This Is My Go-To Place To Buy Big Cuts Of Meat 

Get Your Butcher Wizard 6” Boning Knife On Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3FHKF8P?maas=maas_adg_039FF9F14BA5A72920BF695E1A23A8FB_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

I got a 25 lb. prime rib sub primal at the Chef's store for half price once when I was just browsing the meat room with no intention of purchasing anything ; employee there told me his supplier had delivered too many prime ribs, so he put them on sale well before their expiration date; made some delicious cap steaks and rib eyes for the price per pound of chuck the supermarket charges!

Just when I thought I couldn't gasm anymore, you showed us the spice aisle. And you didn't treat it as an afterthought. Absolute respect!

Our local restaurant supply stores are well stocked, but their prices are very high. If I'm going to pay those high prices, I just go directly to a local butcher.

I discovered US Foods Chef Store because of your earlier Teres Major video .... now I shop here all the time - thank you

My employer. I mechanic in the fleet shop. We don't have a Chef's store in Centennial. But, we have over stock discounts available. Best employer I've ever had.

Chef Store is great! In my city there’s a Chef Store and a Costco Business center that does bulk slabs. Those are my go to places for meat. A 16Lb slab of Rib Eye for $83 was my last purchase from Costco.

Shoulder clods are great for chopped beef sandwiches for a large crowd

That was the best ad lib sound effect to cover for a mic fail.

I have never heard of this store before and thought this place looked pretty cool on your video. I was thinking man that would be a great place to buy bulk meat but there probably isn't one in my city. I look it up and there is one 4 miles from my house! Ive probably driven past it 1,000 times and didn't know. This place owes you a royalty.

This store has saved me in NC. We had no place to buy brisket or skin on pork belly. Now I can get choice briskets for $60 and prime for just under $100. It has been a life saver for me.

Checked it out but I found Costco business center has a better price and better portions, like instead of only 17lb roast you can get also the 10lb version (also it has a meat room aswell)

I wish we had something like that where i live.

This beef comes from outside the US I was told. I’d rather buy local and know how the animal was raised. Cheap is not always a good thing.

Been trying to find a place that sells pork belly here on the west coast after we moved. Thanks for making me aware of this store.

Great vids, thanks! Please don't poison yourself using a Teflon/non-stick pan on high heat! Use a stainless steel pan or iron skillet.

We have nothing like that here so it’s another reason we started raising our own Black Angus calves. We just could not get quality meat regardless of price. So we corn/grass feed on 50 acres & our last 10 month old calf dressed out (HCW), at 475lbs & ran $3.85/lb after the butchering. Our chuck steaks are so tender we just BBQ them. Our ground beef is so lean the wife mixes in ground bacon for the hamburgers. We also raise pigs, but we like them @ about 200lbs.

I used to work at US Foods for a three years (here in Idaho it was called Cash and Carry back then) and can attest that the meat section is amazing and you can find great deals. I still go there for meats and my parents shop there for their restaurant. The store is aimed at restaurants so everything is the best price at bulk. They also have a great frozen section inside the freezers. They are great for bulk spices, sauces (chipotle, mayo, ketchup, soy sauce, etc.) as well as flour, potato's, onions, pretty much anything you'd want in bulk as a restaurant.

This is the kind of channel i was looking for. Those little individual cut on the super market shelf drive me nuts. Besides i want to try making things, like biltong, jerky, dry cured, etc.

Wow, how lucky to have such a store near you! I only have a Costco and Sam’s. Not a Costco Business Center either. Love seeing all the shelving of various spices.

Wow, very impressive, but the closest one to me is 4 states away. They need to expand, especially since they have many commercial US Foods distribution centers near me.

For my fellow Canadians, I haven't found a place as good as in this video but the Wholesale Club comes close.

I LOVE your videos, and I also shop at US Chefstore! PLEASE do a video on flap meat - there is just so much going on when I cut open the big plastic bag!

For the Montreal steak seasoning, just compare the ingredients , grab the missing and the cheaper version and mix in your own. plus you have extra of the original missing , you can add to taste or assume the amount and mix it in the larger container.

