Omaha Steaks has a good deal. Not sure if I should spend my money on this. I don't really want their hot dogs, but 40 bucks for two filet mignons and a bunch of stuff I'll likely buy at some point anyway does sound pretty good. I mean it's like ten hamburger patties. I think maybe I should go for this deal.

One of the rules of thumb, Omaha steaks never has a good deal. If all you really care about if Filet Mignon (which is a dumb thing to care about as it's a pedestrian cut of beef) you can get a pound of it for like 25 bucks. What I used to do back in the day when I lived near civilization is Shop Rite would once every few months run a sale and you could get a Grassfed beef tenderloin for like 6 bucks a pound. So after you did some butchering, you had yourself a handful of filets and some lovely roasts for a cheap deal. I kept the "scraps" and made my own burger meat every few months as well. Wasn't half bad.

If you want a real treat, find a good butcher and have them recommend something to you. Or go to whole foods. Back when I lived near civilization, whole foods steaks were the way to be. You'd spend 10-15 bucks for a big cut of meat but it was tender and flavorful, because they know how to properly butcher.

Legend has it that—back during the height of the French gentry's opulence, not long after the cut and preparation of the Chateaubriand received its name from the eponymous Vicomte—the so-called master-chefs would actually broil the entire tenderloin; they would discard the charred filet (mignon) and butt ends, because the real treasure was the perfectly-cooked center-cut of the tenderloin.

Of course, history has it that, until the Twentieth Century, Chateaubriand were actually cut from sirloin—but I like the story.

This might be some useful advice until you got to the grassfed part. Agreed on Omaha steaks being a deal. Nothing special about them IMO.

Filet pedestrian? child please.

Making your own burger is a great idea, just an effort.

Snake River Farms is a great place for high end beef, and their sister company Double R Ranch Prime Beef bone in ribeyes is on the "to do" list.

I caught a spear fish yesterday and the guy taking the pic did an extremely poor job with his iPhone . Here's hoping the go pro got a shot.

They are pretty rare in the gulf.

Natty Light? Milwaukee Best? Keystone Light?

If you drink any of the above, Urgent Care is in your future? Nasty runs.

Grassfed beef is amazing. It's a bit different because it's leaner and "gamier" but it's exceptional. And Filet is pedestrian. It's great in it's own regard. But because of it's lack of flavor you have to season it more liberally than the great cuts like Ribeye, strip, or if you want to play it safer porterhouse is great as you get the tenderness of the filet on one half, and the more flavorful strip.

Different strokes, different folks.

Not a fan at all, and I eat a ton of wild game. Grain finished is where it's at .

Grain finished is just adding more fat, not anything of any real significance.

And changes the flavor and texture of it, which is significant

Our box for the football game on Thursday ran out of beer in the middle of the 1st qtr, right when the Governor came in.

The good news is they brought more.

Keep drinking it. After a week or so you'll forget what good beer tasted like.

That's what you get for using an inferior webbrowser.
