Went to my favorite butcher today, Breaux's Mart. Walked straight in the back as usual because I like to choose my cuts (Winn Dixie won't let me do that). Paul Breaux (the main butcher, one of five brothers who own the place) asked me if I was in there for another pork loin. Said no, in for my annual ribeye rack for Christmas. He pulled a few out, and I had him cut one about 14" long (the good end of coarse), a choice cut - not select, top of the line. Told him he has to give me a break on the advertised price of $11.99 a pound because I recalled buying them at $5.99 a pound. He said "Randy - and how many years ago has that been?" He's right, about 10 years I guess. He sold it to me for $8.99 a pound - $1.00 a pound over the wholesale price (Iowa beef), and boneless. Will be smoking that Christmas day.
