I was cutting a pork shoulder at the shop and a customer asked for a specific muscle

A guy came into the shop on Tuesday and asked if I could separate the coppa from the rest of the shoulder for him. I'd always just broken them down into the standard primal cuts. I looked it up, found the seam, and pulled it out clean. It's a much better roast on its own. Now I offer it as an option. Do you guys find many people asking for that specific cut?

Yeah pulling out that coppa is a game changer. My buddy at a spot in the city said the same thing, now he sells out of them every weekend. People go nuts for it.

Sells out every weekend" is the real proof. It shows how one standout item can build a whole reputation for a place.

But what happens when the coppa hype dies down?
