Here we are on Black Friday. And you either love it or hate it.

But one way to save big on the beef you want and need for the upcoming holidays doesn’t require you to pitch a tent, stand in line – or even leave your house.

My favorite steaks are on sale and you can see some awesome Black Friday specials here.

Shop for steaks online and give ’em as gifts this holiday, plus stock up for incredible meals over the holiday season. If you’re going to have houseguests these are always a big hit!

Seriously, it’s one of my top 10 favorite days of the year. A chance to save on my favorite beef without a stranger breathing down my neck in the checkout line.

Happy holidays, indeed!

Amazingly delicious meal, right?

Look closely, and you’ll discover that it’s not a photo but a startlingly life-like oil painting.

Above is a roast that’s good enough to eat. Among the Dutch artist Tjalf Sparnaay’s exquisite collection is a juicy burger and an overflowing sandwich.

Pray tell, where does he get his inspiration? 🙂

Well, I know. They’re the meals that keep people like you and me going. They’re the difference between a good day and a GREAT day.

If I had any artistic talent, I could easily take inspiration from them, too.
