The packaging is also beautiful, but if you just want cookies for you or to make goodie bags save a little money and get the bagged cookies vs boxed ones.

It's like putting grape jelly on a truffle -- you can, but why would you. When sweetness does work Sweet elements can complement steak when they're balanced and not sugary: * balsamic reduction * caramelized onions * red_wine_jus These are sweet‑ish but still savory, acidic, and complex -- they lift the beef instead of smothering it. Why a chef might do it anyway Some restaurants chase "contrast" for novelty: salty + sweet, rich + bright. But with dry‑aged beef, the star is the aging process. Sweet marmalade steals the spotlight. My take, stated plainly Dry‑aged ribeye deserves salt, pepper, maybe a little butter -- not a sugary hat. If you're paying for the aging, you want to taste the aging.
