Hi, I hear what people are saying regarding fat in their steaks. Keep in mind that fat is where much of the flavor resides. When buying a good cut of steak (ribeye, strip) I always look for fat marbled through the meat. It all comes down to the cooking- get those grills hot and grill, don't barbeque, those steaks and the fat will melt and turn into flavor! And for thicker cuts- bring them up to room temp before putting them on the grill.

I do agree that if it is edge fat, that should be trimmed and the consumer should not be paying 9, 10 or more $ a pound for that- that is just a lazy butcher.

I almost stopped at the WB on Sunday but ran out of time- looking forward to another option
