Luxist Giveaway: Win An Allen Brothers Steak Prize Pack

Filed under: Dining

I recently wrote about Allen Brothers for their new Emeril Lagasse branded steaks but the Allen Brothers main brand is also worth mentioning especially since grilling season is officially underway. Allen Brothers sells USDA Prime beef, the prized meat used by the nation's premium chop houses. Less than two percent of all beef in the country is graded Prime, and only the best of that top two percent is deemed good enough by the master butchers at Allen Brothers.

With Father's Day coming it's the perfect time to treat your favorite dad to some prime beef.For Father's Day, Allen Brothers has a large number of selections that are fit for the king in your life – everything from burgers to gourmet steak dogs to lobsters, filet mignons and ribeyes. One great option for Father's Day is Breakfast on the Grill with Allen Brother's Petite Breakfast Steak Sampler, which includes two 4-ounce filets mignon, two 6-ounce sirloin strips and two 8-ounce ribeyes.

Another option, and one of the newest items for Spring 2010 just in time for Father's Day, is "Todd's Prime Assortment" – named after Allen Brothers' President Todd Hatoff. The selection includes two 6-ounce filets mignon, two 6-ounce center-cut eye rib steaks™ and two 6-ounce baseball-cut strip steaks.

We are giving one lucky Luxist reader a shortcut, one winner will receive an Allen Brothers prize pack. The package features two Wagyu long Bone Ribeye steaks 30-34 ounces each and 12 Great Steakhouse USDA Prime Steak Burgers, 10ounces each.

New Ultra-Expensive Sandwich Hits London

All of London is abuzz about the McDonald sandwich. BBC News reports that the new sandwich, named after its creator Scott McDonald, costs $148 and is being sold at the London department store Selfridges. What do you get for your money? The sandwich uses 24-hour fermented sourdough bread, wagyu beef, fresh lobe fois gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes. At 2,000 calories its not for dieters but a few curious Londoners have already sampled the rich repast. I think I'd still rather have the $100 Philadelphia cheese steak because at least your get a mini-bottle of champagne with it.
