Re: Flannery PORK ribcap roast: cooking tips/recommendations?
I use 1:1 salt, pepper, chili powder, granulated garlic and .5 max oregano (same thing I use for tri-tip). Would probably go well with a shot of bourbon-barrel aged smoked paprika in there, too.

In normal operation they were (very expensive) prix fixe ONLY and it included wine pairing. So they rarely sold wine by the bottle.

Rib-eye I grilled is five or six posts up; if your NY was more marbled than that, I genuinely don’t know what to say 
Edit after you added a pic - that NY is crazy! But yeah, my ribeye was even more over the top. Takeaway, imho, is that we got a great deal.

Re: Flannery's 130 day dry aged steak--how is this going down?
Funk coming out of the vac pack was rough, but mellowed out after a few minutes. I thought the flavor was great, and I only dropped a layer of salt on it. That said... texture was strange for me. Felt a bit spongy to me, which was not in my wheelhouse.
Hangers last night were spectacular though!

It's readily available in Cali. Tastes disgusting (my friends call it jet fuel). Besides the status symbol, there's really no allure. The silver label, Moutai Pure Joy, is shockingly good though.
