Where to get Meyer prime brisket?

I recently ordered out some corned beef. It was incredibly moist. I had happen to be talking to the chef who had prepared it and he said he buys Meyer prime briskets from a local wholesaler. I had previously tried to order meat from this wholesaler and they told me they only do business accounts.

I think Chris mentioned something on the main page about working with Meyer brisket, and I happen to see another restaurant's menu that advertised Meyer beef. I'm thinking it may be popular, I just need a source.

Has anybody seen Meyer products in their neck of the woods?

yeah, I saw that too, no prime briskets listed.

I have often circumvented this by telling the wholesaler that I am a business - I am simply a sole proprietor - and that my clients are high-end and that I only seek the best for them (and will mention the source). I then ask the minimum purchase; it's often reasonable.

Others I know in catering or comps have done the same. I know Jim Minion was getting great prices on SRF's briskets with this approach.
