Pat La Frieda delivered to your front door



The seemingly ubiquitous wholesale meat purveyor, Pat La Frieda, will now begin delivery of their goods straight to your front door. For those of you not in the Fresh Direct delivery area, via ShopNBC, you can cop a Burger Package (as well as a Grilling and Steak Sampler), which consists of 4 - 6oz La Frieda Original Blend Burgers, 4 - 6oz Short Rib Burgers, 4 - 6oz Brisket Burgers and 4 - 6oz Turkey Breast Burgers for $85.74 + $11.99 for shipping and handling. They will arrive fresh, not frozen. Booyah! With just a few more weeks of prime grilling season left (though I enjoy grilling outdoors in the middle of winter as well), what a way to finish it off. Now only if they could stick a few Black Labels into the package for me...

World Renowned Meats Now Available to the General Public


NEW YORK, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrated Manhattan-based butcher Pat La Frieda is scheduled to appear on ShopNBC (www.shopnbc.com), the premier lifestyle brand in multi-media retailing. The premiere of Pat La Frieda Meats, which will be the first national roll-out of the product to the general public, will occur on Monday, August 23 at 7pm ET and on Tuesday, August 24 at 2pm ET.

Pat La Frieda, President of Pat La Frieda Wholesale Meat Purveyors, says, "For more than 90 years, my family's business, has been built upon selling directly to restaurants across North America, but never before have our products been directly available to the general public. We are thrilled to have a multi-channel platform like ShopNBC that will allow us to reach more than 76 million homes nationwide and provide their viewers with the same quality meats that top-rated restaurateurs and chefs have been using for decades."

The Pat La Frieda product line on ShopNBC will feature eclectic blends of burgers, cuts of steak, and sausage links -- all featuring the quality and flavor favored by discerning restaurateurs and chefs. The product line was developed to reflect the best of what La Frieda has to offer.

  1. Great article regarding Pat La Frieda, a wholesale meat purveyor, who will deliver to your front door if you're in their direct area. I personally love LaCense, who deliver their grass fed steak all over the United States. "If you are looking for good quality meat, I think a great place to have these steaks delivered is LaCense Beef. While I do work for them, I honestly use them time and again because their meat is better than anything else I have found and is much healthier than the alternatives that my local grocery store seems to have in stock. The health of my family is too important for me to take chances with.
