Meat truck tent sale ?

[912smoker]

Has anyone here ever used these guys?
Has to be sub select at those prices.
Didn't have time other than a quick pic this morning but curiosity is getting the best of me. I'll have to go back and check them out this afternoon.

Keith, not sure if it’s the same one… but had a buddy try something similar a couple years ago… he was not impressed! I have to say, I agree with TNJAKE !

Yeah I don't see how that's possible Justin.
But I will check out the pork prices.

They have done the tent sale thing here in Louisiana and Mississippi.. I have heard the commercials on the radio but never stopped by the tent to look things over. I asume it is bottom of the barrel stuff that they need to move quickly before expiration.

Kind of like fish sales at restaurants on Tuesdays....to get rid of old fish before new shipment arrives on Weds./Thurs....

Hmmm maybe I need to find one of those and treat my inlaws as well.

See people in pickup trucks around here often with a freezer in the back selling meat. I just can't bring myself to trust that

It's been awhile since I saw one, but we used to have these guys driving around with a chest freezer in the back of a pickup selling meat out of it. I always took a hard pass when they tried to get me to buy anything.

Never even heard of this as a thing lol.
I personally wouldn't trust random people or little known companies in selling meat out of a truck. If it was a meat packer or processor of some kind that didn't mind having their name out there as part of the sale I would probably take a stab at it.


If legit and the steaks were $2/lb and the meat wasn't bad I would grind the steaks if they were lower quality.
No tenderness issues with ground meat.
If they taste like crap though, no grinding in the world will save them.

But $2/lb meat that is great for grind I'd consider it... after I did some research to make sure the meat wasn't stored raw on the floor or something else bad generally went on with meat in this kind of setup.

Overall though if it's too good to be true then you know the rest :)

So you're saying it may be vegan friendly?

Those trucks with the freezers in the back troll the rental trailer parks regularly around me. Must make money ive seen them around for the past forty years.

I was talking about the $2 ribeyes! If they have name tags I'd run! Fast!

We bought some that were offered like that about 5 years ago while on a job with about 30 guys. Someone bought enough to feed all of us. I've had worse but the steaks were about 3/8" thick before cooking so everyone got 2 steaks. We all got a kick out of it.

My luck it would be that plant based meat that I have no desire to even try. They are around here at times pickups with the freezers and the rental trucks with all the signs in parking lots. I have never tried them

 

[Nefarious]

Incredible, you buy some and someone gets sick, what do you say to them.. Umm, I saw a meat truck on the side of the road and I bought it just for you.

Never happen in my house.
