In case you are curious, we got a dead heat between Pork Ribs and Pork Bellies at nine a piece. Only other close matchup is Short Loin/Rib (8-10).

 

EDIT: And @FrankRizzo breaks the tie on the pork products and makes it a one point game on the top beef options!

Sausage is bad mmkay.

You're entitled to your wrong opinion.  I mean, yes, I've gotten a bit over traditional link sausage (it's a struggle to find an Italian deli in SoCal that has a good quality cased Italian sausage; surprising not for just loose/ground Italian sausage), and maybe it's a case of me just getting turned on to other meats in my links (elk sausage is freaking amazing!), sausage on the whole is delicious.  Patties are clearly superior to links because getting a nice char on the exterior and Maillard effect on the sausage is essential.

I question some of the first round matchups, but protest day is over:

Beef Short Loin vs Beef Rib
Beef Brisket vs Beef Sirloin
Pork Shoulder vs Pork Tenderloin
Pork Ribs vs Pork Belly (you sons of designated-hitter lovers, I hate you for making me choose)

 

Redemption (Elimination) Bracket

Ground Beef vs Pork Butt (Ham, Shank, Hock) - that's right, you tofurkey loving vanilla ice cream eaters, I choose ground beef on top of my ham.  On top of my apple pie.  On top of my cheese curds.  I choose it all.

Beef Round vs Ground Sausage 
Beef Flank/Plate vs Pork Loin
Beef Chuck vs Sausage Links

My friend shot an elk from his bedroom window and had the ENTIRE thing turned into sausage and pepperoni sticks

we ate like kings that winter. Stinky, greasy, constipated kings, but we loved every minute of it

There's a restaurant not-so-near me (it's on the other side of Malibu, so technically still SoCal but, with LA traffic, it's a good 2 hour drive at most times of day to get there) that regularly has oak-grilled elk chops on the menu and they're among the Top 10 things I've ever eaten.  And this is one of those places that purposefully doesn't have a freezer so all the meats are fresh.  They got featured on one of those "Food Paradise" episodes on Travel Channel and I was so upset when that happened, because that just means it's more difficult to get an early evening reservation (which you want the early ones since when the run out of something, they're out and you're screwed).

I'm not a fan of venison usually, but I've never had it prepared by a chef at a restaurant either. I like it as burger or sausage generally.

I've had it in a number of different preparations.  My dad hunted, therefore growing up I hunted a little - mostly when visiting other members of his family that lived in more rural parts of the state and hunted on the regular.  One of the best elk preparations I've ever had was actually the heart from a fresh kill stuffed with sausage and breadcrumbs and cooked in a Dutch over over a campfire.  it sounds nasty to people who don't usually eat ofall, but it's astoundingly amazing.

My dad hunted but just gave the meat to my uncle, he just liked going out with them, he never liked it and nobody else in the family really did either. I only ever hunted small game, and I’ve eating tons of small game, so that’s what I prefer to venison lol. Not that I eat either often at all (every few years now, maybe couple times a summer as a kid)

Yeah I’m good with offal though. Organ meat is underrated.

skewered chicken hearts wrapped in bacon were a campfire tradition in the summer growing up.  

Tacos lengua are still incredible and eaten routinely
