CAB is just a marketing thing. I don't think choice CAB is materially different from other choice graded meat.
Twenty years ago, CAB was truly superior to just about any other commodity Choice grade beef...not to mention, a brilliant marketing ploy.
Today, while CAB folks still claim their product to originate from the top 1/3 rd of the Choice grade, I don't really find much of a difference, flavor and marbling wise.
I've read recently that a DNA study of beef marketed as "Angus" reveals more than 50% of the study group to be non-Angus. CAB wasn't a culprit but I see quite a bit of meat labeled as Angus in supermarkets and suspected some hanky panky.
