Steak is useful for exercising incisors, muffling trumpets, and reducing swelling from black eyes caused by trying to eat steak with one's eye. Put steak to its prototypical use with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of premium steaks, slabs and more at Rare Cuts. This Groupon can be used at any of their two Louisiana locations: Harahan and the newly opened shop in Uptown, which is on the corner of Magazine and Nashville.
Locally run, Rare Cuts is a gourmet butcher shop featuring high-end steaks and specialty meats, which are sourced from small farms and ranches as well as local wholesalers. The boutique butcher shop's plentiful offerings include American Wagyu ground-beef sliders ($8 for a one-pound pack of 8), hearty 24 ounce slabs of porterhouse steak ($26), tender filet mignon ($29 for two 8 oz. steaks), and meat-induced super powers, including mouth irrigation and prescient euphoria. All of Rare Cuts' products are prepared in a USDA certified facility, guaranteeing the same precision and safety required by top chefs, restaurants, and child prodigies needing a high-quality rack of lamb for xylophone solos.
Rare Cuts' helpful employees will suggest types of cuts, and grilling and cooking instructions, as well as seasoning secrets and recommended side dishes for your carefully wrapped parcel of protein. Rare Cuts also frequently offers samples before buying, and on Saturdays at every location, you can hose down your mouth garden with a complimentary Bloody Mary.
Tax and shipping are not included.

myNewOrleans.com featured Rare Cuts in its Haute Plates blog in July, and Blackened Out also recommends it. The meat market has nearly 800 Facebook fans.
- If you like meat and love cooking at home, you need to visit Rare Cuts the next time you get a hankering for a steak. It is not only their knowledge and enthusiasm for prime meat that makes Rare Cuts a better option, but also their respect for the ranchers, animals, and butchers who produce the meat. – Blackened Out
