The winter months provide many opportunities to warm the hearts of your customers with your creative, flavorful and beautiful menus. 

We want you to consider all that beef has to offer in meeting the needs for special menus for romantic and intimate gatherings.  In this season where love is the focus, beef is truly a “sexy” center of the plate choice, with continuing opportunities for dimension in flavor.

This month’s Prime News shares some updates for you about our exclusive provision of Sterling Silver ®Beef and Winn Meat Company’s proprietary dry-aging process.  Winn Meat Company has one of the very few dry-aging facilities in the United States, offering our customers a clearly superior beef product for their menus.

We wish you a successful Valentine’s Day season!

Let us know how we can help.
