The Making of the Rib Cap by Bryan Flannery

By | Father's Day, Jaric Marketing Inc, Steaks | No Comments

Featuring once again Bryan Flannery’s Rib Cap.   When James heard about the rib cap, this was one of the reasons he brought Bryan Flannery products to the Philippines.  It’s his favorite part of the prime rib/roast beef.  And now you don’t have to buy the whole prime rib to get this valuable part!

So I took my husband, then I rushed to the back and took Renato!

Don’t you just love these photos?  I love capturing moments like these.  Aren’t our husbands such good guys?  Agree Tita Tess? Renato and James are such kind gentlemen to carry our dainty, colorful yet heavy bags even if they look funny, Haha!!
