I'd never heard of them, but the selection looks great. Keep us posted on how they work out.

[Mik]

They have a store in Chicago on Geneva. That is where mine will ship from.

[George K]

What's the ETA for your order?

I'm looking to buy some meat soon...

[Mik]

It came today. Very frozen, well packed and everything looks exactly as advertised. Was going to grill some pork chops tonight but jus wasnt hungry enough for anything but half a sandwich and a cup of soup.

[George K]

Thanks for the update!

I was going to place a large-ish order from Costco using Instacart. This seems a bit cheaper, with more variety.

[Mik]

Pan seared and roasted a ribeye Berkshire pork chop tonight. I deliberately did not brine it to see what it was by itself. It was excellent. Very tender, very flavorful pork

So far so good. I would buy it again. Definitely much better quality than Costco.

Just signed up and placed my first order.

Salmon, Steaks, The Berkshire Pork Chops, some side dishes that they spring on you during checkout. bastards! lol

I subscribed. 3 orders and you pay for the annual membership in shipping charges.

[George K]

Thanks for being our guinea pig, Mik!

Gonna get an order together tomorrow.

Delivery is, what, about 48-72 hours?

[Mik]

Great. They have very reasonable prices on veal rib chops. Will try them this weekend with their truffle demi glace.

[Mik]

Yeah, I got mine within a couple days. I will let you know how Biloxi Shrimp Co. works out. They sell the shrimp peeled and deveined.

We are having the Berkshire Pork Chops tonight. Man are these things thick!

Pan sear and roast.

@Mik

Did you use anything to sear them with? Mayo? Oil?

What temp and how long to roast these bad boys?

[Mik]

I just used a little olive oil. 3 minutes per side at medium high, maybe just a bit lower, then 6-10 minutes at 375. I like them about 150.

[Mik]

You should try the veal chops next time too. Excellent.

[mark]

@Mik Thanks! I will report back on them.

[Mik]

Yeah, the nice thing is one is enough for two people easily.

[George K]

I just ordered some filets for Mrs. George and some strip steaks for myself. Threw in some chicken breasts just to see.

[mark]

@Mik By roasting them, is that a covered roasting pan? or can I just toss the frying pan into the oven? Bottom line is, should I cover them in the oven?

[Mik]

I use either a cast iron skillet or my Henkel Granitium skillet (cannot recommend these highly enough). Just open is fine, and it's already hot from the sear.

[mark]

I have a big original (like 30+years old) Calphalon thick aluminum skillet that I use for this purpose.

No cast iron unfortunately.
