Grass Fed Beef in Delaware
December 26th, 2006 by Dan GaffneyWhat started as an on air conversation asking about “Delaware’s most expensive restaurant entrée†(8oz. Dry Aged N.Y. Broil…..$53.95 at 1776 Steakhouse) quickly led to discussion about the difference between a 12 dollar steak versus a 54 dollar steak. It’s all about quality. This led to talk of my interest in grass fed beef. The cows eat only grass, as God intended, resulting in a much healthier, and natural cut of beef, rich in beneficial Omega 3 fats. I was about to order from All Natural Beef Company, when I discovered that here in Sussex County, C&J Farms ( west of Seaford on the Woodland Ferry road) is one year into selling  their very own grass only fed Black Angus. Mr. Carlton Jones tells WGMD he switched to all natural grass fed cattle farming three years ago, and is very pleased with the results. He is selling steak at his farm, 302-629-8194.
I’ll taste test it, and the All Natural Beef Co. and report back. I’ll be serving it with this for maximum impact! (Relax, it was a gift!)

Grass-fed beef is definitely better beef than regular run-of-the-mill beef IMHO.

Not only local grass-fed Angus, but that no anti-biotics, BGH, pesticides etc. are used…terrific. It tastes better, cooks better, “sits” better!

Where’s the Beef? I remember Parkway in Bethany Beach serving Wagyu last Summer. I only had it twice before in NYC. At $75 per 8oz serving I remembered why, but the texture and rich marbling is extraordinary, and this from someone who is not a steak eater.

$75 for 8 ounces?? When was that? Are you sure you didn’t get the knock off beef from American hybrids raised in texas? I think they often call it “Kobe” on the menus. The ban on beef flown in from japan was only lifted at the beginning of this year. At Nello in NYC, its $750 for 14 ounces. Cheapest I know of is Geisha ($300 for 16 ounces)
