I think the difference is the steak in that part of the world is corn fed. I know every steak I’ve ever eaten in Kansas City or in Nebraska was a lot better than anything I’ve ever eaten here in Texas.
But I’ll go there to eat it. I just don’t trust what’s coming in the mail. Nor will I buy OMAHA steaks off from some guy who knocks on the front door selling steaks out of his truck. I actually know people who’ve done that.
The last two guys who knocked on my door trying to sell me crap out of the back of their truck got to have a nice little overnight nap in jail courtesy of the Sheriff. Happens every time they ignore my No Trespassing signs. Committing Criminal Trespass will do that.....
"Fell off" the big truck, got into his little truck, no doubt! Any reports of hijacked meat trucks lately/
Some of the best steaks I've ever had were bought out of the back of a Ford ranger, in the parking lot of a Moline bar, about 10 minutes to close in 1999.
Good deal too. About 15 pounds for 10 bucks.
