I have to admit, the double stuffed potato was delicious. It even had
little chunks of bacon in it.

Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment.

No Sky, it was a Christmas gift.
We were sent 4 of those filets, 4 potatoes and the vegetables.
It was very good but not any better than what I can get locally.

I suppose if you were in an area that good beef was hard to come by it
would probably be worth the expense for a treat now and then.
I have no idea how much they charge, I've never been that interested
in them.

I just looked them up here's what I found.
The original url was 141 characters long so I thought you'd appreciate
the tiny url. ;-)
Here is what we were sent. It's on sale now for $49.99

Looks like it's a pretty good sale, you can't get that meal for that
price in a restaurant. It originally was $104.00

This is the beef I typically buy and I love it. I'm fortunate our
local butcher carries it.
