Huntspoint.com also provided Barbecue AmericaMagazine with several other cuts of imported and domestic meats that will be highlighted in subsequent issues of the magazine.

During a January 2014 photo shoot in Pennsylvania, Barbecue America Magazine worked with Huntspoint.com to provide unique and customized cuts of meat including Wagyu beef brisket, Wagyu steaks, Japanese ground beef, Hatfield St. Louis-cut ribs, Berkshire St. Louis ribs, Berkshire pork butt, Angus Tomahawk ribeye steaks, Compart Duroc pork butts, Compart Duroc St. Louis ribs and Compart Duroc baby back ribs. These cuts, grilled, smoked, and seared, will be included across the first seven issues of the magazine.

“I’ve been all over the world looking for the best meat and Huntspoint.com is truly a one-stop shop for high-quality, competition grade meats,” said Rick Browne, editor-in-chief of Barbecue America Magazine. “We turned to Huntspoint.com to provide us with AMAZING, unique cuts of meat that would help us build recognition for our magazine. As you’ll see in the upcoming issues, they didn’t disappoint.”

Grill like a World Champion—grill with Hunts Point. In 2013 Huntspoint.com started its program of supporting barbecue by sponsoring competitive teams across the country. This commitment has paid off as several of its sponsored teams notched wins at regional and national contests. Huntspoint.com has also started strong for the 2014 season, with teams supplied by Huntspoint winning two Reserve Grand Championships and a state championship in April, and a number of top-5 category placings at competitions in New York, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

“When we first heard about the plans for Barbecue America Magazine, we were excited—as barbecuers, not as businesspeople—that the barbecue world was going to get its own magazine,” said Lovely Love, CEO of Huntspoint.com. “And of course, getting on the cover is a huge honor. We got into this business because we love barbecuing and wanted to connect people like us to the best meat available. We really appreciate the recognition, especially coming from people who love the barbecue world as much as we do.”

Hunts Point Teams Celebrate Strong Start to BBQ Season

Grand Reserve Championship, Category Win in NYC; Other Wins in Eastern U.S. Comps

(May 14, 2014, Staten Island, New York)—Hunts Point-supplied teams roared out of the starting gate with a strong showing gate at the New York City BBQ Cookoff, a Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned event held April 11-12 on Staten Island in Historic Richmond Town. Honors included the Grand Reserve Championship (2nd overall), as well as #1 and #3 in Pork Ribs, #2 in Pork Butt, and 4 of the top 5 places in Brisket. Also in April, Hunts Point meat helped the Smokin’ Skullies team win the Grand Championship and #3 Brisket at the BBQ Capital Cookoff in Lexington, North Carolina; other teams took top Brisket honors at the Iron Man BBQ in Pennsylvania and the Georgia State Championship. May has started off  with big wins for BBQ teams using Huntspoint Meat Company BBQ meats. 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place brisket wins at various BBQ sanctioned events competitions this past weekend.  

“The quality of the meat I used from Hunts Point for my competition in Staten Island was phenomenal, almost as good as the service provided by Johnny Love himself,” said Doug Keiles, pitmaster of the Ribs Within BBQ Team, based in Hillsborough, NJ, which won the Grand Reserve Championship as well as #2 in Pork Butt and #5 in Brisket. Keiles also credits Ribs Within Rubs, created by the team and available through Hunts Point Meat Company at http://www.huntspoint.com, which also helped Ribs Within to the Bacon World Championship title last fall in Las Vegas.

“The use of Hunts Point Meat Company meats and Ribs Within Rubs has helped create success for other teams as well, taking a 1st in Pork Ribs and a 4th in Brisket,” says Keiles. “I look forward to continued success using Huntspoint Meat Company - supplied meats.”

Selecting beef brisket

Submitted by Johnny Love on Sat, 04/05/2014 - 00:00

 

Beef brisket comes in many forms, whole brisket also known as packers, flats and points. A beef brisket consists of a flat also call first cut, and a point also known as the deckle. The beef brisket comes from the pectoral muscles of a beef animal. Beef brisket is a tough cut from beef which is difficult to prepare. It can become corned beef, pastrami or smoked.

