- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, I will tour the Chef’s Store. The Chef’s store is a restaurant supply store that is open to the public and has big cuts of meat you can cut at home. In my opinion, it is the best place get subprimal cuts of meat. I will also show you my favorite hard to find cut that I can only find at the Chef’s Store.

So this video was not about the chef's store, it was about selling your damn knife..
@@gnikmi Yes go to US Foods get same thing $12.99
30 seconds in are you cooking on non stick cookware?
I got a 25 lb. prime rib sub primal at the Chef's store for half price once when I was just browsing the meat room with no intention of purchasing anything ; employee there told me his supplier had delivered too many prime ribs, so he put them on sale well before their expiration date; made some delicious cap steaks and rib eyes for the price per pound of chuck the supermarket charges!
Just when I thought I couldn't gasm anymore, you showed us the spice aisle. And you didn't treat it as an afterthought. Absolute respect!
They have HUGE jars of chipotle powder (just the smoked, ground chiles, nothing else) at a very reasonable price.
Shoulder clods are great for chopped beef sandwiches for a large crowd
Our local restaurant supply stores are well stocked, but their prices are very high. If I'm going to pay those high prices, I just go directly to a local butcher.
Not everyone has that option, sadly. Where I live butchers won't sell the BBQ cuts because they sell them directly to restaurants or cook it themselves for a profit.
Here the butcher will be couple of times more expensive.
@@Amocoru At least you have a butcher. I have Walmart.
What? The beef prices are several dollars less a pound.
@@september29ification Not where I live. The quality at the local butcher is also higher as he purchases local cattle from small farms.
My employer.
I mechanic in the fleet shop.
We don't have a Chef's store in Centennial. But, we have over stock discounts available.
Best employer I've ever had.
I discovered US Foods Chef Store because of your earlier Teres Major video .... now I shop here all the time - thank you
Chef Store is great!
In my city there’s a Chef Store and a Costco Business center that does bulk slabs. Those are my go to places for meat. A 16Lb slab of Rib Eye for $83 was my last purchase from Costco.
That was the best ad lib sound effect to cover for a mic fail.
Yeah, if this butchering stuff doesn't work out, he has a career as a foley artist.
This store has saved me in NC. We had no place to buy brisket or skin on pork belly. Now I can get choice briskets for $60 and prime for just under $100. It has been a life saver for me.
If your military the commissary on post has the best meat at decent prices.
I have never heard of this store before and thought this place looked pretty cool on your video. I was thinking man that would be a great place to buy bulk meat but there probably isn't one in my city. I look it up and there is one 4 miles from my house! Ive probably driven past it 1,000 times and didn't know. This place owes you a royalty.
Checked it out but I found Costco business center has a better price and better portions, like instead of only 17lb roast you can get also the 10lb version (also it has a meat room aswell)
If you have that facility in your city.
I wish we had something like that where i live.
Same tbh
Look if you have a Gordon's food service store in the area
@@drjekelmrhyde thanks I'll definitely check it out.
This beef comes from outside the US I was told. I’d rather buy local and know how the animal was raised. Cheap is not always a good thing.
You were told wrong. Try reading the labels.
@@lazygardensyou don’t understand, it’s a *CONSPIRACY*
@@lazygardens no he wasnt told wrong, many of the major big name producers source from outside the USA. IBF and Swift being two of them.
@@RussellRW Brand new regulation ... USDA's final “Product of USA” rule allows the voluntary “Product of USA” or “Made in the USA” label claim to be used on meat, poultry and egg products only when they are derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the United States."
www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2024/03/11/usda-finalizes-voluntary-product-usa-label-claim-enhance-consumer
That doesn't mean it's bad meat, plenty of other countries have better quality meat than the US. @@RussellRW
We have nothing like that here so it’s another reason we started raising our own Black Angus calves. We just could not get quality meat regardless of price. So we corn/grass feed on 50 acres & our last 10 month old calf dressed out (HCW), at 475lbs & ran $3.85/lb after the butchering. Our chuck steaks are so tender we just BBQ them. Our ground beef is so lean the wife mixes in ground bacon for the hamburgers. We also raise pigs, but we like them @ about 200lbs.
Great vids, thanks! Please don't poison yourself using a Teflon/non-stick pan on high heat! Use a stainless steel pan or iron skillet.
Been trying to find a place that sells pork belly here on the west coast after we moved. Thanks for making me aware of this store.
Wow, very impressive, but the closest one to me is 4 states away. They need to expand, especially since they have many commercial US Foods distribution centers near me.
I used to work at US Foods for a three years (here in Idaho it was called Cash and Carry back then) and can attest that the meat section is amazing and you can find great deals. I still go there for meats and my parents shop there for their restaurant. The store is aimed at restaurants so everything is the best price at bulk. They also have a great frozen section inside the freezers. They are great for bulk spices, sauces (chipotle, mayo, ketchup, soy sauce, etc.) as well as flour, potato's, onions, pretty much anything you'd want in bulk as a restaurant.
