This is an old YT reference I’ve come back to several times just for a basic reference to know how to prepare a few different cuts that my family randomly brings me.
This is framed loosely around some kind of mail service that specializes in shipping high quality cuts. I’ve never looked into it or used it myself; just a full disclosure. The person’s perspective is that of a geek nerding out, not some marketing wank.
Typical USA grocery stores do not break down a side like this guy, but if you want to know the details about a cut and what you’re really looking at from the details on the label, this guy breaks it all down well. In fact, I’m kinda bummed about being disabled and unable to regularly go shopping myself after seeing this video and mulling it over. This person’s perspective clearly shows how your local butcher sees the meat and the potential knowledge they may have related to your culinary goals.
I really like this guy’s whole channel. He’s sorta like Food Lab lite. The science isn’t quite as hardcore, but he does a good job testing recipes and talking about technique. Definitely worth watching.
Yeah, this guy looking super confused on the thumbnail really makes me want to take his word for it.
I hate the YT thumb algo as much as the next person, but in context, it’s his channel and the guy doing the talking is entirely different. The gist he’s communicating is how complicated all this can seem, or that there are a lot more cuts present on those 3 sheets than is typically seen elsewhere.
This was really interesting. Thanks for posting.
I think it could be improved a bit by adding 3D views of where each cut comes from. I think I mostly understand that, but I think 3D graphics would make understanding easier.
