Buying wholesale whole chicken in NYC

Wholesale meat in the NYC metro is priced per pound and quoted by the case (for example 4×10 lb). The per-pound rate is the cleanest way to compare suppliers and pack sizes.

Price depends on the cut, the grade and the amount of trim. USDA grades (Choice, Prime) and branded programs such as Certified Angus carry higher rates, while chuck, round and trim cuts are the most affordable.

Keeping your food cost in range

Most US kitchens target a food cost of 28–35% of menu price. Tracking the per-pound cost of your top cuts and pricing your menu against it is the simplest way to protect margin as wholesale rates move.
