Los Angeles, 1930, in color.  No potholes.  Mass transit everywhere.  People bustling in the streets.  No homeless everywhere.  2 lane streets, with traffic moving.  How we have evolved.

W T H. Is this normal for any of you? Would you spend this much for this cut of meat?

You'd get 40 nice steaks out of that and at $10 per steak that's a pretty good price for a quality Rib-Eye.

I'm more concerned that the sell-by date is four months away!

Only from the 29th month of the year.

No.  For Costco, that's a little low.  Usually they only sell in 25 lb increments.

You pay about 30% less if you can pick that up at a restaurant supply store. But when you figure a 16oz prime rib at a steakhouse like Morton's is going to cost at least $65, this is a deal at $18 a pound.

Aged beef is better. Not aged in plastic at the Walmart but properly aged beef is awesome. But if you read the label correctly it is only 6 days from expiration. Silly Euros putting the month after the day.

i couldn't imagine dropping $400 on a cut of meat. i also couldn't imagine paying $65 for a steak. without a doubt it's delicious when prepared correctly, but that's just a crazy amount of money.

 

* if paired with a nice pumpkin beer, i'd quickly change my mind

I couldn't imagine dropping $4.50 on broccoli.

But it was organic.  And cruelty free.

It costs $13.50 for a side of vegetables at Morton's.

Now where would the fun be in that?

Agree with the aged beef, a local farm does the most delicious Angus beef they hang for 21 days before butchering. Juicy, tasty and more B vitamins and minerals than the broccoli. Got vitamin D too, which is pretty handy in gloomy winter time Britain (I haven't seen the sun since Tuesday, won't see it tomorrow, or the next day, might be out for a couple of hours on Monday though - yay!).

The Whole Foods in Santa Monica used to have an aged beef section and I bought a couple pounds of ribeye for a dinner with my parents. Trimmed it, simple salt and pepper seasoning then bbq'ed the steaks to a perfect medium rare. It was pearls before swine, my father threw his piece back on the grill until it was well done then turned it into a pet lick with table salt. Thankfully he didn't ask for ketchup or I would have had to kick him out of the house.
