My biggest problem working with restaurateurs is that they don't vet their menus or standardize their recipe cards BEFORE they open their doors to the general public... that's what soft opening are for - and unfortunately, these days very few operations utilize them. As for the brisket - eh, brisket in general is a crap shoot. Unless you've set standards with your purveyors as to what you'll accept, generally, you're going to be disappointed - the fat cap varies too greatly for untrained people to know how to handle it. The bigger problem was they didn't cook it long enough. End Rant...<br />I'm still looking for a viable CSA in my area where I don't have to drive an hour for a pick up location... I guess I'll stick with curb markets for the time being.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066917835675581902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942031682783666163.post-77003030846473355842012-09-20T01:09:27.479-05:002012-09-20T01:09:27.479-05:00Augh!

And that beef recall, what a bummer! All your hard work and money spent gone to waste.
