I used to respect "Larry's Great Western Meats" here in Las Vegas since practically everyone recommended them. Years ago, when I asked about the flatiron, the guys said, "Naw, too much work to cut, but we can order a case for you."

I was told that they would chop it vertically (like the guy at Whole Foods did) and that the "flatironing" was "hey, let's cut it horizontally" idea. Of course, that was just what one butcher told me.

I couldn't remember if it was a tendon or not. I've peeled many a hunk o' silverskin off of ribs, knew that wasn't the right term, but it was more of a WAG on my part. :)

Not necessarily, depending on grain size and how tightly it's packed. Perhaps he got the FA and FG scales mixed up when packing the lift charge. (I can't watch with audio right now, so that might be on the tape.)

Well, at least the first part of your comment is accurate. You're not a rocket scientist.

Bad headline. I thought this was going to be a "This guy actually proposed the concept of using Pandora radio in 1995" or something.

Yup, the First Amendment still exists!

From the website: That’s what prompted a meat scientist, a chef and a university to team up to find a new steak, saving an undervalued muscle from the fate of the grinder and moving it to a far more valuable place – the center of the plate.

Absolutely. I still have trouble finding butchers who want to cut flatirons, but man, it's some fine, cheap eating.

CaptainJack has it dead on.

Well, if you're happy with #4 on the tenderness scale, so be it. More flatirons for me!

Man, I hope you never complain about any inaccurate reporting on here with a total bullshit statement like that.

They know how to disassemble a carcass, but they don't know every possible way to cut up every muscle on the cow.

That's exactly what it is.

Just as well, but without all the coal dust and clay. :)

This isn't the same picture that's been floating around for years? Wow.

"patent pending aquarium has a hidden cavity inside the tank that conceals the TV and lift equipment from view."

and let's make sure that we overstock the tank without properly cycling it so that everything will die.

On Amazon, there's a $14 vinyl attachment for the Magic Wand that has overwhelmingly positive reviews. They ain't lyin', either!

Wow.
