Assembled by the Dallas, Texas meat company, the basket is chock full of artery-clogging, mouth-watering goodies designed to put you back into dad's good graces by providing him with an assortment of treats that make for a perfect excuse for him to fire up his barbeque. Containing an assortment of the company's most popular meaty delicacies such as [beef jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-jerky), BBQ ribs and brisket, the basket is the [perfect gift for the meat lover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-steak-sampler-gift-box).