I will concentrate on selecting the best brisket for BBQ and smoking. Always look for a brisket which has a thick uniform flat, that is well marbled with fine stirations. The point should also be well marbled and thick. Never take a brisket that has a thin flat, a flat which has one side thick and the other side thin, if you do so when smoking beef brisket the heat will be sucked out of the thin side and the brisket will dry out.     

I hand select all briskets which I select for my clients. My clients include some of the top professional BBQ competition teams in the USA. I operate Huntspoint Meat Company, our website is http://www.huntspoint.com.

The Benefits of Eating Japanese Tajima Kobe Beef

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/29/2014 - 12:00

The  world’s best beef is Japanese Kobe beef with an A5 grade, which means it offers the best marbling, taste and tenderness. But beyond the enjoyment of having Kobe beef as New York Strip Steaks or  Tajima Kobe Beef Wagyu steaks, eating Kobe beef can also improve your health, thanks to the Kobe beef’s very high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, which can help improve your cholesterol levels and improve your heart health.

Eat beef to lower your cholesterol? This is not what most people who struggle to control their cholesterol levels are told by their doctors, the media, and their friends, who are likely to say that red meat intake should be limited, and may be avoided entirely.

The truth is a little more complicated: Red meat that is available in local meat stores contains both mostly Omega 6 fatty acids and some Omega 3 fatty acids, which are both essential to health, but they need to be in balance. In most red meat, they’re not—there’s too much Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3, which leads to higher levels of “bad” cholesterol which is also called LDL. LDL (bad cholesterol) circulates in the blood and slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries which supports the brain and heart. LDL (bad) cholesterol can form a thick deposit narrows the arteries from the inner walls and cause very serious issues for us such as stroke, and Coronary Artery Disease or Coronary Heart Disease also simply called heart disease which is No. 1 killer in the US.

Tajima Japanese Kobe beef on the other hand has the right balance, with more Omega 3 and less Omega 6, a better ratio which lowers your “bad” cholesterol, LDL, increases your “good” cholesterol HDL levels as well as lowers triglyceride levels in the blood and improves your overall heart health, and has been shown to lower blood pressure. Eating Tajima Japanese Wagyu Kobe Beef steaks which has a healthy amount of Omega 3 fatty acids can also help people with diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, skin problems, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and a range of mental health problems including depression, bipolar disorder, and cognitive decline. Studies have also suggested that Omega 3 fatty acids can prevent some kinds of cancer.

What about eating fish, or taking supplements?

It’s true that fish can also be a good source of Omega 3, but high mercury levels in much of the  fish on the market these days can negate the health benefits provided by Omega 3s. Taking supplements can also be effective, but as with many other dietary supplements, it’s better to get the vital nutrients you need in the food you eat, not in a pill. (Many of our customers are doctors, and they’ll tell you the same thing—if you want to be healthy, focus on the food you eat)

World's Highest End Beef

Submitted by Huntspoint.com on Sat, 01/11/2014 - 17:14

The Japanese Wagyu cows are began in Kobe, Hyogo Japan. Kobe is the origination of the most legendary and delightful Japanese Wagyu beef.  The price of this legandary and the most delicious meat starts from well over $150 per pound. What is special about this meat, that makes it so pricey? This is the first question that comes into people's mind. Yes, it is very true that we all have the same question to answer. The reality is over $150 per pound is a very cheap price for real authentic Japanese Kobe Beef. There are several factors that make this meat very pricey.

Japanese Wagyu

 

Authentic Kobe Beef Wagyu Cattle that yields A5 grade marbling beef is extremely limited per year. Unfortunately, it is becoming less and less in Japan, as new Japanese Generation take control of the country. Japanese Wagyu Kobe beef is a very traditional beef that is extremely difficult to bear with the strict rules of Japanese government to raise a cattle for more than 3 years.

