The Battle Between The Ribeyes! Is Sam's Club Better Than Costco? El Patron

In this one, we’re heading to the warehouse clubs to settle a long-standing debate: Costco vs. Sam’s Club. I’m picking up Ribeyes from both to see which one delivers the best marbling, flavor, and value. To keep things authentic, I’m firing up the Lone Star Grillz "El Patron" https://lonestargrillz.com/ and burning some hot Mesquite. This isn't just a steak review; it’s a high-heat flavor test to see which beef can stand up to the intense, smoky profile of an open-fire cook. Does the price difference at Costco translate to a better steak, or is Sam’s Club the sleeper hit for your next BBQ?
