The Whole Brisket consists of two parts — the point, and flat, and almost everybody has a favorite. The flat is the more lean of the two parts (but it’s still brisket, so don’t expect a lean cut), and is extra dense. Thanks to the lifestyle of our animals, and the location of this cut on the animal, the brisket is one of the most intensely beefy cuts you’ll find. If you’re not sure whether you want to tackle a Whole Brisket but want to sample both the flat and point, check out our Half Brisket.
