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.

...with the exception that I've always been able to special order a Prime grade rib roast....and have seen it infrequently at Costco, other times, have to go to a specialty meat store.
Prime rib and/or tenderloin was the meat of choice for Christmas.
