A USDA Choice bone in standing rib roast for $6.99/lb in the SF Bay area
would be a steal. Even at Costco they're $8.99/lb. The standing ribs at the
Safeway are USDA Select. They are, however, very good both in taste and
price. You have to roast to 115F, and then rest 30-35 minutes during the
Yorkie process.
