A regular at my shop in Tacoma told me my ribeyes were cut too thin for the price, so I switched to a full 1.5 inch thickness and sales jumped 20% in a week.
Has anyone else found that a slightly thicker cut actually moves faster, or is that just a local preference thing?
Oh for sure, it's not just you. A thick cut just feels like a real steak, you know? It looks way better on the grill and doesn't dry out as easy. I mean, if I'm paying that much, I want something I can actually sink my teeth into. Thinner cuts always seem like a bit of a letdown.
Wait, you're paying that much for steak? No way. That's crazy. I get mine from the butcher down the street for half the price. Thick cut too. You gotta shop around, man.
My buddy bought some thin steaks last week and they just fell apart on the grill. He ended up with more charcoal than dinner. It really does make a difference.
My uncle tried to grill these super thin flank steaks at a family cookout last summer. They cooked in like 90 seconds and turned into leathery little strips. Everyone just quietly ate their hot dogs instead. It kinda ruined the whole vibe for him.
