Wholesale Beef Brisket in Chicago
Brisket is the cut that built Chicago BBQ and the foundation of every deli corned beef and pastrami program in the city. It is a workhorse cut — low cost, high yield, and the kind of rich, beefy flavor that only comes from a cut that is built for slow cooking.
About this
cut
The brisket comes from the breast or lower chest of the animal. A full packer brisket includes both the flat (the lean, even muscle) and the point (the fatty, marbled muscle on top). The flat is what you slice for plated service; the point is what you burn for chopped beef, burnt ends, and rich, fatty flavor.
We sell full packer briskets, trimmed flats, and separated points — your choice of grade, trim level, and case count. For BBQ joints, we can hand-trim packers to your preferred fat cap. For delis, we supply corned beef and pastrami-cured briskets ready for the steam table.

Why buy
from IMC
Brisket is a cut where sourcing and trim make or break your yield. We buy from trusted Midwestern packers, hand-trim every packer to your spec, and weigh each piece so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our Master Butchers have been cutting brisket on West Grand for three generations — for BBQ, for deli, for catering — and we know what a cookable brisket looks like.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell full packer briskets or just flats?
Both. Full packer briskets (flat and point together) are the standard for BBQ. We also sell trimmed flats for plated service and separated points for burnt ends and chopped beef. Tell us your program and we will pack it accordingly.
Can you trim the fat cap to a specific thickness?
Yes. We hand-trim every packer brisket to your preferred fat cap — whether you want a quarter-inch, half-inch, or untrimmed. Consistent trim means consistent cook times and consistent yield.
Do you offer corned beef or pastrami briskets?
Yes. We supply corned beef and pastrami-cured briskets ready for the steam table — a staple for delis and Irish pubs across Chicagoland. Ask about cured options when you set up your account.
