Buying Snake River Farm Locally

edited March 2015 in EggHead Forum
I was in a new butcher shop (new to me) and I saw Snake River Farms on a tag in the meat case that had been covered up with a new provider. I asked if they carried any SRF product and he said they had a few things left from SRF. They had one brisket left that was a solid 4" thick all the way through. Beautiful piece of meat. It didn't look like it was in an original SRF package although I don't know what one looks like. They wanted $11lb for that bad boy. It wasn't frozen. Have you guys and gals been able to procure SRF products locally? I thought it was mail order only. I wonder if it was really SRF. This has been bugging me for two days now. If it's legit it might go splurge on it.

    OK...Im on the fence here. Is SRF really that good or is it just the name? I wont mind throwing the credit card at my computer if I can get a witness! Haha. I have looked at their website and everything looks amazing. I have never had a wygu brisket.

    Would I pay that much for a brisket at a big box retailer, oh hell no. But for SRF it is very much worth it.

    Where are you? I bought Kurubota pork in SF. They had some steaks too but no brisket. It was all in SRF packaging and backed up by SRF pricing. Great stuff though.

    Someone in the Atlanta area posted that they bought SRF locally.  It seemed legit. I dont think they are mail order only.  With free shipping however the price may be similar.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I've seen SRF at H-Mart (Asian grocery).  They didn't have brisket but occasionally have steaks, and almost always have thin slices of liter meat (from just above and below the blade bone in a primal rib) that is phenomenal for a stir fry or a super quick direct grill.

    Dang-the free shipping almost got me again.  SRF is probably my most eggspensive web site.  Have two SRF black briskets in the deep freezer and if more showed up right now I doubt I could dodge the SWMBO bullet.  But to her credit, she does enjoy the end-product.

    I want to try one. I'm not sure if I want to invite friends over because I might hoard it.
