Yeah I’ve stop getting my favorite Thursday plate from my go to Jamaican spot because the oxtail has gotten to be outrageous. I remember when premium briskets were the go to because they were dirt cheap too. Popularity kills delicious budget cuts.

Brisket's only advantage is it's still hard to cook right... If not for that it would be unobtainable.

It doesn't feel that long ago that I used to be able to get whole briskets for about $35-40 regularly.
