Omaha steak - question for experts

[temery]

I like Omaha steaks, but I have very low standards.

A friend of mine says Omaha steaks taste like meat that spent a couple days on a truck before being dropped on your porch in a styrofoam box.

I like them but I’m not a food snob. There is a store in West Hartford Center.

personally, I would not eat the shit myself, but its good for the fame and relatives.

What you're getting from most (not all) supermarkets isn't that much different than what you get at your local butcher shop. The butcher shops are just buying from the big commercial packing plants.

Ehh. We have two relatively new butcher shops in Fairfield/Westport and it is different. They receive the entire animal from medium sized farms in CT/NY where the cows live normal cow lives. I think these types of places are becoming very popular, at least in areas like this.

You’re going to the wrong butcher shop.

Retired chef here. Omaha steaks? Run away as fast as you can! This stuff SUCKS!

Well put. I receive a gift box every Xmas from a relative and re-gift it to a neighbor. When I want a steak, I want a good steak and go to a butcher shop or a high end super market with it's own butcher shop. I'm too old and cranky to even consider having a tiny Omaha streak that has zero taste.
