Due to the switchover of Supernews to Giganews I didn't see this. Prime (and most Choice for that matter) is only available commercially--that is, to restaurants. Most groceries carry Standard. You might be able to order Choice through a butcher. It's all done by eye anyway; there's no definitive standard for when Prime shades into Choice (or vice-versa). And there's only a couple degrees difference in the marbling anyway. Especially if it's been dry-hanged; I don't believe anyone outside the industry could discern the difference. It's kinda like "filet mignon." There's actually only 4 per cow (two on each tenderloin). The rest of the tenderloin steaks should more properly be called "tournedos" but in practice most restaurants sell those as filet (and the trimmings are cut up and sold as "filet stroganoff" and nobody's particularly outraged. Except the cow. B/ Quote

As far as porterhouse goes, Lidia Bastianich recently showed how they do it in the cowboy region of Tuscany. I think you can see the program here: http://www.iptv.org/series.cfm/18593/ep:110 B/ Quote
