People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Sourced from the loin of the cattle and renowned for its tenderness (hence the name), beef tenderloin is the cut of choice any time home chefs would like to whip up a slab of slow-cooked roast. And if you're ever in the mood for a steak dinner? A tenderloin can be sliced into the legendary filet mignon. Cook it on a grill for a few minutes and you'll have a delicious and decadent meal ready to go. But while it's undoubtedly delicious, it comes with a hefty price tag (it's one of the priciest beef cuts that you can get, in fact.) Depending on availability, grade, and trimming, you can expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $30 per pound.

Here's What You Need To Know To Buy Beef Tenderloin Like A Pro

Sometimes, you'll see huge circles of deli pepperoni, a common choice for sandwiches. But the true cream of the crop, the once and future king of the pepperoni kingdom, is Old World pepperoni.

What Sets Old World Pepperoni Apart From The Rest
