We first covered Phat Beets:

We suggested the Phat Beets as part of the Thanksgiving meal, and one of our panelists has this to say following the holiday:


My first thought has always been UGH.  I grew up in a house where beets - the canned kind - were offered up on a regular basis.  And they were never enjoyed, not by me anyway.  That's why, when Rick's Pick Phat Beets arrived on my doorstep a few days ago, I was anything but excited. But when a friend recommends something and goes through the trouble of sending it to you, you grin, bear it, and dig in. And that brings me to Phat Beets...in a word - delicious.  The only way to explain it is to compare it to eating jarred pickles your whole life - the really green ones that are in the supermarket aisle and require no refrigeration - and then being introduced to a REAL pickle from the counter at your favorite deli.  No comparison, right?  Well, it's the same with Rick's Pick Phat Beets.  They're really in a different class than any of the canned or even jarred varieties I was offered as a kid.   Definitely check out their website for some great appetizer ideas.  These beets can be served as so much more than a side dish!
