    LTH,

    We drove out to Caponies on Harlem for a pizza this afternoon, and on the way home, stopped at Caputo's to pick up some fruit and veggies. Strolling past the poultry/meat aisle, I couldn't help but notice whole beef tenderloins priced at $2.99 a pound. Most seemed smaller than 5 lbs, so I'm guessing select.

    :twisted:

    At that price, I'm guessing that they are no-rolls. Check to see if they have a grading stamp.

    Two weeks ago, Brookhaven market in Burr Ridge had tenderloins for either $6.00 or $7.99. Mostly choices but I also saw several primes in their cyrovac casings. Don't know how those slipped in.

    While I haven't seen the store ad for this, my guess it is the beef comng in from Mexico. I bought some several week back and it did have a stronger "game" taste when grilled. That said, I have had other beef from Mexico that did not have the stronger taste and was fine.

    At that price, try it, what can you loose?

    It'd be a lot cooler if you posted this 2 weeks ago. I'm at Brookhaven twice a week and failed to find these bad riders :cry:

    Never thought to post this but by the time you would have read this, they would have been gone! Guess you just had to be there.
