I got a 25 lb. prime rib sub primal at the Chef's store for half price once when I was just browsing the meat room with no intention of purchasing anything ; employee there told me his supplier had delivered too many prime ribs, so he put them on sale well before their expiration date; made some delicious cap steaks and rib eyes for the price per pound of chuck the supermarket charges!

[@EffdaBlx]

What does this mean subprimal does that mean lesser quality

[@johnHofweber]

@@EffdaBlx a beef carcass has seven (I think) 'primals', shoulder, ribs, rump, flank, shanks, brisket, and plate; most of these are divided into smaller pieces called sub primals; this has nothing to do with the quality of the meat

[@EffdaBlx]

@@johnHofweber ah I see can be a bit confusing thx for learnin me

[@johnHofweber]

@@EffdaBlx there's lots of info online about this, KZbin has some good videos on butchering subprimals into steaks, roasts, etc. and it's not difficult to do (if you don't have to break down ten sides of beef a day, as professional butchers do)

[@EffdaBlx]

@@johnHofweber idk cooking a steak seems less straight forwards then chicken also the cost nit in bidens america

[@mutantryeff]

Our local restaurant supply stores are well stocked, but their prices are very high. If I'm going to pay those high prices, I just go directly to a local butcher.

[@Amocoru]

Not everyone has that option, sadly. Where I live butchers won't sell the BBQ cuts because they sell them directly to restaurants or cook it themselves for a profit.

[@bobby350z]

Here the butcher will be couple of times more expensive.

[@AdamFloro]

@@Amocoru At least you have a butcher. I have Walmart.

[@september29ification]

What? The beef prices are several dollars less a pound.

[@mutantryeff]

@@september29ification Not where I live. The quality at the local butcher is also higher as he purchases local cattle from small farms.

[@catalystguitarguy]

Chef Store is great! In my city there’s a Chef Store and a Costco Business center that does bulk slabs. Those are my go to places for meat. A 16Lb slab of Rib Eye for $83 was my last purchase from Costco.

[@suzannereeves7768]

Wow, how lucky to have such a store near you! I only have a Costco and Sam’s. Not a Costco Business Center either. Love seeing all the shelving of various spices.

[@Sean-d9z]

Thank you thank you and thank you! I a US chef store opened near me and I saw you videos on Terrs Major!!! Wow … is that good!!! That steak is absolutely tender and amazing! In 48 years of my life I’ve never heard of this. This will now always be a staple in my freezer! I love that store and definitely the Teres Major!!! Thank you! I never would’ve known about the steak if you had not made the video!

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

I hve a US Chef Store near me, I go there often. You do have to check the rating of the meat (Prime, Choice or Select). Select briskets will be the cheapest but sometimes they are a little too lean for a BBQ brisket (ok for corned beef). Sometimes they have good deals for either NY strip or ribeyes. Some of them have whole lambs in the freezer. They do have the best price for ground lamb (which I've seen in another freezer section, not in the meat room). Their prices for pork are also good. I pick up a 2-pack of shoulder when I'm making sausages.

[@joePARKS]

I discovered US Foods Chef Store because of your earlier Teres Major video .... now I shop here all the time - thank you

[@Treyz44]

I used to work at US Foods for a three years (here in Idaho it was called Cash and Carry back then) and can attest that the meat section is amazing and you can find great deals. I still go there for meats and my parents shop there for their restaurant. The store is aimed at restaurants so everything is the best price at bulk. They also have a great frozen section inside the freezers. They are great for bulk spices, sauces (chipotle, mayo, ketchup, soy sauce, etc.) as well as flour, potato's, onions, pretty much anything you'd want in bulk as a restaurant.

[@Cars_Dogs_Cats]

Just when I thought I couldn't gasm anymore, you showed us the spice aisle. And you didn't treat it as an afterthought. Absolute respect!

[@lazygardens]

They have HUGE jars of chipotle powder (just the smoked, ground chiles, nothing else) at a very reasonable price.

[@KillTakeoff]

Costco sells everything whole outta the meat department all you have to do is ask and buying pieces of meat whole can drop the price 1$ sometimes 4 dollars a pound less and if you have enough space or a business we even sell whole cases of items for cheaper like for example instead of one pack of party wings for 26 bucks at 2.49 a pound you can come ask us and get a 44 pound box for like 100 at 2.29 a pound

[@gabekiser8663]

The party wings don’t change by cage the only one you don’t get a deal on😂 come one

[@KillTakeoff]

@ actually the party wings do go down from 2.79 to 2.39 per pound if you choose to get a case down here in south Fl even though not a major difference if your runnin a small business every penny count

[@thomasbrogan8036]

Thanks !

[@Amocoru]

This store has saved me in NC. We had no place to buy brisket or skin on pork belly. Now I can get choice briskets for $60 and prime for just under $100. It has been a life saver for me.

[@vittoriovuocolo2438]

If your military the commissary on post has the best meat at decent prices.

[@chalabread]

Checked it out but I found Costco business center has a better price and better portions, like instead of only 17lb roast you can get also the 10lb version (also it has a meat room aswell)

[@september29ification]

If you have that facility in your city.

