As you are in So Cal, I have to highly recommend http://www.brandtbeef.com/
A large number of competition bbq teams swear by their product. They are frequently a sponsor of the California BBQ Association classes, so I have had their tri-tip many times, and they are delicious. So are their briskets
@steveking - FYI, SRF will have our annual "early holiday" ham and roast sale starting nov 7th. That will be the best prices of the season for our holiday items. Just a FYI in the event you don't find what you're looking for elsewhere.