I go there every other week. Love it.

This is where I shop. Going there tomorrow.

Used to have Teres Major at my old job, we would get it from Chef Store. You trimming it def gave me some flashbacks lol. It is a great cut though, I gotta go grab a bag of it now

I like the store also. By the way, if you make bone broth, they have the biggest turkey necks in bulk I have ever seen. I didn’t know turkeys got so big :-) I feed my dogs and cats are all diet so sometimes I go there to get meat.

Love going there. They have one im SF.. Great cuts and massive portions.. I like the sliced meats for steak sandwiches

Wholesale Club is a worthy recommendation for people in Canada looking for something similar to what The Chef's Store offers. It's not quite the same, and sadly... it's operated by Loblaws. But the selection is pretty nice for folk who need more than just what the usual supermarket provides. And they don't charge for a membership like Costco... last I used them at least. But that was a couple years ago almost now.

I love my Chef store...I buy 90% of my meat from them, I love the Tri-Tip cut of meat, it's so flavorful...Very good prices and the meat room is glorious

After watching your video, we found a nearby one and checked it out. You were right about everything. Thanks.

This has been my grocery store for 45 yrs. It's been several names over the yrs, but always consistent.

I found mine 8 years ago. Love it.

Some restaurant supply companies have retail outlets that sell goods in institutional quantities. Ours is Shamrock Foods, I used to buy thousands of dollars worth of supplies back when I was a Chef. However, while you can buy primals, it's not the best that can be found locally, we're lucky to have a supplier that sells locally grown meats that are of higher quality (28 day dry age, 14 day wet, grass fed, grain finish Prime) for not much more than retail sells as Choice.

Great, but I'm 200 miles from the nearest Chefs Store

They advertise "Wholsale Prices" and that may be true for some things. Mostly the spice aisle and maybe the frozen foods. But, they are more expensive than the local grocery stores here in the Portland, OR area for just about everything else. I bought Hormel brand baby back pork ribs this week at WinCo for $2.58/lb. Chef'Store wanted $3.09/lb for Canadian pork. When it was Cash 'n Carry, they were a great deal. Since the pandemic, prices have doubled on a lot of items. I only go there for Coffee Syrup and certain spices these days.

I sure wish there were one of these stores near me. Oh well.

My local chef store used to have nice slabs of pork belly at good prices. Their meat room used to look like what you showed, but they have cut way back and don't have as many options anymore. Wish they would bring the pork belly back.

Costco near Milwaukee tonight had basically nothing in large packs for me to break down. Their rib roasts were same price as cut boneless ribeyes. Costco's options have really been less and less for us in the past year or two. The only beef options were whole brisket and tenderloin.

Our chef store has had many names. Been shopping there for almost 30 years.

Great prices on most items, I did notice that some are cheaper at Costco businesses centers. Ground beef is one of them.

Great honest business model 😊

Costco Business center has a meat room. I dare say it’s larger, but more industrial looking. I wouldn’t expect to find your Ter-major there though. 😂. Another great video as usual. Looking out for a Chefstore.

Love this place. I bought a whole NY Strip roast, 6.99 a pound. Most tender NY strip I've ever had.

I shop all the time at Chef Store, but never tried this cut. I will definitely get it next time!

They are only located in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Any ideas for those of us that are in other states?

The nearest Chefs store to me is a 6hour drive.

When I retire to your area, I will be visiting this store. Try J.O. Steak seasoning, really good or Blackstone's SPG seasoning. Well done, Chef.

Thank you Sir. I just found one North of Dallas. I will be headed there soon.

The Monarch spices are phenomenal. The Monarch Kosher Salt is the best kosher Salt I've found. It beets Diamond and Mortin by miles....if your local store h as it. I had to buy a case. Glad I did. Went back a few months later and they didn't have it

Thanks for sharing good sir !

Great video as always. Unfortunately it was a big tease, as there are no stores even remotely near my location.

