Brisket in Southeast Michigan

[papabob]

Does anyone know a good place in Southeast Michigan to get good packer brisket. We have several good wholesale locations like Wolverine Packing but no retail. HELP. Itching to test my new MES 40 with a good 12-16 hour smoke.

Believe it or not, I've found full packer cuts at WalMarts... most times they only have Select grade but one time they had Choice.

I did have some luck at the Eastern Market this past summer though. Found this guy:

Hyatt Black Angus Farms  (hyattblackangusfarms.com) ... he had a booth inside the market. I ordered at 12 pounder from him this past summer... was near Prime grade and reasonably priced. Turned out to be the best brisket I had ever cooked/tasted.

good luck

Wally World good idea, ask the butcher if you don't see any out. They may trim them before they put em in the case. Worth a try

Do you have any Gordon Foodservice cash and carry stores? The one closest to me carries them.
