This week on the award-winning Grab’em in the Brisket BBQ Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into the one thing every pitmaster, backyard warrior, and steak lover is talking about… BEEF PRICES! 🥩💸

Why does brisket suddenly feel like a luxury item? Are ribeyes becoming special occasion meals? Is this just temporary… or the new normal for BBQ lovers everywhere?

We break down what’s driving the skyrocketing cost of beef, how it’s impacting restaurants, competitions, and backyard cooks, plus tips on how to still cook great BBQ without taking out a second mortgage. From brisket economics to butcher shop sticker shock, nothing is off the table.

We’ll also talk favorite budget cuts, smart shopping strategies, and whether chicken and pork are officially stealing the spotlight in 2026.

Join Jon, James, and Jan for a fun, honest, and probably slightly painful conversation about the state of beef in America.
