Apparently from a third party seller in New York....and tastes really bad. I was surprised steak could be safely mailed in such normal looking packaging!

what a well written article. Very human. Refreshing to read in the era of AI. Witty without trying too hard, genuinely funny, yet informative, and succinct.

I'm going to have to read more from Steven Morea!

Really? Maybe my brain is broken but I saw lots of forced analogies and LLM habits. Like where it does an em dash and a short list:

"I was getting steak ads everywhere—Instagram, news sites, even in places where ads should not be allowed to have that much audacity." ... "everything simply—salt and pepper, no fancy rubs, no sauce safety net." ... "with twine—very farmer’s market cosplay, very “trust me, I’m artisanal.”"

No thanks, I’ll stick to my Trump Steaks!

This is probably part of their "weird stuff" marketing scheme. They pick strange items to draw people in: either an item that is truly inscrutable (though often appearing related to sex) or an item that doesn't seem like it would/could be sold on their marketplace.

Unrelated story but when guests would come over, my mom would go to the store and buy the fanciest meat (usually filet mignon) and put it in a stew/soup (she liked making soups). To this day the only way I've had filet mignon was in soup

I remember in 2021 or so there was a startup doing 20 minute grocery delivery in SF, $50 off on your first order.

I got some really nice steaks for free and the delivery actually arrived via motorbike in 10 minutes. They must have had delivery drivers waiting with their own inventory or something. Anyways, the VC funding dried up and the company was gone a few months later.

that was ~20 years earlier but was so awesome when it was around. That and webvan were better (for customers, not for making money) than anything that existed until 2020.
