Best Quality is definitely Jerusalem Glatt, or NPGS Jackson.

When u say “a brisket” I’m assuming u asking about the whole thing also knows as “a packer”. Gourmet glatt definitely best option always in stock and always 7.99 lb. just ask for solomans don’t let them give u the Canadian stuff they say it’s just as good but I smoked both doesn’t compare.

No, I just mean the meat people make for Shabbos. Is Gourmet Glatt good for that? It’s on sale there this week for $12.49/lb.

If u want to the convenience of one order or one place, it won’t be as good.
Personal recommendations off the top of my head
Mikes chicken
Sushi from that sushi spot or sushi nation
Glatt gourmet or Yapchik for the mains and sides
Cholent from Bun or evergreen
Shuk strawberry short cake

So basically someone who wasn't planning on having chicken nuggets, sushi, or strawberry shortcake can just go to GG or Yapchik other than maybe cholent
