$100 gift card at local butcher....what are you buying??

Like the title says.  $100 gift card to spend at your local butcher.  What are you buying with it?  Could be for just you, you +1 or more.  What are you buying and what are you making with it?

Depends on how good the meat selection is. Run of the mill shop, whole ribeye. I’ll cut it and trim it myself

I have that exact problem. I was gifted a $100 gift card to the local chain butcher 8 years or so ago. I walked in and aquired about their briskets. I was shown their 2lb frozen solid brisket in the freezer. Let's just say I have a $100 butcher gift card yet that's not burning a hole in my pocket....

See if you can sell it for $80 cash. Then spend it on whatever the heck you want to.

Actually the shop is great quality and will order things they don't have.  It's my go to.  Get all my steaks and some seafood there.  Trying to figure out what to get.

I should add it's a mom and pop type shop but great quality and service.  I will spend it there but trying to think outside of my normal prime steak cuts.

I believe you're from Minnesota if I'm not mistaking? Tri-tip might be worth looking into. I've had some luck with certain Cub Foods with tri-tip but still kind of a unicorn for most places around here.

Pork chops. Center cut rib chops to be exact. Can’t go wrong my friend.

Beef short ribs for me!

Depending on the shop you might get lucky and score a pork rectum. If the stars really line up in your favor you might get really lucky and score a beef rectum. I would definitely inquire.

Sadly, since Snyder's Meats/Ogden closed, I have no local butcher shop, save a Hispanic market in west Ogden that only sells $100+ mixed Box sets, and my freezer wouldn't accommodate that that much bulk.  
So, I guess, a donation to the Utard Food Bank.

You really need plenty of oil if you’re working with rectum.

First, I had to google my local butcher, as I've not seen one per se, here in the 'burbs.  But I like this question - so I think I would look for some things I've not ever cooked/eaten before and and use the money to give that a go.  Things like goat, lamb, pheasant, different sausages/wursts/chorizos, beef tongue, stuff like that...


Otherwise, I'd load up on beef plate ribs & briskets!

If it is a real good butcher, I would tell him you have a Hundo and you want something special.  Let him/her hook you up.

Depends which local butcher.  The one to the south, connected to the abattoir, it'd be 5-6 lbs of their bacon to repack in smaller quantities myself, a packer, and some local jumbo lump crab.  

The one to the north would be bone-in pork chops, prosciutto, merguez, and beef shanks.   They also have Rockwood and March Hen (formerly Geechie Boy) grits, so maybe either of those if I need some.
