Is a Premium Meat Delivery Subscription Worth It? I Tried One for Two Months

"I'm an indecisive person, but I haven't waffled on my answer to the age-old dinner-party question "What would be your final meal on Earth?" in years: a medium-rare New York strip steak au poivre, cheesy potato gratin, a bright green salad, and a glass of really good red wine. Steak is the ultimate special occasion meal to me, but I rarely cook it-or any red meat, for that matter-at home. So when I do, I want it to be good."

"The self-proclaimed "Pioneers of American Wagyu Beef," Snake River Farms is a family-owned and operated business that's been around since the '80s (though its parent company, Agri Beef, was founded in 1968). The brand works with family-owned ranches to source its meat, and oversees the entire supply chain. I first tried SRF while testing for a meat delivery subscription article over the summer, and it has fully converted me from a buy-a-steak-from-the-nearest-grocery-store-the-day-of kind of person to an online meat delivery evangelist."

A preference for a medium-rare New York strip au poivre, cheesy potato gratin, green salad, and good red wine frames a strong fondness for steak as a special-occasion meal. Home cooking of red meat is rare, so quality matters when steak is prepared. Local gourmet butchers provide decent options, but specialty cuts and higher grades often require online meat delivery. Snake River Farms offers giant cowboy ribeyes, marbled American Wagyu strips, and Kurobuta pork chops. Snake River Farms operates as a family-owned business that partners with family ranches and controls the supply chain. Ordering is available à la carte or via subscription with selectable delivery frequencies.