Wow, how lucky to have such a store near you! I only have a Costco and Sam’s. Not a Costco Business Center either. Love seeing all the shelving of various spices.
This is the kind of channel i was looking for. Those little individual cut on the super market shelf drive me nuts. Besides i want to try making things, like biltong, jerky, dry cured, etc.
For my fellow Canadians, I haven't found a place as good as in this video but the Wholesale Club comes close.
I second this comment.
Thank you very much for that tip. There is a Wholesale Club store the next town over from me. I will have to check it out.
For the Montreal steak seasoning, just compare the ingredients , grab the missing and the cheaper version and mix in your own. plus you have extra of the original missing , you can add to taste or assume the amount and mix it in the larger container.
This is where I shop. Going there tomorrow.
Used to have Teres Major at my old job, we would get it from Chef Store. You trimming it def gave me some flashbacks lol. It is a great cut though, I gotta go grab a bag of it now
I like the store also. By the way, if you make bone broth, they have the biggest turkey necks in bulk I have ever seen. I didn’t know turkeys got so big :-) I feed my dogs and cats are all diet so sometimes I go there to get meat.
Turkey tails, too! Great dog food!
I go there every other week. Love it.
Wholesale Club is a worthy recommendation for people in Canada looking for something similar to what The Chef's Store offers. It's not quite the same, and sadly... it's operated by Loblaws. But the selection is pretty nice for folk who need more than just what the usual supermarket provides.
And they don't charge for a membership like Costco... last I used them at least. But that was a couple years ago almost now.
Some restaurant supply companies have retail outlets that sell goods in institutional quantities. Ours is Shamrock Foods, I used to buy thousands of dollars worth of supplies back when I was a Chef. However, while you can buy primals, it's not the best that can be found locally, we're lucky to have a supplier that sells locally grown meats that are of higher quality (28 day dry age, 14 day wet, grass fed, grain finish Prime) for not much more than retail sells as Choice.
I LOVE your videos, and I also shop at US Chefstore! PLEASE do a video on flap meat - there is just so much going on when I cut open the big plastic bag!
I love my Chef store...I buy 90% of my meat from them, I love the Tri-Tip cut of meat, it's so flavorful...Very good prices and the meat room is glorious
My local chef store used to have nice slabs of pork belly at good prices. Their meat room used to look like what you showed, but they have cut way back and don't have as many options anymore. Wish they would bring the pork belly back.
They advertise "Wholsale Prices" and that may be true for some things. Mostly the spice aisle and maybe the frozen foods. But, they are more expensive than the local grocery stores here in the Portland, OR area for just about everything else. I bought Hormel brand baby back pork ribs this week at WinCo for $2.58/lb. Chef'Store wanted $3.09/lb for Canadian pork. When it was Cash 'n Carry, they were a great deal. Since the pandemic, prices have doubled on a lot of items. I only go there for Coffee Syrup and certain spices these days.
Great honest business model 😊
Great prices on most items, I did notice that some are cheaper at Costco businesses centers. Ground beef is one of them.
Costco near Milwaukee tonight had basically nothing in large packs for me to break down. Their rib roasts were same price as cut boneless ribeyes. Costco's options have really been less and less for us in the past year or two. The only beef options were whole brisket and tenderloin.
I sure wish there were one of these stores near me. Oh well.
After watching your video, we found a nearby one and checked it out. You were right about everything. Thanks.
Love going there. They have one im SF.. Great cuts and massive portions.. I like the sliced meats for steak sandwiches
This has been my grocery store for 45 yrs. It's been several names over the yrs, but always consistent.
I found mine 8 years ago. Love it.
Costco Business center has a meat room. I dare say it’s larger, but more industrial looking. I wouldn’t expect to find your Ter-major there though. 😂.
Another great video as usual. Looking out for a Chefstore.
Our chef store has had many names. Been shopping there for almost 30 years.
Great, but I'm 200 miles from the nearest Chefs Store
Road trip time.
They are only located in Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. Any ideas for those of us that are in other states?
Love this place. I bought a whole NY Strip roast, 6.99 a pound. Most tender NY strip I've ever had.
I shop all the time at Chef Store, but never tried this cut. I will definitely get it next time!
When I retire to your area, I will be visiting this store. Try J.O. Steak seasoning, really good or Blackstone's SPG seasoning. Well done, Chef.
Great video as always. Unfortunately it was a big tease, as there are no stores even remotely near my location.
The Monarch spices are phenomenal. The Monarch Kosher Salt is the best kosher Salt I've found. It beets Diamond and Mortin by miles....if your local store h as it. I had to buy a case. Glad I did. Went back a few months later and they didn't have it
Just wish they had as many locations in Texas as they do in California. I live in Houston, and the only store they have in Texas is in Dallas.
