Also, in "that is one of the most Brisketexan things ever" news, there's this:

Cleaning out my parents' house after my dad's death.  They kept....EVERYTHING.  Seriously, like stacks of those little notepads my dad would carry in his shirt pocket.  We have a million of those.  Last weekend, we were really tackling all the papers pretty hard.  I'm going through those notepads, and I get one that's from what looks to be around 1978.  My dad was clearly pondering some investment ideas/ways to make money.  His current job had him traveling to Louisiana for probably two weeks a month; he knew S. Louisiana like the back of his hand.

So, I get to the page where he listed what he thought were his best three options.  I can't even remember what the other two were, but there in the #1 spot was

"Popeye's franchise?"

Imagine that.  Familia Brisketexan coulda been the folks who brought Popeyes to Texas.  What coulda been....

If you'll write me some Susanna Hoffs fan-fic involving young Brisketexan and some Popeyes....I'll read it.

This is a board of degenerates, but I'm not sure even we want to read "Brisket verily admitted that he'd crawl through broken glass to let Susanna Hoffs shit in his mouth, as long as her last meal was Popeye's."

But now they're going to read it anyway.

Needs “Dear Penthouse Forum” opening and writing in the first person.  
 

Dear Penthouse Forum,

 

I never thought it would happen to me.  As I entered the room I found Susanna and her moist bosom delicately glistening from sweat our eyes locked and she noticed the much more profuse trails of sweat on my forehead a result of rapid thrusting consumption of a 6 piece basket of spicy Popeyes chicken….

At what point does supply and demand bring prices down? At these levels, beef consumption has to be down significantly. 

That’s not how things work. Remember reading about the Great Depression?

No, it’s exactly how it works.  Demand for beef is obviously still supportive of current prices.  The government intervened during GD attempting to maintain prices for producers.

In my little world I think that although steak increases are the most visible, steak eaters are still going to eat steak. They just like to bitch about the price. 
My worry with the grocery store shoppers are the quiet ones who are buying chicken instead of $8/pound hamburger.

During the Great Egg Shortage of the 2020s, we reached out to other countries to resolve the Supply issue of the Supply Demand slopes to help drive down cost. I don't remember egg farmers bitching about that move.

Why is it bad to do the same for beef prices?

I'll hang up and listen.

Because this is the beef industry's first time to engage in price gouging since COVID?

Egg industry makes up some bullshit excuse at least once a year.  My favorite was "Well, we're in baking season."  Like that was the first year everyone decided to bake a cake or something.

Just in time for bird flu

Quote

As birds fly south for the winter, they're carrying with them some unwelcome cargo: the H5N1 virus, or bird flu.

In the past 30 days, the virus has struck 66 poultry flocks, leading to the deaths of more than 3.5 million turkeys, chickens and ducks, a steep increase compared to the summer months. The virus can spread easily when infected wild birds mix with commercial or backyard flocks.

I had just locked the doors and started pretending to sweep up the customer area when I heard the hiss of the tour bus coming to a stop outside.

independent egg farmers don’t exist as any sort of factor in the mass egg market. It’s contract or corporate production all the way down. So there’s no one there to bitch.

As I tell my wife, pork producers pay me too, and there is a lot of bang for your buck in pork shoulder and such if you know what you are doing

Hits close to home.  Few weeks ago I went to Costco to get steaks to grill while watching football on the patio.  $18.99/lb. NOPE.  Pork Shoulders on the WSM made some delicious PP sandwiches.  Froze portions and have had Kimchi Rice bowls and Quesadillas subsequently.

Pork steaks are also delicious.  Personally, we've moved on to top sirloin cooked rare.  It's pretty underrated as long as you don't overcook it and cut against the grain.

For sure. We are a ribeye family, but I can still get Choice sirloins for $8.99/lb. A 1.75 lb. sirloin is still an under $10/person meal.

Same here. Ribeye on the grill, but you can do a lot of things with those other steaks. A friend of mine gets chuck steaks instead of chuck roasts when he butchers, and he’s got grilling them down to a fine art.

Smoked chuckies are the tits.  Better than brisket for chopped sammiches.  fraction of the price, cook in half the time, don't have to worry about leftovers, etc.
