Dear Food Lover,

The holidays will soon be upon us, and that means dinners with friends and family. If you're hosting the get-together, you absolutely want to serve something special. The meat you serve is the centerpiece for your meal, so I have three sumptuous items for the season.

An elegant appetizer deserves an equally stunning main course. My recommendation is our USDA Prime beef, available both dry-aged and fresh. Read my first article to learn why these selections of beef are an exquisite holiday choice.

For centuries, roasted goose has been the traditional Christmas dinner. Read about our choice for the season-natural geese-in the second article.

For an elegant appetizer to serve at a holiday party, consider foie gras from D'Artagnan. Read my last article to learn more.

Make your holiday special. Visit Balducci's meat department and take pride in knowing you're buying the very best cuts of meat around.

Happy Holidays,
Christophe Durand
