$30 for $60 Worth of Meat and Seafood from Marvin’s Garden of Gourmet Foods

Only domesticated in the last 25 years, cows still roam in the wild, but can be easily tracked by listening for the clatter of bells or spotting trees with “Bessie was here” carved into them. Find an abundance of flavor with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get $60 worth of meat and seafood from Marvin’s Garden of Gourmet Foods . Today’s Groupon does not include shipping fees. Marvin’s Garden blast freezes and packages fine steaks and seafood to seal in flavor and freshness for up to six months from the date of purchase. Restaurant-quality meats are delivered straight to each client’s novelty doormat, enabling feasts of Buckhead Beef products, a flock of poultry treats, or sundry pork offerings, such as 3-pound packages of apple-smoked bacon ($49) and slow-cooked ribs ($96 for 12 portions). The 16-ounce, bone-in cowboy Angus rib eye sates steak aficionados with closely trimmed prime rib, ideal for grilling or as an ice pack to soothe black eyes ($147 for six portions). Seafood votaries can sink incisors into preseasoned fillets and fresh fish , such as the rich and meaty wild Alaskan salmon ($84 for 10 6 oz. portions). Customers who purchase four meaty entrees will receive a meatless key-lime pie and a basting syringe autographed by their favorite athlete free of charge. Marvin’s Garden ensures the freshness of its meat through blast freezing , which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze flesh in seconds and lock in juices. Meats are sealed in cryovac packaging to protect them from bacterial cultures and pop-culture trivia. Although this Groupon is valid for in-store purchases, Marvin’s Garden normally does not have all items available online in stock at their store.
