I thought sous vide was just a gimmick for home cooks

A buddy in Seattle lent me his setup for a week, so I tried it on a cheap chuck roast. I cooked it for 36 hours at 135 degrees, then seared it in a cast iron pan. The texture was like a perfect medium-rare ribeye, which completely blew my mind. What's the best cut you've found for a long sous vide cook?

Well, maybe @sageross just likes chewing on boots. I did a pork shoulder for 48 hours once and it fell apart like pulled pork, but tasted like a pork chop.

My old chuck roast came out like shoe leather after 24 hours, so I'm not sold.
