St. Louis Ribs & Brisket Deals: Why Leaner Ground Beef Is Worth It
On this episode of Meat & Greet on KBUN Sports Radio, Myke Stittsworth breaks down what makes St. Louis-style ribs one of the best values at the butcher counter right now — and why smart shoppers are picking them up alongside brisket for weekend cookouts.
Myke also digs into the real value of leaner ground beef. While 80/20 gets a lot of love for burgers, there are plenty of everyday meals — tacos, chili, pasta sauces — where a leaner grind gives you more usable meat per pound and less grease in the pan. It's about picking the right tool for the job.
