Greer's OC

Want premium steaks, lamb, pork and veal delivered fresh to your door? No problem. Rick Nicholas, founder of the renowned Newport Meat Company, and his son Adam just launched 35 Degrees (a nod to the perfect temp for aging beef) that's giving OC’s home chefs and meat lovers fine restaurant grade cuts at home.

They don’t mess around with less desirable cuts. Their meats are only center cut, marbled, and aged to perfection.

35 Degrees can deliver fresh New York strip, filet mignon, Colorado lamb rack, porterhouse, Kurobuta pork rib chop, Salmon Creek natural pork porterhouse chop and much more.

35 Degrees arrived just in time for outdoor barbecue season, and it also makes a great gift idea. Starting today, 35 Degrees will deliver nationwide. You can choose a pre-selected assortment of meats or customize a box. 35 Degrees will pre-arrange a delivery date with the gift recipient, and voila, you just made someone very happy.
