MEAT MARKET UPDATE

UPDATED JULY 15, 2025

Beef Market:

This summer has seen some of the highest prices since Covid-2020. While we are seeing some moderate declines in pricing, overall we won’t get down near where we were last summer. There are spot cuts that are showing some better deals than others, and better than they were in June. Frozen grinds and other value-added items still present the best option for deals on beef at the moment. We’ll continue to monitor the market as a whole and keep our chefs in good quality product.

Pork Market:

Demand for pork is slowing post 4th of July. While production has also slowed, we’re seeing pricing come down on most cuts. Bellies still remain the outlier and have seen some increases still. Following behind the bellies are bacon prices, which follow the belly pricing, but a few weeks removed. We’ll keep watching for good deals, but a solid loin chop could be a great grill special through the month.

Chicken Market:

The chicken market as a whole has leveled off the past couple weeks. most cuts have been very steady. We are seeing some increased demand and thus pricing on wings, and availability on tenders has been fairly tight. We’re seeing less shortages overall, and pricing has been fairly steady again.