Costco Business Centers have 10 lb Beef Chuck 80/20 chubs. Last wee they were $3.69/lb

Just wish they had as many locations in Texas as they do in California. I live in Houston, and the only store they have in Texas is in Dallas.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Went to my local Chef's Store - got the package of Teres Major (10 nice pieces), but no Chuck Short Ribs. Asked a clerk - they had no idea what I was talking about. :(

I use our local Chef Store as well. Too bad we don't carry Prime. Also our store is usually out of products when I go. Hard to plan a meal.

There's a place similar, here in Orange County, CA. It's called "Wild forks".

If you are cooking for a crowd ... great place.

thanks chef store opening here this month..very excited to go...

Closest one to me...I'm on the East coast...is 600 miles.

man wish i had one of these places in my area. live in middle ga

Wish they had this in Florida 🙃

I have a chef store 11.7 miles from my house gonna go check it out

I have checked and you have to have a restaurant business certificate.

Love your videos, I have learned a lot. Looking for instruction on shoulder clod and heart of clod. I understand these are cuts that produce flat iron steaks, and boneless short ribs, two of my favorite cuts. I see them available at the chef's store. Future video? Thanks

Wish there was an equivalent of this in Canada.

Looks like Gordon's(GFS) stores here in the Midwest. This place probably even carry Tyson chicken nugget fritters, that are the same ones McDonald's sell.

We found this store in St. George Utah the other day. I need to find one here close to my house in Salt Lake.

Thanks for your video and information. No store in Mississippi that I know of. Went to web site. I can’t tell if they ship or have other ways to buy out of their areas. Thanks again

This place is great but for specific cuts or when Ribeye is on sale. Prices for almost anything else are always higher as you are paying premium for large quantities.

We have a similar place called Shamrock Foods Warehouse and another called Restaurant Depot. Restaurant Depot is membership required though.

I shop there all the time! Great Vid!

Closest one to me is 95 miles, sadly.

I'm jealous! I have Chef'Store near me (in western Washington state), but they don't have some of the cuts you showed, like chuck short rib or prime brisket. 😢

Wowza sure wish they were here in Maine. Best price I can get here on a chuck roll is 5.68

What is your recommendation of the easiest knife sharpening tool/method if we purchase your knives?

Great video, I have never seen Teresa Major at my Chef store in Tumwater Washington. I will have to ask next time I am there. Also interested in those chuck ribs, never seen them either.

What thickness do you recommend cutting that steak at the end of your video? You cut it into 1/8th inch slices or less it seems, if not 1/16th inch.

One more thought, Not all of the Chefs store's are created equal when it comes to the meat departments. For instance, the one in sacramento has a meat department that is twice the size of the one in Yuba city.

Always good info here

The only problem is Chefs Store routinely has non-graded beef, so watch for an actual USDA grade emblem on package.

hmm I was told by cs that both LV locations are not opened to the public??

You heard me thru the computer. When you say sams club or costco I yell chefs store.

Think of it as an older “Costco Lite” but no membership.

Closest one to me is over 600 miles away.

The US Chiefs Store near me didn’t have a large selection of spices. the last time I was in there their prices were still high, I would like to know where this store is in this video.

It's also affiliated with Smart & Final.

I want to go to Wild Fork so bad

The only bad part is the chef store sells lower quality choice meat.

Restaurant Depot has a much bigger selection normally and much cheaper

Too bad there isn't one of these near me. (Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin)

I've been going there occasionally for 30+yrs. Never really found a good deal, maybe on fresh produce & cream cheese. Meat didn't look good & prices high, though that might've been the total not price per lb. I'll have to look again. Oh man, that spice aisle. No, ours has like 10 max, sad. I'm a spice fanatic.

The local Costco Business Center only sends to have select beef no choice or prime. What’s others experience using select?

Have you tried the star ranch ribeye

Zero locations in S. Florida. However, next best is Gordon’s Foods and we have local wholesale meat distributors that have made exact retail sections available to the public like US Foods. And luckily if you have a business others shop at Restaurant Depot.

Dang.. 3 hours away from my location

Go figure. US Foods has a distribution center like 3 mins from my house but no Chef store.

Damn, they ain't in my state. Going to have to look around for something similar here that is better than Costco or sams.
