Chefs Plate - Meal Ingredients delivered to your door

[ercchry]

Yeah little odd for sure. Perhaps it’s a quantity thing. Or just purely price point? From memory this stuff doesn’t seem any more expensive than the regular vac sealed stuff

[ThePenIsMightier]

Hello Fresh is very good. Great variety and quality ingredients while being bachelor-level easy to cook.
It's a big win to get children helping with food prep and making them eat new things that they become excited about - because they helped.
Way, way the fuck more money than groceries but massively cheaper than restaurants (and beer).
Serving sizes are more than adequate. "4" actually feeds two adults and two kids plus enough leftover for a small single lunch the next day.
Apparently it's run by an extremely aggressive nutcase(s).

My wife is a white Canadian millennial.

Yeah they are the worst (for cooking).

But millenial women in North America in general are horrid typically. Not saying women should be the ones who should be the ones being good at it, but put in some fucking effort like a human being. Jesus.

Well... got more weight than the online est... but yeah, not looking like the pics.

Will hopefully have a non-potato phone by the time I butcher them into steaks, but looking little too white on the fat cap to be grass fed, and a little too pale to be anything remotely “dry aged” .... dates are also slaughter to production in a day... not sure if that’s just quartered and hung? Or actually broken right down and vacuum sealed, the picanha has some red to it, but the other two are classic high production beef pale pink

...shame since the beef on tango’s IG looks great

[killramos]

Too bad, hopefully Costco can start offering their top notch in warehouse beef for delivery... just vac packs is all I want, nothing cost or processed (especially their fucking tenderizing).

[ercchry]

These might be for you then... 6lbs striploin for $100? Vacuum sealed in Argentina. I’m saving judgement for actual taste test but so far I’d say quality is at least on par with the regular Costco AAA stuff

[killramos]

I’m interested to hear the taste test.

[ercchry]

I take it all back. Would bang.

Deceiving when it was still vac packed, but once I starting slicing this beautiful striploin into 10 ~9oz steaks it all became clear.

The aroma, the texture, the colour, the fat... ya, couldn’t resist. Got a couple prepped for the sous vide for tonight, but also had one extra thic boi that I trimmed for a wagyu style taster... just a thin end cut, brisket fat, fresh thyme, and S&P in the cast iron, blue rare... ya, this is special.

Note: does NOT taste like typical North American cow... if you are sheltered in your moo, moo eating it might fall under “acquired taste” but would buy at this price point over any warehouse Canadian meat from Costco



Didn’t get the Pro 12 early... so did my best at editing for most realistic look I could. But it’s very pretty

Looks like the argentinian beef is no longer a thing on costco's site. But i did notice if you go to the ame day instacart delivery you can get most of their normal meet products on there, including whole striploins.

I may never set foot in a Costco again.

Does costco sell any sort of organic grass fed beef?

Not beef to my knowledge, you can get wagyu if you want to be fancy. But Costco’s AAA beef is fantastic quality if that’s a concern.

I think they have a lot of organic oil try options.

The Argentinian stuff fits the bill... tango imports is the supplier, website still points at Costco for purchasing. FB shows they are out of stock as of yesterday... fingers crossed it comes back

Don’t want to whore our referrals too much but I have a couple of free boxes for Hello Fresh I can give away. We have tried this and chefs plate and Hello Fresh is by far better. We ended up having nothing but poor ingredients with chefs plate. They always made it right, it was just more of a pain then it was worth.

Anyways hit up my pm for a box if your interested.

I think I do, as well.
I think the new customer just needs to agree to sign up for some level of service or time and when you do, you get a free box (I think that's about $40 value).
Then we get a $30 credit or something.

PM if interested. No pressure, at all, LoL! Once you run out of folks to give them to, they end up piling up.

The free boxes are just that, free. No obligation to the person signing up and the sender gets nothing.

The real referrals are $40 credits for the first order and the sender gets a $25 credit.

I get nothing out of the free boxes. That said, one left. First email pm’d gets it!

[CompletelyNumb]

I've given away 10 free GoodFood boxes, got nothing in return. It's the $$$ credits that are part of the affiliate scheme.

These companies give out free boxes like candy.

Also pro tip for any of these, cancel your subscription a couple times a year to get better deals to rejoin.

Tried something new, got burned.

Costco-Instacart guy says they are out of whole striploins (never had that happen to me in my life at Costco so pretty sure the dog fucker just didn’t look as they move them around).

Now the tip I gave is completely disproportionate to what I ordered, and the meat was the only thing I really wanted out of my order. So I still need to go to Costco.

In the future I will not be lazy and just go to the store in person...

Still no Argentinian strips on the website either.
