Chef Sam Marvin and Echo & Rig Launch Passport Culinary – A Seasonal, Curated, Boxed Butchery Program Delivered to Your Home

Formerly known as Butcher in a Box, Passport Culinary Continues the Tradition but Ups the Ante with Select Cuts of Premium Cuts of Meats from around the World Accompanied by Complementary Recipes

Chef Sam Marvin has always strived to share his love of good food and quest for quality products with his treasured guests. He prides himself and his team on searching the world over for the best, most delicious cuts of meat that are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly to serve in his three locations of Echo & Rig, as well as available for purchase in two Echo & Rig butcheries in Henderson and Summerlin.

Chef Marvin implicitly understands that the cut of the meat on the plate must stand on its own. It’s all about the product. His masterful cooking – sauces, sides, and techniques – always complement, never cover up the star ingredient.

It takes a confident chef to share his knowledge, passion and cooking secrets with his customers, but Chef Marvin has always been an open book. He wants his guests to have as good of an experience at home as they do in Echo & Rig.

What started off as Butcher in a Box has evolved into Passport Culinary, a quarterly, subscription-based box of global deliciousness delivered to your home kitchen complete with six of Chef Marvin’s tested seasonal recipes.

Each box is $225.00 featuring five to eight separate cuts of meat. Let’s start with the Summer 2023 box, which is now available until September 25th. Enjoy two cuts (8 oz. each) of flavorful rich Creekstone Farms Black Angus Skirt Steaks from Arkansas City, Kansas.

Next up is a 1.5 lb, 8-bone Gund Agai rack of lamb from New South Wales. Iberico pork, anyone! A 2-lb, 4-chop pack of Spain’s best pork chops from Campo Grande in Iberico, Spain are ready for the grill.

For the ultimate burger try 2 lbs. (4 ½ lb. patties) of Mishima Reserve F1 Wagyu patties from Washington State. This is a box full of meat so good, so perfectly sourced and butchered, and so convenient for your summer barbeques that you will look forward with anticipation to your Autumn, Winter, and Spring boxes.

So here’s how it works, wiith the subscription model, you receive four curated boxes of delicious cuts of ethically sourced meat throughout the year:

Summer (July 1 – September 25, 2023), Autumn (October 1 – December 18, 2023), Winter (January 1 – March 25, 2024), and Spring (April 1 – June 24, 2024). Or, you can explore the Limited-Edition boxes for unique culinary experiences that are first-come, first-serve and feature rare cuts, specialty ingredients and collaborations with renowned chefs. Either way, you win in the kitchen!

“I want our guests to eat well and healthfully both in Echo & Rig and in their own kitchens,” says Chef Marvin. “With Passport Culinary I can guarantee the quality, integrity, and deliciousness of the assorted meats from around the world delivered in each box because I have researched, handpicked, butchered, and tasted every cut, and developed user-friendly recipes that I am confident will become house favorites.”

Passport Culinary is a premium, subscription-based culinary experience that affords a transformative, global culinary experience. With each new exceptional cut of meat that you try and perfect, you discover new flavors and up your cooking game. Each global farming partner upholds the highest standards in sustainable and ethical practices. They provide grass-fed and finished, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, GMO-free, and humanely raised meat. Chef Marvin and team only source British breed beef, graded to four and five stars for quality and tenderness. It’s a win/win for you, your family and your friends – delicious and good for you and the planet too!
