  • The Big Brisket Cookoff Results

    Well the results are in for the Big Brisket Cookoff. To recap we cooked an American Wagyu Brisket, one from our butcher and one from Costco as our Walmart did not have a brisket. The prices were $240, $150, and $75. Our goal was only if we treated each brisket exactly the same could average people tell the difference?
