I feel ya. Brisket is going for $9-12/lb here which goes completely against the soul of bbq. I broke down and found a place that would sell me just a point the other weekend so I could have some decent ends. Around here, we seem to have a combo of Eastern block butchers that have 100 different kinds of sausage but look at you funny if you ask for a brisket point and these hotshot boutique butcher/craft cocktail/small plate/DJ's on the rooftop at night y'all! places that make me want to start disgorging fools with my Victorinox.
Anyway, I lean spicy with my bbq but the wife says she wants sticky sweet ribs this weekend so that's I'm going drink a bunch of pineapple juice the night before I make these spicy ribs.