[@salpotestivo3066]

I LOVE your videos, and I also shop at US Chefstore! PLEASE do a video on flap meat - there is just so much going on when I cut open the big plastic bag!

This is the kind of channel i was looking for. Those little individual cut on the super market shelf drive me nuts. Besides i want to try making things, like biltong, jerky, dry cured, etc.

[@samscharp3367]

I have never heard of this store before and thought this place looked pretty cool on your video. I was thinking man that would be a great place to buy bulk meat but there probably isn't one in my city. I look it up and there is one 4 miles from my house! Ive probably driven past it 1,000 times and didn't know. This place owes you a royalty.

[@patricklewis8591]

We have nothing like that here so it’s another reason we started raising our own Black Angus calves. We just could not get quality meat regardless of price. So we corn/grass feed on 50 acres & our last 10 month old calf dressed out (HCW), at 475lbs & ran $3.85/lb after the butchering. Our chuck steaks are so tender we just BBQ them. Our ground beef is so lean the wife mixes in ground bacon for the hamburgers. We also raise pigs, but we like them @ about 200lbs.

[@ellenw391]

Wish we had this in my state. Brought back fond memories of the sadly long gone Hilltop Steakhouse Butcher shops. They were better because while packages were large, they weren't restaurant size. And when an item was on sale, you loaded up. Which was great, because there was always some steaks, veal cutlets, etc in my freezer. They sold the same meat and products they used in their restaurants. Boy I miss them!! Closest we have here is Restaurant Depot, which is not open to the public.

[@SallyJohnson-rk8ic]

Was that Hilltop Steakhouse in a suburb near Boston? I remember going to a place with that name a few times in the early 80s when I was in school in Cambridge.

[@jpbanksnj]

Wow, very impressive, but the closest one to me is 4 states away. They need to expand, especially since they have many commercial US Foods distribution centers near me.

[@sidlulz]

Used to have Teres Major at my old job, we would get it from Chef Store. You trimming it def gave me some flashbacks lol. It is a great cut though, I gotta go grab a bag of it now

[@blandrooker6541]

Some restaurant supply companies have retail outlets that sell goods in institutional quantities. Ours is Shamrock Foods, I used to buy thousands of dollars worth of supplies back when I was a Chef. However, while you can buy primals, it's not the best that can be found locally, we're lucky to have a supplier that sells locally grown meats that are of higher quality (28 day dry age, 14 day wet, grass fed, grain finish Prime) for not much more than retail sells as Choice.

[@snarky4lyfe144]

For the Montreal steak seasoning, just compare the ingredients , grab the missing and the cheaper version and mix in your own. plus you have extra of the original missing , you can add to taste or assume the amount and mix it in the larger container.

[@StephanMussehl]

Love your videos, I have learned a lot. Looking for instruction on shoulder clod and heart of clod. I understand these are cuts that produce flat iron steaks, and boneless short ribs, two of my favorite cuts. I see them available at the chef's store. Future video? Thanks

[@crushingbelial]

Yep that's been my new go-to. Since Costco in my area has dog doodoo choices in brisket anymore, I end up utilizing Chef's Store more often than not

Shoulder clods are great for chopped beef sandwiches for a large crowd

[@nellermann]

Costco near Milwaukee tonight had basically nothing in large packs for me to break down. Their rib roasts were same price as cut boneless ribeyes. Costco's options have really been less and less for us in the past year or two. The only beef options were whole brisket and tenderloin.

Great video as always. Unfortunately it was a big tease, as there are no stores even remotely near my location.

[@LaGondolaChicago]

Google Restaurant Depot or Jetro, they are also open to the public and have a bigger selection and much better price than any legacy distributor. Besides US Foods just sold the chef store.

[@soundbites1152]

They advertise "Wholsale Prices" and that may be true for some things. Mostly the spice aisle and maybe the frozen foods. But, they are more expensive than the local grocery stores here in the Portland, OR area for just about everything else. I bought Hormel brand baby back pork ribs this week at WinCo for $2.58/lb. Chef'Store wanted $3.09/lb for Canadian pork. When it was Cash 'n Carry, they were a great deal. Since the pandemic, prices have doubled on a lot of items. I only go there for Coffee Syrup and certain spices these days.

[@danimullen3457]

Great video, I have never seen Teresa Major at my Chef store in Tumwater Washington. I will have to ask next time I am there. Also interested in those chuck ribs, never seen them either.

[@ManuFortis]

Wholesale Club is a worthy recommendation for people in Canada looking for something similar to what The Chef's Store offers. It's not quite the same, and sadly... it's operated by Loblaws. But the selection is pretty nice for folk who need more than just what the usual supermarket provides. And they don't charge for a membership like Costco... last I used them at least. But that was a couple years ago almost now.

[@patriciacox8169]

This is where I shop. Going there tomorrow.

[@LygarZeroX]

i have a few of them in my city. it doesn't exceed the savings of holiday ribeye prices that are limit 1 or require a minimum purchase, however it is nearly equivalent to costco business centers that would have it. meats however are not labeled by prime, choice, select. you will have to use your own judgement IBP is ungraded.
