Award-winning chef says popular retailer has elite beef at bargain prices

James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd endorses Walmart as an excellent source for USDA Prime beef at competitive prices, praising the retailer's partnership with McLaren Farms. While Shepherd highlights the quality and affordability of cuts like ribeyes and briskets, food expert Evan Carter cautions that USDA Prime grading alone doesn't guarantee premium quality and notes potential variability in consistency at large retailers.
