Before beef ends up at your favorite steakhouse, it passes through the hands of a trained specialist with an encyclopedic knowledge of bovine anatomy. Zachary Crockett chews the fat.

ABOUT THE ECONOMICS OF EVERYDAY THINGS:
Zachary Crockett uncovers the hidden side of the things that surround us. Who decides what snacks are in your office’s vending machine? How much is a 100-year-old elm tree on a suburban block worth — and to whom? And what makes Girl Scout Cookies a billion-dollar business?

I listen to you guys on amazon music while driving, great show! Your ending, from 18:00 on, is just fantastic. Hats off to Katy and her dad, mad respect.

I went to college for Foodservice Management and went on a field trip to a slaughter house. We got to see everything. The thing that affected me the most was how they removed the hide from the carcass. After the head is removed, metal cuffs clamp around the cows legs and it is hoisted into the air. Another machine hooks into the pelt and it is peeled off the body in one big piece. I remember it laying in the floor like a rumpled fur coat. It was really something.

San Rafael is in central California. You have to be north of Reding to be in Northern California. Look up the proposed State of Jefferson

I wish they would have spoke about the "Tomahawk". Taking a Rib eye, and raising the cost as well as adding additional bone at said cost?? Genius.. Consumers aren't very smart
