- Howard Stern


The steaks were USDA Angus certified[8] and came in four packages with prices ranging from $199 (with two bone-in rib-eyes, two filet mignons and 12 burgers),[11] $349, $499, and $999,[12] with the tagline of "The World's Greatest Steaks."


According to Sharper Image CEO Jerry W. Levin, "The net of all that was we literally sold almost no steaks, if we sold $50,000 of steaks grand total, I'd be surprised."
