Prime Rib?
How big/what size would I need to feed 5?......One website said a 5.57 lb roast is only "2 Bones" and will feed 4........Does that sound accurate?......My local butcher told me I need a 5 inch roast.....

I usually figure 12-16 ounces of pre-cooked bone-in rib roast per person. Not to be a stickler here, but not all rib roasts are "prime" Prime refers to the USDA grade, which is the highest grade and consists of only about 3% of beef produced. The majority of prime cuts are sold to restaurants and not the general public. We as consumers usually only have the choice of purchasing Choice or Select grades in grocery stores.
I agree completely, what most people are eating is a rib roast, not prime rib. Nothing wrong with it and definitely some of the best meat on the hoof IMO.
