Got a boss you need or want to impress for Boss’s Day? You know, not to suck up or anything, just to make sure the day doesn’t pass by without some acknowledgment.

Okay, or to suck up. Whatever you need to do. This IS your job, after all.

It’s coming up, people, so show him or her your appreciation the way I like to be appreciated – with steaks!

You could gift your boss with a pen or a paper weight or a trinket of some sort. But, why remind your boss of work with your gift? Step out of the cubicle. Let your boss know you see them as a person, too. A person who’s hungry. A person who eats. A person who has GREAT taste.

That’s why steak gifts are my go-to when I want to make a big impact. They’re memorable and delicious. Truly, you’ll be absolutely golden in the eyes of your boss!

So what are the best cut of steaks to give for Boss’s Day? Well, really, whatever your boss likes is the real answer! That’s first and foremost. Don’t know the answer to that question?

You don’t want to give away your gift idea by asking. So…

You can’t go wrong with Filet Mignon. I mean, it’s tender, juicy and very refined. A nice choice.

Want to give a little taste of Kansas City? KC Strip Steaks are fantastic and have a real meaty flavor.

Bone-in more your speed? T-bones, Porterhouse or Bone-in Ribeyes make a great presentation.

But, really, any gorgeous cut of steak boxed up beautifully will be remembered forever. And that’s what you want, right? To be remembered at bonus time? Or review time? Or when you thought that presentation was Friday, not Wednesday?

Get in good with the corner office with the gift of steaks for Boss’s Day. It’s a sound investment. And a delicious one, at that!

Fall is officially here!

That brings cold weather and . . . (cue dramatic music) the holidays!

And with the holidays come food preparation and gift giving!

Now, these things are supposed to be fun and wonderful, but waiting until the last minute can make them frustrating and downright stressful. I know. I’ve done it way too often and I hate myself for it. So why not plan NOW for the inevitable?

One thing I do get right is that I always, always stock up on steaks to have on hand for the holidays. There are tons of guests in my future and guests need to eat. Steaks are a fantastic go-to meal.

And speaking of steaks, steak gifts are ALWAYS appreciated at holiday time! Receiving a beautifully boxed gift of steaks totally makes someone’s day.

And you know they won’t return it.

Food as gifts always is a hit in my experience. It’s the perfect balance of giving a “thing” AND an “experience” all rolled into one. The experience of good food can’t be beat.

Besides steaks, some other gourmet gifts that are sure to be winners are holiday desserts like Buche de Noel and cheesecake, hickory-smoked hams and turkeys, and heat and serve meals like Beef Wellington.

Any gift that feeds my family and saves me time AND tastes delicious is a home run!

But the time to plan is now. Before time is short – and your temper is, too.

Make the holidays easy on yourself and give yourself the gift of time to enjoy them. Once they’re here, they go by so quickly. Plan now and you’ll really be able to live in the moment and just enjoy!
