I think I wrecked my taste buds.

[Coreymacc]

I have had an absolutely great summer and fall for smoking meat. The weather has been really good. I did at least 6 briskets, a few batches of short ribs, pulled pork, St louis ribs, pretty beef heavy. I realized I didn't do ANY steaks, ribeyes are the favorite in the house. Realizing this, I threw a couple on last night for the wife and I, everything went well, made the sides, sat down to dig in, first slice, , not really that good. Second, same thing, no real beef flavor. Almost bland, and I like ribeyes for the really beefy flavor. By the time I got through, it was getting better but I think a wrecked my taste buds eating brisket and its amazing beef flavor. Steaks don't taste as good anymore, wife felt that way also

Anybody else notice this before?

Where did you get your ribeyes? I've found that steaks from the grocery just doesnt carry the flavor of a steak from a dedicated butcher.
