Rules question.

Went to my favorite meat counter looking for a thick cut ribeye. They had nothing thicker than maybe 1 1/4" in the case. Counter was busy and didn't want to wait for a special cut. Picked up a thick 2# Delmonico.

If I decide to enter, is a Delmonico an acceptable entry?

Good question - I've seen cuts labeled "Delmonico" that were clearly ribeye, but also seen cuts like Chuckeye also labeled as ribeye. Thus, there seems to be no clear consensus as to what a "Delmonico" really is:

If the meat you purchased looks like this, with a filet in the center surrounded by a cap, then it's a ribeye:

If it doesn't look like this, then it's not a ribeye. :thumb:
