The Williams-Sonoma Butcher Shop

So Williams-Sonoma just hung up a virtual butcher shop shingle. Pretty impressive line-up: Pat LaFrieda, Double R Ranch, Snake River Farms, etc.

It seems keyed to US Father's Day BBQ and grilling gift-making. I can't quite figure out how delivery is factored into the price and whether it's worth paying W-S as a middleman or not.

Has anyone tried this out?

I got the email on this today. Unlikely I will ever try it. I've got this odd hang up about ordering food on-line/mail order.

I would need to try it side by side with a locally sourced steak, even if that steak was sourced from Central Market or Whole Foods. I just need a pile of money, a grill, and some frineds to conduct a taste test. :cool:

To give you an idea of the markup, you can buy an 8lb Kurobota Pork belly from SRF for $45. It is $90 for the identical SRF belly from W-S butcher shop. The SRF bacon is $30 A LB from W-S!!!

Edited to add: You can actually get the pork belly directly from SRF for 38.25 if you use the coupon code SRFVIP. I think that code works for anything on their site.
