dbHunterNY Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Steak and Seafood Direct had a truck setup at a business around here for people to buy wholesale in this time of need. So I thought. Wasnt what I thought it was. It was a bust. Nothing in bulk unprepped. Had to buy whole cases of either beef, seafood, pork, or chicken. It was individual proportioned and vac packed but most was preseasoned and prepped a certain way. No pricing really listed but when I did math after "taking a moment" chicken was over $7 per lb and both seafood and beef over $12 per lb. That was the "deal" if you bought about $400 worth. How the hell would a restaurant make money if an average person can get it for half that price in the grocery store? Wasted 20 min drive despite I got gas just over boarder in VT where it's much cheaper. Just letting people know if they do a tent sale near in your area to preemptively make a decision.

Still with 1/5 of the case being chicken tenders I was hell no. Lol people on the event page were posting 29 ribeyes for $29 but no such deal existed when you went there. Have a feeling those were planted comments.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
