As I have stated in a few threads, I will be cooking for my wife's family reunion. I suspect to have more than four people there so I was planning on cooking two briskets, two pork butts and one Turkey.. My question is about the meats. I have cooked tons of brisket before but always choice and never Prime or Wagyu. All the folks coming in for the reunion are from Chicago, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi. Part of me knows that once they here we are bbqing several of those loud mouths country folks will be very curious as to what I can accomplish being an islander that lives in VA. So needless to say, I want to impress big time. So what are your thoughts, should I pay the extra for the good stuff? If so where should I purchase it from. Pound for Pound, I would simple do one of those USDA prime brisket from Costco, but they are not available in VA.
The same thing goes for the pork butts. I am thinking about going to one of the many local Virginia Farms that sell Berkshire porks. I greatly appreciate any advice. Best
