Feedback on Lobel's meats

We purchased a ham and a dry-aged beef tenderloin from Lobel's of New York for use over the holidays. While the ham is very meaty and smoky, I do not see enough QPR to make this a repeat purchase.

The tenderloin is a different story. It was worth every penny. Very beefy, the meat could almost be cut with a fork. There was no waste whatsoever, and the plates were cleaned -- poor dog got nothing but a little juice. This is the best beef I have ever enjoyed, and it will definitely be a repeat order.

Thanks for the report, Randy. We've never tried the ham, but they are really experts with beef, in our experience. Ask for a sample order of their meatballs next time -- I'd love to see what you think.

Regards, Bob

I'll do that, Bob.

We have ordered their steaks -- usually their very thick bone in ribeyes and NY strips. They are beyond compare in our book. We try to save them for special occasions.

We'll have to try their meatballs too!

As you probably know Randy, I had a dry aged bone in standing rib roast for Christmas dinner. While the roast was excellent, and the flavor very beefy, I do not think I would pay the premium price for the experience. What I do intend to do though is to purchase a whole boneless rib eye and dry age a 5-7 pound roast from that. I don't see why I couldn't wrap it in cloth and change the cloth daily. I would need to keep the fridge at or close to 36 degrees, for 14-21 days which should be sufficient. I will report on the experiment
