🌎 The Coast to Coast Showdown starts tomorrow… and the first deliveries started rolling in this afternoon.
There’s something about the day before one of these weekends that we love.
Boxes start arriving. Coolers start filling up. The Meat and Seafood crew starts unpacking things you definitely don’t see in a grocery store every day—and an idea we’ve been working on for weeks suddenly starts becoming real.
Today, fresh fish began arriving from around the country. Japanese A5 Wagyu and Australian Wagyu are here. Our cooler is getting pretty full, and we still have more coming tomorrow morning.
By the time we open the Full Service Cases tomorrow, it’s going to be quite a showdown.
We’ll have live oysters from the East Coast going up against oysters from the West Coast. Florida Red Grouper from the Gulf against wild Halibut and Coho Salmon from Alaska.
Then we head a little farther from home.
Japanese A5 Wagyu from the Far East. Australian Wagyu from the South Pacific. And representing the heart of America, Bison Ribeyes and our own H.G. Hill Angus Reserve.
And maybe our favorite matchup of the weekend doesn’t involve a steak or a fish at all.
🦞 The Lobster Roll Showdown.
Cold Maine-Style, filled with chilled lobster and a classic creamy dressing, versus hot Connecticut-Style, served warm with melted butter. We’ll be making both fresh to order all weekend.
That’s really what we wanted this weekend to be about.
Not just filling the cases with steaks and seafood, but giving Pleasant View a chance to taste how different parts of America—and different parts of the world—do food.
Come in for something you already love. Try something you’ve never had before. Or build a Labor Day dinner that travels a few thousand miles without ever leaving Pleasant View.
The deliveries are here. The coolers are filling up. The crew is getting ready.
Tomorrow, the showdown begins.
