Whole Foods Beef
Anyone know where Whole foods gets its beef from? do they come pre-cut or do they cut them up in house?I picked up a Rib Eye last night for tonight, but am craving tartare more and more by the minute.I am just unsure how WholeFoods beef quality is these days.

Whole Foods beef (in SoCal at least) is phenomenal. I've gotten $11/lb. ribeyes that could have passed for USDA Prime. I can't speak for pre-cut or whether they get the whole steer, but the butchers behind the counter have always been willing to cut short rib flanken-style for me in the back if I ask nicely (they usually only put out the English style cut).
