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.

[mark]

Very tasty and tender. Used a light coating of oil in the pan and smeared mayo on them.

We're fans.

We had the aged New York Strip steaks tonight. We did a head to head competition with our favorite local beef supplier.

First, the Wild Fork steaks were half the price of the local steaks. Wow.

$8.00/lb vs 16.50/lb

They were seasoned and prepared exactly the same in the same pan.
Salt, Pepper, touch of onion and garlic, Mayo seared and baked at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

They were both incredible pieces of meat. I might give a slightly more tender award to the local steak but it was so close that I kept going back to the fact, that the Wild Fork steaks were half the price.

We also prepared the Wild Fork Steak Fries in a shallow pan of olive oil. Wow. Incredible flavor from a spud. We didn't even salt them.

Wild Fork is here to stay for us.

[Mik]

I just placed another order. This time just some chicken, veal loin chops and some sauces, which I have found to be very good. If this keeps up I will probably cough up the $30.

I'm about to place another order. Which ones did you get, these?

The prime is more expensive...

[Mik]

I doubt the prime is worth double the price.

I don't think it is worth 2x the price.

@George-K You should buy both and do a side by side taste test.
