How much difference between Prime rib eye roast and USDA Select rib eye roast, besides cost?
@MarT: It's supposed to be higher quality...better marbling, more tender meat, greater flavor, etc.. Prime is the way to go most of the time if you can afford it. That being said, I've cooked select cuts (of just about everything) that were better than some Prime/Choice versions. I go by the look & feel of my meat more than anything, and not what the tag says. If you go to Randalls, HEB, Sams, maybe even Kroger, you should be ok. A trusted meat market  is a good choice as well, but you'll pay an extra 10-20% probably. I hope that helps. P.S. Y'all are welcome for the TWSS.
