Sounds like I might have to make a friend in the restaurant industry.
Or you can join KCBS for $35 a year and you get a day pass to restaurant depot. It can be used as many times as you want. The difference is since you don't have a license you have to pay sales tax.
Is KCBS the Kansas City BBQ Society?
I actually have a friend who lends me her membership card. So, I have access to Restaurant Depot. I'm not sure they carry prime brisket around here and their prices only get really good if you buy in LARGE quantities.
