The Restaurant Depot product thread

[GlowingGhoul]

Besides the savings, I consider a trip to RD to be a treasure hunt, finding products I haven't seen anywhere else.

I'll start by mentioning "Daisy Butt". These are small (under 2 pounds) whole smoked pork shoulders.

I have no idea what they're used for in restaurants, but for breakfast I slice them thickly and bake the slices for 15 mintues @ 375.

It's like a very flavorful tiny ham.

I also like James Farm "Premium" heavy cream, which has 40% butterfat vs the 36% in the grocery store brands here.

7/11 tomatoes, Kronos gyro slices, Gulf shrimp, Canolli Cream and shells,....I could go on and on.

What have you found?
