Good job on the tri-tip.  I wish I could do some tri-tip occasionally, but I just can't justify the $7.99/lb for a small hunk of tri-tip when I can get 10-12 packer briskets at $2.99/lb (prime) around here.  I guess I'll just be sticking with the brisket and admiring your tri-tip.

Looks tasty,I'm glad I can get them under $3.50# most of the time that's bulk with the fat cap.

Tasty looking plate, Richie! The juice on the cutting board says a lot. Like others have noted, the price is way too high, but you just have to try one, right :-)
