i've given it as gifts many times. they come well packed in dry ice and a cooler. the quality is excellent. My mom loves them. I usually get a special of $49 for a bunch of meats normally $179. I get the coupon at McDonalds in the parents magazine. I've never eaten the steaks, but my son loves them too. they usually come with desserts, and twice baked potatoes, filet mignons, sirlon steaks pork chops and 8 hamburgers. an excellent price for sure. but the $15 for shipping is the killer. we live in NY so it has to go further. get it for the deals. good luck.
