Is there really much of a noticeable difference between choice and prime briskets?

I would say Prime is worth the extra money on brisket IF it's trimmed well. Prime marbling means you don't need a real thick fat cap on the brisket IMO. So if you're having to trim off a couple pounds of fat, it might not be worth it. Also, I generally am not a fan of Tom Thumb's beef (or their non-sale prices on beef). So do a good inspection on the brisket if you're going w/ Tom Thumb.

Not sure what changed with Tom Thumb, for the last 3-5 years their meat has not been as good, maybe new supplier thats cheaper? Having said that, with all of these special holiday sales, you need to check all of the meat out thoroughly When Prime is only a dollar more than choice on a brisket, I agree it is worth it.

Is there really much of a noticeable difference between choice and prime briskets? Consistency and tenderness. You have to pay up for that.

I want a thicker flat that will not cook too fast and dry out before the cap is cooked. I have won competitions with Choice Brisket, I have fed weddings, funerals, and 4rth of July picnics with some of the most tender and consistent choice brisket that you have ever had.

Sam's Prime Brisket's are very good cuts of meat, if they had Prime on sale for $2.97 lb, you bet your azz I would get one vs a Choice for a $1.97 from Kroger Went to Tom Thumb yesterday to pick up a few items, looked at the supposed Prime Briskets and the were pretty pathetic, very little marbling and big chunks of fat (Deckle?)all over them.. Like I mentioned preciously, Tom Thumb's meat has gone down hill big time. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/05/full-1274-421109-brisket_tt.jpg)

The deckle is only in one spot on a brisket, hard fat on the side of the point. Won't be all over.

I'm itching for some brisket. Think I'll cook one this Saturday to go with the last sack of crawfish I'm cooking this season.
