LOS ANGELES – Today, Meat District announced a new partnership with basketball legend and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Meat District and its 10 butcher-crafted, premium burger varieties are a perfect partner for O’Neal. The burgers will come in a 2-lb package and will be available for purchase at retailers nationwide just in time for grilling season.
“We are thrilled to welcome Shaquille to the Meat District family,” said Meat District and Golden West Food Group President Josh Solovy. “When paired with one of the greatest basketball players of our time, our unparalleled burgers make an unbeatable team!”
With 10 mouth-watering varieties including the O.G., Steakhouse, Pitmaster and All American, Meat District offers the perfect burger for every kind of burger lover. Made with the highest quality cuts of Angus, Brisket, Short Rip, Tri-Tip and Chuck, Meat District burgers are a cut above the rest in the meat aisle.
