Mail Order Steaks

Post #1 - December 26th, 2011, 5:31 pmWe'll be going to visit some friends in FL in a couple of weeks. I wanted to send some steaks their way. I was torn between Allen Bros and Lobels. I figured with all the experienced pro's on here, I'd throw it out and see what you guys think. Or is there someplace better I'm missing? Thanks!SAVING ONE DOG MAY NOT CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT IT CHANGES THE WORLD FOR THAT ONE DOG.

Post #2 - December 26th, 2011, 6:15 pmI'm not sure there's a right -- or better -- answer here. I send a few gifts a year out from Allen Brothers (for work) because I think their quality is very good and until recently, they were locally owned. I've ordered for myself from Lobels and thought the steaks were very good but not extraordinary, stand-out or memorable. Clearly, both are better choices than Omaha Steaks or something on that level.
Have you talked to a local butcher you like about this? I know my butcher Zier's in Wilmette can handle this type of business and they have terrific steaks that are actually dry-aged in house. I sent some steaks to a discerning friend a couple years ago and he still talks about how great they were. Maybe Butcher & Larder or Joseph's could do this as well.

Post #5 - December 27th, 2011, 9:39 amAnother option is McGonigle's in Kansas City. They are absolutely top-quality, and have done shipping for an awfully long time. Might be nice to be able to send some Kansas City steaks!
GeoSooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick!
