What is in the case

About Angus beef brisket
Brisket is a whole-muscle primal bought two ways in New York: by the full case for barbecue and pastrami programs, and in smaller average-weight pieces for delis and kitchens that cook to order. Angus here is a branded program specification sitting on top of the cut, not a USDA grade, so an Angus brisket and a commodity brisket are different purchases even when the two quotes look close. Brisket is also a cut where yield after trim and after the cook, rather than the price per pound at the door, decides what a portion actually costs.
Buying notes
The supplier carries both a full case and a smaller average-weight format, so kitchens that cannot break a whole case still have a way in. Since this is priced by the pound and brisket loses substantial weight in trim and in the cook, read the quote against finished yield rather than against other cuts.
