Some people refer to Chuck Roast as a poor mans brisket.... which doesn't really make sense because chuck roast cost more than brisket per pound.

Chuck is way better than brisket

I wouldn't say that... if smoking traditional I think a brisket is better. the problem is a lot of people can't pull off a brisket cook. Chuck roast is alright cooked like a brisket but not as good as a brisket that was cooked right. But I do cook a lot of chuck roast other ways and love it.

It is due to 'fads' and marketing. Look at flank and skirt cuts which years back were poor mans cuts until the Tex-Mex fajitas craze went national. Same with chicken wings, if you can find them and you will pay 4x the cost per lb of actual meat than you will for thighs. Brisket is another one.

Same with chuck roast and round steak and brisket, when I was growing up that was all cheap cuts. social media hasn't helped it, everyone wants to be a celebrity and have a blog, they post something then everyone repeats it... pretty soon its everywhere. I remember 15-20 years ago brisket was everywhere and cheap, and a fraction of people cooked them compared to today. Same with Tri-Tip, I live in Ca. it was a regional cut, I had been may places across the US and most people didn't know about them, now everyone knows about them. The same thing happened with chicken thighs, they used to be the cheapest cut next to legs, now they cost as much as breast because a few people on the internet and cooking shows said they were so juicy and easier to cook and now they are priced crazy.