Costco Business Centers have 10 lb Beef Chuck 80/20 chubs. Last wee they were $3.69/lb
Thanks for sharing good sir !
The nearest Chefs store to me is a 6hour drive.
Metoo, in farmers branch Texas. I was there visiting family. It was ok. Not worth bringing an ice chest and packing it home
I use our local Chef Store as well. Too bad we don't carry Prime. Also our store is usually out of products when I go. Hard to plan a meal.
Thank you Sir. I just found one North of Dallas. I will be headed there soon.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Went to my local Chef's Store - got the package of Teres Major (10 nice pieces), but no Chuck Short Ribs. Asked a clerk - they had no idea what I was talking about. :(
Wish they had this in Florida 🙃
Looks like Gordon's(GFS) stores here in the Midwest. This place probably even carry Tyson chicken nugget fritters, that are the same ones McDonald's sell.
There's a place similar, here in Orange County, CA. It's called "Wild forks".
We found this store in St. George Utah the other day. I need to find one here close to my house in Salt Lake.
If you are cooking for a crowd ... great place.
Love your videos, I have learned a lot. Looking for instruction on shoulder clod and heart of clod. I understand these are cuts that produce flat iron steaks, and boneless short ribs, two of my favorite cuts. I see them available at the chef's store. Future video? Thanks
This place is great but for specific cuts or when Ribeye is on sale. Prices for almost anything else are always higher as you are paying premium for large quantities.
thanks chef store opening here this month..very excited to go...
Wish there was an equivalent of this in Canada.
We have a similar place called Shamrock Foods Warehouse and another called Restaurant Depot. Restaurant Depot is membership required though.
Great video, I have never seen Teresa Major at my Chef store in Tumwater Washington. I will have to ask next time I am there. Also interested in those chuck ribs, never seen them either.
I shop there all the time! Great Vid!
Thanks for your video and information. No store in Mississippi that I know of. Went to web site. I can’t tell if they ship or have other ways to buy out of their areas. Thanks again
Closest one to me...I'm on the East coast...is 600 miles.
New ones opening all the time.
Better get some dry ice
man wish i had one of these places in my area. live in middle ga
The only problem is Chefs Store routinely has non-graded beef, so watch for an actual USDA grade emblem on package.
I have checked and you have to have a restaurant business certificate.
One more thought, Not all of the Chefs store's are created equal when it comes to the meat departments. For instance, the one in sacramento has a meat department that is twice the size of the one in Yuba city.
Wowza sure wish they were here in Maine. Best price I can get here on a chuck roll is 5.68
It's also affiliated with Smart & Final.
What is your recommendation of the easiest knife sharpening tool/method if we purchase your knives?
I'm jealous! I have Chef'Store near me (in western Washington state), but they don't have some of the cuts you showed, like chuck short rib or prime brisket. 😢
You can use their website and order if they are not carrying what you want in stock.
@@richardinpdx, as long as I have my location set to my local stores, those products won't even show up in a website search.
Same, like exact exact same, which chef store did you go to?
@@chalabread, I go to Kent or Tukwila (Southcenter); however, I checked the website for other local locations and I didn't find those cuts at those either. 😢
Closest one to me is 95 miles, sadly.
I have a chef store 11.7 miles from my house gonna go check it out
You're blessed. 3.5hrs for me. Sucks, cause there is a distribution center only 20mnins from me not a store. Makes no sense.
Always good info here
The US Chiefs Store near me didn’t have a large selection of spices. the last time I was in there their prices were still high, I would like to know where this store is in this video.
hmm I was told by cs that both LV locations are not opened to the public??
Restaurant Depot has a much bigger selection normally and much cheaper
Think of it as an older “Costco Lite” but no membership.
I want to go to Wild Fork so bad
I've been going there occasionally for 30+yrs. Never really found a good deal, maybe on fresh produce & cream cheese. Meat didn't look good & prices high, though that might've been the total not price per lb. I'll have to look again. Oh man, that spice aisle. No, ours has like 10 max, sad. I'm a spice fanatic.
Zero locations in S. Florida. However, next best is Gordon’s Foods and we have local wholesale meat distributors that have made exact retail sections available to the public like US Foods. And luckily if you have a business others shop at Restaurant Depot.
Closest one to me is over 600 miles away.
You heard me thru the computer. When you say sams club or costco I yell chefs store.
What thickness do you recommend cutting that steak at the end of your video? You cut it into 1/8th inch slices or less it seems, if not 1/16th inch.
The local Costco Business Center only sends to have select beef no choice or prime. What’s others experience using select?
Too bad there isn't one of these near me. (Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin)
The only bad part is the chef store sells lower quality choice meat.
Damn, they ain't in my state. Going to have to look around for something similar here that is better than Costco or sams.
rib eye and ny strip.. costco is cheaper than restaurant depot
Go figure. US Foods has a distribution center like 3 mins from my house but no Chef store.
Lucky....our restraunt supply place is members only and you have to have a business license....
