So after my 28lb beast came and went from my life I never thought in person I would see another brisket larger or be able to purchase one :sad:. I just assumed I'd always be chasing the dragon. Then randomly on FB a buddy posted he saw a 29lb'er in Sam's club (which is strange because the Sams by me I've only seen maybe 15lb decent looking ones). Then another friend (and brethren) bought it for me since it was about an hour away. This was back in April so just getting it now. I have seen some SRF wagyus 30+, but that is semi-commom for those specialty ones(even a 33lber I saw on FB recently :shock. But to get and cook and even more massive brisket than my last is going to be fun.
Also that friend picked up a couple nice Primes as they were traveling up north so I couldn't be happier to get them all today!! :clap2:
All are frozen since I had no idea when I would pick them up so better to be safe, though the Primes are aged about 50 days before freezing. It's hard to tell the big difference in size from 28 to 29lb overall, but this one is a lot thicker and a little shorter I believe. So I won't drag this out any more. Here are the pics.
Here it is
Sitting next to 2 primes that equal its size
Man it's thick
Comparison to one of the primes
Hilarious picture of it trying to fit into a pan
All of them standing up
And me feeding it the tequila it asked for..........this could be a bad sign :loco::twitch:
I have no idea when I will cook it or the others, but probably later this month or possibly 4th of July :-D
