> Well, the prices of the meat at Peter Lugar's might be out of your range.
It's dry aged prime beef.

$33/lb for NY strips plus $40 for shipping is pretty high.

I'm not afraid to pay for quality if it indeed merits the price, and in case
you haven't been following my current odyssey I recently bought an
assortment of Wagyu steaks. I'm no stranger to dry aged Prime but can get it
locally at lower prices. The issue is that there are varying levels within
the broad range that is Prime, and in fact Prime only has a lower limit by
definition.

Is Lugar's meat really that good? Have you had it? I'd be willing to give it
a go if it's worth the price, but charging $40 to overnight 6 pounds of meat
is pretty rude. Hell, after shipping their 36oz porterhouses are $100 each
when bought as a two-pack. That's almost $50/lb for Prime porterhouse. That
same $50/lb would buy Wagyu fillet mignon.