 

there are very strict rules to raise a Japanese Kobe Beef Wagyu Cattle in Japan. Some these rules are

1 - Keeping Tajima Kobe Beef Cattle more than  3 years is very hard and costly

2 - The Tajima Kobe Beef Wagyu cattle's blood line has to be lined up 100% with pure Tajima Wagyu cattle's blood line.

3 - There are strict rules in Japan for these Cattle feed, that had to meet the government criteria

4 - Wagyu Beef Cattle eats only organic and 100% natural feed that does not have corn or corn products in it

5 - Wagyu Cattle drinks beer and sake (Japanese alcohol) to relax, and not experience any stress

6 - Wagyu beef cattle owners give massage to help cattle to relax and not experience any stress and bad treatment.

7 - There are certain certifications that the cattle has to pass that is controlled by the Japanese government agencies

8 - The Kobe beef has to live longer than 1,000 days to be able to get the amount of marbling from a cow.

9 - In Japan, there are less than 3,000 Tajima cattle that supplies the meat for domestic need and international demand per year.

 

And many more other details that will make the list longer. All of these factors and many other factors make Tajima Kobe Beef 100% unique and costly. Especially, the number of cattle that raised by Japanese per year is so small that is very limited comparing to the demand in domestic and international level.

 

In Japan's domestic market, you will not be able to find Tajima A5 grade, less than $250 per pound. Since it is too pricey, it is available only on very high end department stores, and they sell it per 100gr which is less than 20% of a pound.

 

 So, after talking about all of these factors and the prices of the World's highest end beef, I am sure you would like to try it. Right? This month, we have a special deal, that starts from $319.95 per package of 2 pounds Japanese. Do something that will change your beef eating perspective today. Order and try our World's highest end beef and enjoy it with your loved ones.

“I have been very impressed with the overall quality of the meat supplied by Huntspoint.com. The marbling in the meat and the thickness of the cuts are better than I have ever seen!” said Bob Trudnak, Pitmaster and World BBQ Ribs Champion of Team BBQ Guru (http://www.bbqguru.com). “Having meat that’s consistently of the best quality is just as important as using the best equipment, sauces and seasonings. We feel that we now have all of the right tools in place to continue to be a successful BBQ competition team.”

Wow, was I impressed!” said Keiles. “The quality of the briskets, pork and ribs was outstanding. There is no question that their supplier, Huntspoint.com, has the best meat around. You don’t win Best Ribs (BBQ Guru) and Best BBQ (Pitmaker) at the Worlds by accident.”

The wins are just the latest in a string of successes for Huntspoint.com’s first year of sponsoring teams on the competitive circuit, which included wins by Team BBQ Guru, which was crowned the Grand Champion at the Sam’s Club / Kansas City Barbeque Society National BBQ Tour regional event in Maryland, as well as a number of overall and category wins by Team BBQ Guru and other teams.

Big news has already arrived this offseason: Beginning in early 2014, Huntspoint.com will offer a new line of Kosher products, including Kosher certified Huntspoint.com favorites like brisket, back ribs, short ribs, shoulder, and plate steak, all in both choice and prime cuts. The new Kosher line also includes several kinds of meat which will be offered for the first time from Huntspoint.com: bone-in chicken products such as thighs, wings and legs, as well as veal and lamb, giving BBQers even more meat options for home and competitive use.

"It is FEINTASTIC News to hear that www.huntspoint.com will be offering Kosher BBQ Items, said Chef Adam Feinberg of http://www.feintastingfoods.com. “I can't wait to share with all of my friends and family their AMAZING line.”

“As newcomers to supplying competition teams, we couldn’t have asked for more from our first season—from partnering with professional BBQ teams like BBQ Guru,” said Lovely Love, CEO of Huntspoint.com. “We knew we had great meat—and teams we supply backed us up—but it’s still amazing to be recognized at the highest level. We’re also very excited about the new additions to our lineup, particularly the Kosher offerings which will be ready for purchase early in 2014, which will give even more options for everyone from competition teams to backyard BBQers who want the very best.”
