If you ever wondered why brisket at a restaurant is so expensive.

Here you go. Here's why. This is a real great video that's explains why brisket costs what it does when you go out to eat.

He's right. Almost makes me want to cry. When I started making brisket, 15 years ago or so, I could get a packer for $45 easily.

When I first started learning how to cook brisket. I was paying 20 to 40 for select.

Same and next thing I knew we were pushing $100. Then I went to Frisco for NDSU vs JMU #2 and ar inedible of the grocery stores they had Prime Packers for $45 and I was getting Choice for $80-100 in ND. I should have went and bought a cooler and loaded up for the drive home

Beef is @ 75 yr low inventory .
Oil demands continues to increase as usual , due to the previous administration , over 12 years ?
Not going to go on ?

If I really want a brisket I will fire up my smoker.

I learned how great a brisket can taste in Texas at a restaurant.

I then learned how to make my own. This took time to perfect.

I no longer have any urge to order brisket from a restaurant.

With beef production at a 75 yr low (this alone will take many years to correct) and diesel now above $6/gal in some areas, full packer pricing will continue to increase. While we can expect fuel pricing to subside after a while, resolving the beef supply is going to be a very large mountain to climb. A number of cattle ranchers have left the market. Today, the start up costs and time for setting up a viable and sustainable herd is enormous. For those still in the business getting their cattle processed within a specific timeframe window (very important) is a problem because the number of volume meat processors has also dropped. There are many fingers to point at causes but in the end, here we are.

Wrong thread I know, but I passed my local Pacific Pride station as I do every morning; today diesel was $7.29 a gallon.

Went to a local bbq joint a few weeks ago. The brisket on the sampler platter was a $3.00 upcharge. I ordered it and it was the smallest piece of meat I've seen since I was at a White Castle. Sad.

EXACTLY! The math he whipped is almost the same as my last brisket.
Started at 18lb, trimed to 13lb, yield was about 6-7lb.
