Against your advice;  I checked out this thread hungry.  It was worth it anyway.

I envy you your access to ribs like that.  Just one of my local grocery stores used to offer butcher cut beef ribs from time to time but I haven't seen those in over a year.  All I see nowadays are the "carved to the bone cryovaced ones. 

I sure do enjoy your meal threads and plate up pictures. 

Points!

(Looks like I still haven't mastered the art of giving points.  Sorry about that.  I'll get it together eventually.

Wow.. as always, your smoking adventures are looking sooo yummy.
But your titles are point worthy, as well as your meals.. :points:

Thanx!!!

The point works!! I appreciate it!!! Sometimes it takes a refresh on your browser to show up on your end. 

Have you tried asking for chuck short ribs at your local store? If they carry them. most of the store meat departments around here cut them into individual bones or flanken style(Korean short ribs) for display. I have to ask for the racks(3-4 bones) uncut, unless I head over to the Restaurant Depot in San Jose or in a few specialty markets with an actual butcher. Most of the Whole Foods($8.99-10.99lb

 ) around here carries them as well.

I see the butcher cut ribs here as well. I believe the butcher cut ribs(depending on the area of the country you reside) are from the center section of the ribs(standing prime rib roast area). The chuck ribs are from the first 4-5 ribs in the shoulder. For me, there's just not enough meat on the bones after the prime rib roast has been removed, unless I do it myself.

Glad to know that the point was added and thanks for the tip on refreshing the page to check.

I have not asked about beef ribs in the coastal NC store local to me.  I gave up when all of the stores around me told me that they couldn't get pork bellies for my bacon projects.  I wound up having to drive an hour to pork specialty shops for those.

It is worth asking about the beef and I will.  Thanks for the reminder.

I'm lucky enough to have a small specialty grocer(Scotts Valley Market) that will order items if I request them. I can see our requests reflected in the weekly sales flyer a few weeks later. 

  If that doesn't work, I'm a 45 minute drive to the SF Bay area, where I can find almost everything I will ever need and then some. 

You never know until you ask. 

It is hard to complain;  When I moved to this area 25 years ago, If you couldn't fry it in a deep fryer, you couldn't find it in the grocery stores.  Things have changed quite a bit for the better but are still frustrating in some regards.  It was a big difference compared to shopping primarily at the roadside fruit / veg stands and fish markets of south Florida.

To me it sounds like you are living in "grocery Heaven". 

You are, of coarse correct in saying "You never know till you ask"  and I will ask.

What a great post!!  I did, however, find the shorts and t-shirt comment totally lacking in consideration for those of us with snow on the ground.  Try to be a little more sensitive in the future.  

Keeping that criticism in mind,
