  1. Understood on the grain finished beef. It is definitely cheaper and does taste better for sure. However, there's absolutely no way the meat from a cow that's been fed all sorts of garbage (GMO soy/corn, candy, chicken litter…etc.) and raised in deplorable conditions (CAFO) is as healthy as the meat from a grass raised and finished animal. You could never convince me otherwise.

  2. Rib eye steaks are cut from ribs number 12 to 6. The chuck eye steaks are against the last rib eye steaks, cut from the 5th rib. That’s 3” to 3 1/3 inches for 2-3 chuck eye steaks per cow, 9+ rib eye steaks. Again, the firs chuck eye steak is cut away from the last rib eye. They are virtually identical.

  3. Short ribs are super expensive in my area. A pack is about $35 for maybe 4 ribs i can get more bang for the buck on chuck. I wish I could get short ribs at her price

  4. If you spent less on Carnivore Bars (between US$13.50 & US$17 depending on quantity 😳) then you would have more money for rib eye! .. Those bars seem ridiculously priced…

  5. In the Midwest, Chicken wings are usually more expensive than Chicken thighs and Drum sticks (legs). I figure it's the Buffalo Wild Wings effect. Every bar and pub has chicken wing specials every day and I just attribute that to the inflated prices. I've found drumsticks for as low as 1.50 a pound and thighs in the 2.50 range. They cook almost exactly like wings. Have plenty of fat so they are hard to dry out (particularly thighs). Sometimes you find them as quarters (which is just the leg and thigh together). I prefer them to wings most times because they have more meat and are more versatile. You can de-bone thighs and put them in a broth or cut them into chunks to make chicken nuggets. The bones are great for making stock too.

  6. If you want cheap meat get chicken gizzards and hearts under $2/lb. Just make sure to peel off any green tissue on gizzards and pressure steam them in pressure cooker or multi cooker making sure to elevate meat out of water. Cook 20 to 30 minutes making sure not to boil water dry. They will be fall apart in your mouth tender and tasty. I like to put mine over mashed potatoes and cover with beef and onion gravy topping with French's fried onion rings in a casserole pan just heating to warm and bubbly. You can also make gravy combining cream of mushroom soup with Lipton's beefy onion soup and dip mix adding milk to desired consistency.

  7. When I started carnivore, my price ceiling was $3.99/pound. I could catch a good steak sale about once a month and stock up. Nowadays, ground beef is usually $5.99/pound, and a good steak sale is around $9/pound. I gotta move out of the city…..

  8. I can't eat straight butter, but i put it in everything. You ever blend it into coffee? It's marvelous! Drinking bone broth with butter mixed in is so good.

  9. Firstly, short ribs slow cooked in Chianti (or any red wine) with crushed black pepper is world-class eats.
    Secondly, Whole Chicken!! Learn to butcher it yourself, make stock, and have a weeks worth of meat for cheap. Learn how to do this from some of the chefs on this platform, Jean Pierre is a good place to start, but cooking chicken is a core carnivore skill. There are many other teachers but YT gets mad if I name names There is a DUDE that can COOK. THAT one has a great technique for butter basting chicken breast that is out of this world. There is so much that you can accomplish with a few techniques if you learn how to play with your food.
