Uncommon Cuts: Products You Didn’t Know You Needed…Until Now

Unexpected Picks That Deserve a Spot on Your Menu

Let’s be honest, everyone knows and loves the classics—but sometimes it’s the lesser-known products that steal the show and keep customers talking.

At Meats by Linz, we’re all about craftsmanship, innovation, and giving chefs the tools to surprise their customers; in the best way possible. That’s why we’re spotlighting a few under-the-radar items that can turn heads in all the right ways. These aren’t just premium products—they’re conversation starters.

For Chefs Who Don’t Settle for the Ordinary:

14 oz Linz Heritage Angus Choice Bone-In Filet – Frenched

Because drama belongs on the plate, not in the kitchen

Sourced from the most tender part of the cow, this filet delivers a melt-in-your-mouth experience with the added richness that only the bone can bring.

Why the bone? It’s not just for show—the bone helps retain moisture during cooking, enhancing juiciness and boosting flavor. And because it’s frenched (meaning the bone has been carefully cleaned and exposed), it arrives with an upscale, clean presentation that stands out on the plate.

If your guests aren’t pulling out their phones for this one, we’ll be shocked.

Pro Tip: Not a common butcher’s cut, this filet is the kind of specialty item that turns heads and sets your menu apart.

Bell & Evans Spatchcock WOG

A mouthful in name, a knockout on the grill

The Bell & Evans Spatchcock Chicken is no ordinary poultry. Spatchcocked for faster, more even cooking, this whole bird is 100% all-natural—no retained water, no giblets, and no shortcuts.

The flat profile gives you crispier skin and better plate coverage, while the clean trim and consistent sizing make it a dream for high-volume kitchens or wood-fired features. Rustic, versatile, and always reliable—this is the bird chefs come back to. 

Roast it, grill it, glaze it—just don’t sleep on it.

Linz Heritage Angus Hot Dogs

Hot dogs but make them real

These aren’t the hot dogs of your childhood cookouts. Our Linz Heritage Angus dogs are made from 100% Angus beef sourced directly from our Linz Heritage Angus cattle; our hot dog is all bite, no filler. It’s juicy. It’s flavorful. And so good people keep saying, “That’s the best hot dog I’ve ever had.” We’d blush… if we weren’t busy taking another bite.

Perfect for restaurants looking to surprise guests with a nostalgic classic that punches way above the curve.

Tip: Elevate your hot dog menu with unexpected toppings—crispy shallots, spicy aioli, even Mexican street corn. We left the creativity to our kitchen heroes.

Signature Burger Blends

Where flavor and function meet

Think of our custom burger blends as your secret weapon. We took the best of Linz Heritage Angus and crafted seven premium blends for burgers that are anything but ordinary. Each blend was created to deliver maximum flavor, juiciness, and an indulgent bite every single time. Whether you want high-fat richness, a steakhouse-style texture, or something completely signature to your concept, we got you covered.

Tip: Use them for more than burgers—try meatballs, sliders, or even as a base for a creative tartare.
