My costco has 4 heavy duty coffee grinders for grinding whole bean coffee after purchase.

So not my proudest coffee snob moment, but I picked up a nespresso machine there for 25 bucks (this one, not on Costco website https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sur-La-Ta...RoCaRQQAvD_BwE)

It’s not the greatest espresso, but it’s surprisingly decent and the convenience of it is fantastic.

So if it's after purchase it must be near the deli and tire store? Thanks.

as the resident coffee snob around these parts i can categorically tell you that is not true.

there's no accounting for taste though

Filets.

Always the answer. The only reason I go to Costco.

**k2skier112** · 06-13-2023, 10:10 AM

Prime top sirloin

My personal opinion is that filets are vastly overrated. I’ll take a ribeye over filet every time.

Or a NY strip. Heck - I'll even take the sirloin or tri tip steaks over a filet.

Doesn’t seem like you are alone. I can’t remember the last time I saw filet mignon as the spotlight menu item in a restaurant when back in the day it was the go to for nearly every half fancy foodie joint

GF has scored some good sirloins and flanks, I think strips and ribeyes also, in addition to filets over there. The flank is great for fajitas.

Skirt > flank.

(I have strong steak opinions.)

Pick a cut and be a dick about it?

**Elkhound Odin** · 06-13-2023, 11:32 AM

Costco is my go to for wild Salmon fillet. It'd be nice if they sold whole salmon when the fresh stuff arrives later in the summer.

I mean, sure, the best fajitas I’ve had are from skirt. It’s more of a hassle to nail it at home, for me at least, and not quite as good rare. Flank you can marinate quickly; restaurants use some pretty fancy equipment to get skirt just right. I think flank, for me at least, is close enough while being easier to get tender.

I’ll usually sear it like this and put about half of the slices into the pan with the onions and peppers to cook just a tad more.

Well I’m not saying I wouldn’t eat that, cause I definitely would.

I swear, it’s like some of y’all don’t know teh Google exists:

Baseball steak is a center cut of beef taken from the top sirloin cap steak. Baseball steaks differ from sirloin steaks in that the bone and the tenderloin and bottom round muscles have been removed; and the cut is taken from biceps femoris.^[1]^[2] A baseball steak is essentially a center cut top sirloin cap steak. This cut of beef is very lean, and is considered very flavorful.^[3]^[4]^[5]
