Thread: Serious OT mail order prime meat question

Can someone who has experience ordering prime meats through the mail please tell me which company you think has the best filets? I want to order some for a relative's birthday next week and taste is far more important than price to me.

I read an article a few months ago that said meat sold as "prime" from some mail order companies was actually "choice" and that the prime meat from some companies was not very tasty. Omaha Steaks was named as one company whose filets were rather, "Blah,"--so I do not want to order from them.

What I have also learned is that: a.) dry aging is superior to wet aging and imparts a stronger taste; and b.) the best steaks are found in NY because this is the most competitive market. So... maybe someone knows where the NY steak orders order their meat?

I have a catalogue from Allen Brothers' that sells choice and prime filets and have found a few other web sites:

Prime Access has good reviews and states it's meats are dry aged:

beststeak.com

Stock Yards of Chicago has been around since 1893:

store.stockyards.com

Here's Allen Brother's site (the one I have a catalogue for):

allenbrothers.com

I am not going to order from the following company, but here's one I found that only sells (no grade noted) free-range, grass-fed, organic beef:

lasatergrasslandsbeef.com

Hoping someone knows as much about mail ordering prime meats as some people here obviously do about wine-
