!!!!
I can't believe how much of a meat smokers dream it is to see items we use so cheap!! I'm talking Cheaper than SAM'S by far in some cases. I know cuz I've been a Sam's business card holder since '91.
ANYWAY, so they have a boat load of meat!!...all cuts, all kinds, all different prices. WOW, bone in pork butts for $.97/lb... Spare ribs for the same!!
So I went there to get their Pork Butts for tomorrows smoke... I thought they were going to come 4 to a package and instead they are only 2 to a package which now DOUBLES my cooking time that if I want to be done by 6pm SAT eve, I have to at least think about starting at 3am in order to do 2 9lb butts.... right? (I can't cut them in half can I ???... they are 'bone-in' so I'd think that not to be an option)
here they are on Butcher Paper ready for my Rub...
Rubbed them and wrapped in paper and put in the frig till 3am....
Also made some "Chevys Salsa" while I was fooling around with all the Cilantro I bought from Restaurant Depot...
When I get up and put them on I'll post more pics...LOL
