“I tried a lot of steaks. Trust me. You name it, I tried it, tested it in a hundred ways. A lot of the products were missing one very important aspect called consistency. My CW Rep Daniel Rothbart was like ‘Try Allen Brother’s New 12 Ounce Portion Packed New York Steak.’ I love it! It has everything I was looking for. This beef has a delicious natural flavor with it’s own subtle saltiness, and a great texture. And the consistency I was looking for was really there. I froze it, it was the same. I let it sit in the fridge, same thing. The quality just showed up time and time again whether rare, medium, or well done.

We did a taste test with a sirloin and the Allen Brother’s NY 12 ounce and the difference was clear. The flavor and texture really stood out. It’s been selling great. Before we were selling one steak a day and now we’re up to about 12 steaks per day because everyone is loving it. We were able to raise the price point up too because the entrée is becoming more and more popular.”
