Anyone know anything about Omaha Steaks?

Y'all are making me jealous with all this bragging about your great cheese.
Oh wait ...I'm in Texas, we got h.e.b. :mrgreen:

Shoot, we can't get decent cheese down here for anything less than a premium price.

Yet somehow we survive....

Can't get decent beef either, what's h.e.b?

Just a guy named Howard...

Historically, the company is known for its charitable donations, with 5 percent of annual pretax earnings given to causes in the communities it operates in, including education and food banks.[52] An annual charitable program maintained by H-E-B since 2000 is the Excellence in Education Awards, in which teachers, administrators and schools in Texas are recognized with awards totaling $500,000 in contributions in 2009.[53]
H-E-B coordinated donations to relief efforts in the wake of a fertilizer plant fire and explosion in West, Texas. The company donated $50,000 to the American Red Cross and launched a check stand campaign benefitting the organization to get the community involved in the relief effort. The company said in a news release 100 percent of the donations from the campaign will support the American Red Cross’s disaster relief efforts. H-E-B also activated its emergency response units, sending the H-E-B Eddie Garcia Mobile Kitchen and water tanker to West, including donations of meals and water to the victims and first responders.[54]

I just pick Tillamook because it is close to Alan and a long ways from Sky. I agree it is OK cheese. If we have the real good stuff do we eat it ourselves or send it to Sky? Nothing against Sky......

It's funny how everyone out here touts Tillamook as this amazing cheese. It makes me think the west is pretty lacking in the cheese department.

To answer to your question is: If we have the real good stuff, why would we share? I don't even share with my wife. Seriously.

Tillamook cheese is very good in my opinion, best cheese out here by far. Beats the heck out of Cracker Barrel and any other brand in our stores. With that said I have never had any cheese from, say Wisconsin or east of Colorado. I will say our ice cream sucks compared to some other brands I have tasted, I wish I could get my hands on the brand all my friends from the south rave on, can't remember the name Blue Bell or Blue Bonnet, I know it's a flower, it just sounds like good ice cream. Back to Tillamook cheese, give me a slice of sharp cheddar on top of a slice of hard salami topped with a large black olive.

Great stuff, agreed. Great smoked salmon, apples, wine, also out there.

No argument there NE, in fact apple's will be in season pretty quick.

 

[Alan]

Okay, I ordered some tenderloins and burger patties oh wait it's their "gourmet burger". I have a feeling if they felt the need to put the word "gourmet" in the name of their burgers they may not be gourmet.

I will agree with that too except the salmon. I was raised on that stuff. As in salmon for breakfast, lunch, and supper. I have eaten it baked, broiled, fried, salmon loaf, creamed salmon on toast, salmon sandwiches, smoked salmon, heck I have even eaten it raw. Mom had a cookbook, 1001 ways to cook salmon. I think she tried all 1,001 recipes. I have eaten enough of it to sink a battleship. If I never eat another salmon in my life it is just fine by me.

But I do really like a good apple.

Too much of anyone thing is too much of a good thing except beef. I could eat it almost every meal but my wife's family eat it's literally every meal. I remember when I went over there and we had hamburgers with a side of macaroni and hamburger! :lol2:

Slick, I'll tell you a good one to get that maybe you have in your stores. It's Cabot Seriously Sharp, by Cabot dairies. I think it's made in Vermont. It's white cheddar and it's great. Don't cost any more than Cracker Barrel, maybe less.

That stuff is pretty good, you can get it at Wal-Mart if I'm correct. Their really good stuff you have to order, which is expensive, but I have my folks buy it for me for Christmas. It's what I get. The really good stuff comes wrapped in wax and is excellent with wine-the deeper red the better. Let it warm on the counter for about 20 minutes and go to town. No crackers, or meat, nothing but the cheese.

 

[slick4591]

I haven't seen it at my local grocer. Bet I have to go to town to find it, but I'll look. Thanks.

 

[ga.prime]

Bestoutwest is right I think, Walmart has it. Maybe some other grocers. Look for it next time you're at Walmart, Slick.

Thanks for the post, if they have it at Walmart in Idaho with luck they have it here, I'll also give it a try. Thanks for the heads up GP.

 

[slick4591]

They recently finished a Walmart about 8 miles down the road so that will make it a little easier. Hope to find it there.

You talking about the princeton one Slick? Thats the one we use now.

 

[slick4591]

That's it. Hate Walmart but this one beats Greenville or McKinney.

I don't know how this cheese stacks up to some other cheese, but it's good to me. And my wife's family would appreciate the business.

 

[greybeard]

I like cheese--a lot, and would order some of that RiverRat Cheese, except cheese don't like me..and it dislikes me...a lot.
To the point wife runs me out of bed and on to the couch.
