Should you rest brisket in butcher paper?

Chef's answer
I tend to plan for a 3-hour rest when doing a brisket. I think butcher paper would just get completely soggy after an hour or so. The butcher paper was wet but it stayed together well enough for me to just unwrap and serve.

Perhaps you already have a source of high-quality meat that you trust, but if you don't then ButcherBox is a great place to start. All of their products are humanely raised or wild-caught, and they're never given antibiotics or added hormones. I've also been very satisfied with the appearance and taste of the meat.
