Looks like the folks at Gilt have moved into culinary supplies. See anything worth buying? www.gilttaste.com

The steaks look pretty tasty.

the meats seem like stuff you can get elsewhere (like the flannery beef), I guess this is for the very loyal Gilt customer.

The funny thing is that Bryan's beef is actually damn well priced in store for what it is. He is a great butcher, really old school, and a damn nice guy.

Gilt jumped the shark a while ago.

tomme de savoie for $25? the fuck? i dunno. not much on there looks like a steal. pretty much standard retails. maybe a bit cheaper than a store in the middle of nowhere where there are no other options. Then again, you can always just go to other sites to buy it but i guess Gilt is trying to create a lifestyle brand type thing where the same people who are into the high fashion and use gilt will use them for "foodie" stuff. I won't use it but if they want to go after it, why not

It somehow went from "Get shit you actually want for half price...if you're fast enough" to "get shit you don't really want at a worse price than you can get if you look around a little...but you won't b/c hey we're GILT!".

Gilt's a garbage site with garbage customer service. I've gotten wrong orders on 4 of my 8 gilt purchases. In most cases they only offer Gilt credit. Just a bag of crap, IMO.

The two dozen oysters for ~$34 doesn't look bad. Cheaper than what you'd pay at a bar. But I'm sure I would be told otherwise shortly...

they offer full returns now. They went to shit when they went public though. Now they have 6 or so spinoffs and "if it doesn't work? Fuck launch it again with a different name!"

Instead of counting days on a calender, I count A. Testoni sales on Gilt.

He has a pretty good site. Has anyone tried this:

The Porterhouse cut has become famous as the Tuscan Bisteca Fiorentine mainly because of the unique cooking method it allows. Generally, it is 2.5" to 3" thick (will serve 4-6) and is seared on both sides to give it a good dark look, then finished indirectly by standing it up on the grill with the bone as the base. What this does is allows the bone to act as a heat shield at the point of direct heat while still allowing the high cooking temperature to indirectly surround the steak. And if you pull it off, you look like a pro at the grill, to boot! Go ahead, be a hero.
