| In the yahd, not too fah from the cah  |
Anyone ever order from them? Long story short my neighbor generously plowed my driveway and shoved my walk and shoveled out my wife's car while I was working a 24 during yesterday's storm. He's bailed me out a few times while I was working and always refuses money. I was going to order something for him from Omaha steaks but their recent reviews are horrible. Has anyone tried Kansas City? Or have another company you recommend? | ||

How about a gift card at a known excellent restaurant, Ruth’s Chris for example? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I don't like mail order steaks. I like them fresh at my local butcher. "Some things are apparent.

Yeah, I can see the gift value. But I've never considered the concept of mail order steaks worthwhile. I like the restaurant gift card idea. | |||

Most mail order steaks I have had are way too salty and always seem to come out dry. I know Legal does a nice lobster dinner you can have delievered and they guaratee they are live and kicking when they are arrive...Hell, my sister in Natick sent one out to me in AZ and the lobster and steamers were all great. Or there's always Casey's in Natick! | |||

I live in a small mountain town, so our dining choices are limited unless we want to venture out. I have a neighbor who helps me with a variety of things from time to time. I often get him a gift certificate to a local eatery (a diner). Matter of fact, he helped me & my boys with a Cub Scout requirement 2 weeks ago..."My family's duty to God." That earned him a $20 gift certificate. Several years ago he helped me with something that I thought was worth more than $20, so I got him 2 - $20 gift certificates. I didn't think him and his wife could eat $40 of food at 1 time! | |||

Here are a couple you can order with complete confidence from. I have ordered from both these and have been completely satisfied. Beware these are not in the same budget category as Omaha steaks. www.snakeriverfarms.com www.creekstonefarms.com "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

I second getting steaks at a local butcher. I’ve had KC Steak Co. steaks and while they’re fine for frozen steaks, I’d take fresh from a butcher or even Costco 100 out of 100 times. | |||

While I have not tried them, I have read good reviews for Snake River Farms. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

My wife got some kind of gift points from her employer. When she quit she decided to use the points right away and got Kansas City ribeyes. They were fine but not as good as the ribeyes from King Soopers butcher block. _______________________ “There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.” ― Frank Zappa | |||

Much better idea. None of those frozen, delivered steaks are very good. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

i have gotten tasty ones from both Omaha and KC Steaks as gifts. a very nice gesture IMO. unlike some - i am not a steak snob. salt, olive oil, 600-700 deg grill 4 mins per side. major yum with fresh cut potatoes and fresh baked rolls. just depends on the target audience. in the end - it's the thought that counts the most. ----------------------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

You might try Rube's Steaks in Montour, Iowa. I have sent them to a pal in Maine and they are not frozen. They have a grill your own restaurant that has had great meat every time I was there. This will be finished beef from here in Iowa so no it isn't the grass fed stuff some folks prefer. Most cattle here are pastured for their growing years and then finished in a feed lot for the end of their soon to be very tasty lives. I think it is the best of both worlds as far as meat quality goes.

At Christmas my cousin gifted me a rather large Omaha Steaks order (I still have a little left) I think they’re pretty tasty, but I’m not a steak snob, either. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

You could send them some really good Kansas City Barbecue - they ship it 2 day in a special package so that it arrives fresh. Jack Stack Barbecue But for fantastic Kansas City Steaks, the BEST come from McGonigle's. They ship also... McGonigle's Steaks 'veritas non verba magistri' | |||

I would stay away from Omaha steaks, they just have an artificial texture to them, burgers are ok, rest blah | |||

I have no experience with Kansas City Steaks, but I do have one place that I would highly recommend if you're looking for a great steak: Lobel's of New York and I don't say that lightly. I grew up in the mid-west, we always had good beef either directly from the farm or from a good local butcher. I was sent a box of dry-aged steaks from a customer of ours last October as a thank you for saving their behinds on a big project. I was thankful, but certainly did not have high expectations from a mail order steak company... O. M. G. Was I ever wrong. They were THE BEST steaks I've ever had and that includes steaks from Ruth's Chris, Manny's Steakhouse and Kincaid's in St. Paul. They aren't cheap and I probably won't be buying a lot, but if I were to purchase a steak online, this is the place I'd get it from. | |||
