I’m a big meat eater. Few things in life give me more pleasure than biting into a juicy steak or admiring the smell of dinner sizzling on the BBQ. 🍔🍗
Lately, I’ve been striking out in the meat department more often than I’d like. The cuts I’ve been finding (when I can even find them) at the grocery store have been disappointing, and prices for options that would have been cheap years ago are through the roof now.
I did a little research, and stumbled on Good Chop, an online butcher that sources high-quality beef, chicken, pork, and seafood from domestic family farms and fisheries and delivers it straight to your door. I tried it out, and boy, did it deliver. Literally.
Here’s why:
I can choose from a wider selection of delicious, high-quality cuts
My local grocery store is hit or miss when it comes to meat quality. Sometimes, they’ll have a unique cut of beef or pork tenderloins for a good price, but I usually leave the butcher section feeling underwhelmed. It’s almost always the same 4-5 items every time.
With Good Chop, I’m choosing from an huge assortment of responsibly-raised beef, free-range chicken, antibiotic-free pork, and wild-caught seafood. My last box included Picanha Steaks and Grass-fed Sirloin Steaks—two things I rarely find in the grocery store.
And the taste is always on point. With grocery store meat, I need to be very careful about the way I prepare my cuts, and I spend more time with my meat tenderizer and heavy marinades than I’d like. My Good Chop cuts are high-quality every time and taste phenomenal no matter how I prepare them.
I’m no longer worried about harmful additives
I’m not the healthiest person on the planet, but I hold the food I eat to a high standard. I hate not knowing where my meat comes from, or how the animals were treated in the process.
Good Chop works with American farmers and independent ranchers who share their concern for animal welfare and sustainable agriculture practices. All cuts my family receives are free from questionable additives, including growth hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and artificial ingredients.
Meal prep has never been easier
My Good Chop boxes are fully customizable, so I get to choose what kind of meat is delivered to my home every month. With our plan, we select whatever 6 cuts we’re in the mood for that month. Depending on the cuts we select, we can receive up to 36 portions or 14 lbs in each box.
Since I know exactly what we’re going to be receiving ahead of time, meal prep is a breeze. Last month, our Good Chop box included grass fed top sirloin steaks, burger patties, and boneless pork chops (among other things), and I had a blast planning a month’s worth of menus around all the delicious meats in my freezer. 😋
It’s super convenient
Good Chop really takes the hassle out of meat and seafood shopping. My chosen cuts are delivered directly to my doorstep in an insulated, recyclable box. Everything arrives frozen, so I can choose which cuts stay frozen for later in the month and which are ready to defrost as soon as I open the box.
The delivery schedule is flexible, so I’m never left scrambling to find someone to accept my delivery while I’m out town. And I can change or cancel my plan at any time.
Good Chop has two plans available: the Medium, which is $149 for 6 cuts, and the Large, which is $269 for 12 cuts. Plus, new customers get $120 off across the first four boxes. They have a quality guarantee, too, and will refund you 100% if you aren’t satisfied.
My takeaway
I've been amazed by the difference Good Chop has made in my meal planning, recipe crafting, and all around meat enjoyment! If you’re the type of person who likes to bundle quality and convenience (like me!), I highly recommend saying goodbye to the meat and seafood aisles and trying Good Chop for yourself.
Trust me—you won't miss the butcher section. 😉
