    I am not in the Philly area, but I was able to find them at Sams Club in the Atlanta area. They are not on display, but you can ask for them from the meat counter. If you see any kind of short ribs for sale then they probably have them whole in the back. They came in a cryo pack with two slabs. 


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

    John's Roast Pork, Tony Luke's, Dallisandro's and DiNic's are all supposed to be excellent for cheesesteaks or roast pork. Pat's and Geno's not so much. That's what I've read anyway. Never tried them and haven't been to Philly since the 80's.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Tony Luke's under 95' in south philly gets my vote. I think DiNic's Roast Pork in the Reading Terminal Market is one of the best in the city tho.
