Reply to "PICS--Santa Maria Smoked/Grilled Tri Tip"

Hi Pags - Just a friendly FYI.

The product you bought at Costco probably has a label showing the brand name as "Morton's of Omaha". Costco carries a few items under this brand including the pre-marinated choice cut tritip you purchased. It's a private label brand exclusive to Costco which is, I believe, produced and supplied by Cargill.

The product has no association whatsoever with the the Morton restaurant chain, which was founded in the late 1970s under the name "Morton's of Chicago". After growing the chain for around 10 years, the founder, Arnie Morton, sold it to a group of investors, which now now operates approximately 70 restaurants under the name "Morton's The Steakhouse". For the duration, the primary, if not exclusive, beef vendor for Morton's has been Allen Brothers of Chicago.

BTW, I recall reading a year or two ago that there was a large contamination recall of this product. E Coli. I'm sure there are no issues now so enjoy it.
