Filet Mignon

I'm a New York City gal and thought I'd try Q's filet mignons. Rastelli or Kansas City?

Suggestion........NEITHER

There must be a good butcher in New York City. Martha S got so many bad reviews about her roast............Some reviews said it (roast) spoiled their holiday dinner it was so bad.

@fthunt That’s funny, I read some posts on here that her dinners were good. There are good butchers in NYC. The one Martha uses is one of them.

I am just going by what I read on these forums, not first hand experience.

Kansas City

I've never had Rastellis, but Kansas City are flavorless. Waste of money.

Sams club or Costco would be a good place to buy fillets. I prefer sams club for fillet mignon.

@janiemay Rastelli has a store in New Jersey (sorry not sure what town). It's possible they supply some grocers in the NYC area as well. Honestly, I stopped cooking meat in my home several years ago, so I have not tried Rastelli unless it was served to me on the East Coast and I was not aware of it. My previous exerience with Kansas City was favorable. The cuts are lean, so without the fat flavor is reduced, so some may feel the need to add extra seasoning and flavor enhancements to the meat.

I live in NYC and I buy my filet mignon medallions at CostCo and they are excellent -- fork tender and flavorful.

I buy a whole tenderloin at the grocery store when it's on sale and cut my own and freeze. Easy enough and often sell than the cost of a rib eye per pound!!!

I buy Rastelli's and their pork and beef are very tender and good. Try them.

If you're actually living ANYWHERE in the NYC Metropolitan area and you're asking about meats on a TV Shopping Channel, you need a break. NYC has a gazillion places you can buy meat. And that doesn't include every supermarket in the area.

We buy it at the meat market. It's a little expensive but it's good & worth it.

Alid's carries them every once in a while for $12.99 per lb. We have bought some of those & they were good. Generally have them around Holiday's.

Thanks. I have a disability and don't get out much. I get my groceries from FoodTown and Fresh Direct and thought I'd try QVC for a change.

I didn't like the Rastelli steaks I bought from QVC. (got a refund) They were not Filet Mignon though.

I’ve enjoyed the Rastelli items I’ve had.

For goodness sakes. She didn’t ask if she should find a butcher or go to Costco. This was an either/or question and those weren’t options.

I've purchased many products from both of those vendors, over the years, and always got good quality.

I haven't ordered steaks from either, though, but the quality of the meat has been very good with both for the variety of products I've used.
