Steven AlmasI had a similar experience at an upscale grocery store a few weeks back, I was looking at the meat counter and they had some nice looking dry aged, prime rib eyes. The attendant asked me if I had any questions and I asked them how long the steaks had been aged, he puffed out his chest and said 21 days and then asked if I wanted some, I said no thanks since I still had a half dozen 40 day rib eyes in my freezer. He then said, “Forty Days? No one locally ages that long”. I then said, “No grocer does, but I do, and in fact I have another primal sitting at about 28 days as we speak”. He didn’t scoff, but was impressed by the whole drybag system and that I cared enough about good beef to take the time to do it myself. It was a good conversation all-around.
