Ever been to Zabars?
It’s not your ordinary brisket, what they do is....ethereal!
The same thing happened to chicken wings. When I was a kid 35 years ago, we would have chicken wings all the time, shake n bake before the buffalo wing took hold, because my parents bought them because they were cheap, now, what was once considered scraps are priced through the roof.
I have read a half dozen similar articles in the last month or so.
All of the others mentioned the popularity and ease of use of pellet
smokers as a contributing factor. I am surprised this article omitted
that part.
Last weekend we took a ride out to Minooka for a BBQ for our God daughter's college graduation.
Prolly saw 10-15 pellet smokers in use on the 30 min drive there and 10 more when we hit the subdivision. ( Six I could see just from my nephews backyard) and they were all smoking.

Nowadays, only a cut like 7-bone steak is cheap. Is there anything good you can do with those?
