Local source for full-sized beef wellington?

[Anonymous]

I found some places that will ship a smallish frozen BW. Lots of places that offer individual frozen ones. But what I really want is to pick up a large one, six servings so 3+ pounds, not frozen, from somewhere local.

Any leads? Thank you!

Bumping.

I really don’t want to make the damn thing myself.

Can you just order two small ones

Have you tried Wegmans? Might be easier to find around the holidays.

Try calling Ridgewell's. I saw this on their holiday catering menu.

So easy to make them.

You can order them online from Wegmans during the holidays - I'm not seeing them on the website yet, but maybe if you called and asked?

it really isn't. The duxelles is labor intensive-- all that squeezing!-- and then you have to make the pastry. And I don't have a lattice cutter. And I hate making pastry. It's not that any one of the steps or techniques is difficult, it's that there are so damn many of them.

you can buy the puffed pastry. in fact I would imagine most of these places charging $300 for a beef wellington aren’t even making their own homemade pastry but using frozen puffed pastry.

Yeah, called Wegmans, they get them in frozen around the holidays. So apparently no one makes them fresh and from scratch. No more little local butchers/ traiteurs.

This seems like the perfect thing for one of those private chefs.

I might also call balducci’s. Or could you get 6 takeout orders from Gordon Ramsay’s he’ll kitchen?

I agree I’d make it and use frozen pastry. The mushroom part isn’t that hard — I make tjat often after work as a filling for hand pies.

They had beef wellington samples one day at Wegmans (some years back). It was very good.
